Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of vehicle design and relates to a solution that meets the user's need to operate a vehicle remotely. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the global automotive industry is accelerating its transformation towards electrification and intelligentization. Electric vehicles, with their advantages of environmental friendliness and efficiency, are experiencing a continuous increase in market share. With the surge in the number of private cars, urban parking resources are becoming increasingly scarce. Parking spaces in underground garages and multi-story parking lots are becoming increasingly compact, with narrow parking spaces becoming commonplace. In this scenario, the conflict between parking and retrieving vehicles is becoming increasingly prominent. When parking, even with the help of reversing cameras and radar, drivers often need to repeatedly adjust the vehicle's position due to the small gaps on both sides of the parking space, which is time-consuming and laborious. After parking, the door opening angle is limited, requiring the driver to squeeze out of the car, which is especially inconvenient for larger drivers or those carrying luggage. When retrieving the car, if surrounding vehicles are parked closely together, drivers often have to struggle to squeeze through the gaps to reach the driver's seat, and in some cases, they cannot even get into the car due to insufficient space. To resolve such issues, some drivers will forcibly open the door or manually move the vehicle. This can easily cause scratches on the vehicle's paint, damage to body parts, and other scrapes and collisions. It may also lead to disputes between car owners, seriously affecting the user experience. Currently, most existing vehicle assistance systems focus on safety assistance during driving, and there is a lack of specific solutions for getting in and out of narrow parking spaces and summoning vehicles. There is no mature system that can conveniently control the vehicle via a mobile phone to achieve precise movement and solve the above problems. Therefore, the research and development of related technologies is of practical necessity. Summary of the Invention

For those skilled in the art to which this application pertains, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] The vehicle described in this application is a wheeled vehicle that travels on land, generally a four-wheeled vehicle, and its power source can be an internal combustion engine, a battery, or a hybrid system. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 A method for summoning a vehicle using a mobile device includes the following steps. S1. The mobile device connects to the vehicle control unit and activates the vehicle summoning mode; S2. The mobile device sends a control signal to the vehicle control unit through a first application. The control signal includes instructions to start, complete, pause, or continue a summoning task. The vehicle control unit controls the movement of the vehicle according to the control signal. S3. When the vehicle moves to the preset position, the summoning task ends and the vehicle summoning mode is exited.

[0025] The mobile device is a mobile electronic device with communication capabilities, capable of wireless transmission of electronic signals. It may include a touchscreen for operation, and may have some applications installed to translate user input into control signals. The mobile device should have short-range or long-range mobile communication capabilities such as Bluetooth, WiFi, 5G, and 6G, and be able to transmit control signals to the vehicle control unit via a communication network. When the vehicle needs to move, the operator can select "Start Task," and the vehicle can perform preset movement steps, such as autonomous driving based on detected surrounding conditions. Once the operator observes the vehicle has moved to the preset position, they can select "Complete" to exit the current program, thus ending the summoning task. If an emergency occurs during operation, a "Pause" command can be selected, temporarily stopping the vehicle's movement. Furthermore, a "Continue" command can be issued when the emergency disappears, allowing the vehicle to resume movement. The preset position in step S3 can be determined by the vehicle's current location when the user selects the "Complete" function; the desired "preset position" is wherever the vehicle stops. Alternatively, the user can input coordinates or transmit preset location coordinates to the vehicle control unit before the summoning task begins, and the task will automatically end when the vehicle reaches the preset location. Through this method, the user can control the vehicle from outside, achieving the technical effect of maneuvering the vehicle when it is inconvenient to get in.

[0026] In some specific embodiments, users achieve function 1, summoning a vehicle, through the following method: After enabling the vehicle summoning function on their mobile phone via the soft button on the large screen, users can turn the vehicle summoning function on or off through the mobile app. They can then control the vehicle to travel to the target location at a certain speed using the function buttons for forward, reverse, left / right steering, and one-click return to center. The enable switch on the large screen is off by default and is remembered after power-off. 1. The vehicle summoning function can be activated and the hazard lights will flash to alert the user when the following conditions are met: a. The mobile app Bluetooth key has successfully connected with the vehicle's Bluetooth control module (TBOX). b. The key is ON and the vehicle is in the Ready state (TBOX). c. Unmanned Operator (ADU) d. The vehicle is in P gear (ADU) e. Four doors and two hatches closed (ADU) f. Steering wheel inactive state (ADU) g. Accelerator and brake pedals not depressed (ADU) h. No faults in related systems (power, braking, steering) (ADU) i. Fast or slow charging gun not plugged in (non-wired charging condition) 1.1 When the vehicle is not in the ON position or Ready state, the mobile APP prompts the user: "The vehicle is not started. Do you want to start the vehicle and activate the vehicle summoning function?" After the user confirms, the vehicle is powered on and enters the Ready state (Bluetooth connection is normal, the vehicle is stationary and in P gear, and the start verification is successful). When the conditions for activating the vehicle summoning function are met, the hazard lights will be turned on and the mobile APP will enter the summoning control interface. 1.2 When the vehicle key is in the ON position and not in the Ready state, the mobile APP prompts the user: "The vehicle is not started. Do you want to start the vehicle and activate the vehicle summoning function?" After the user confirms, the vehicle enters the Ready state (Bluetooth connection is normal, the vehicle is stationary and in P gear, and the start verification is successful). When the conditions for activating the vehicle summoning function are met, the hazard lights will be turned on and the mobile APP will enter the summoning control interface. 1.3 When the vehicle key is in the ON position and in the Ready state, if any of the CG conditions are not met, this function cannot be activated, and the user will be prompted: "Vehicle conditions are not met, the summon function cannot be activated, do you want to turn off the vehicle power?" After the user clicks OK, the vehicle power will be turned off. If the user selects No, the power status will remain unchanged.

[0027] To improve the practicality of the method, in some embodiments, the method further includes the step of the mobile device sharing location information with the vehicle control unit, the vehicle control unit activating an autonomous driving mode, and the autonomous driving mode navigating to a preset location upon receiving a command to start a summoning task. The shared location information can be sent by the mobile device via remote communication or other means. In this scenario, the location of the mobile device operator is relatively far from the vehicle's location. For example, the mobile device operator's location is at the exit of a parking lot, while the vehicle's location is in a parking space. After sharing the location, the mobile device operator's location becomes the preset location, and the autonomous driving mode navigates to the preset location when the vehicle control unit receives the command to start a summoning task.

[0028] To better perform summoning tasks, the vehicle can plan its route before moving. Specifically, the onboard control unit plans a route based on location information shared with the mobile device and the vehicle's location information, and navigates along the planned route to a preset location. For example, the onboard control unit can pre-plan multiple paths based on environmental conditions and then select the shortest preset path as the route. By pre-planning the route, the vehicle's recorded driving trajectory becomes more reasonable.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, to enable mobile devices to intervene in the vehicle's movement in a timely manner, more functions can be set to facilitate user operation of all vehicle movements and prevent traffic accidents. The control signals include forward, reverse, and turning control signals. Specifically, controlling the vehicle's movement according to the control signals includes moving forward, backward, and turning. In some embodiments, the mobile device can control the vehicle's steering wheel to turn left and right, and the engine output to drive the tires forward and backward, thus completing the above actions. In some further embodiments, the following function is implemented: 2. After the summoning function is successfully activated, the user can control the vehicle's forward, reverse, and turning actions using buttons on the mobile APP interface.

[0030] 2.1 Forward 2.1.1 When the user presses and holds the forward button, the vehicle is put into D gear and moves forward at a certain speed and the current steering wheel angle. The hill descent control function is temporarily activated when going downhill, and the hill start function is activated when going uphill.

[0031] 2.1.2 When the user releases the forward button, the vehicle stops moving forward, the brake lights illuminate, and the ESP maintains pressure (regardless of whether the AUTOHOLD function is enabled), remaining in the current position. If the slope is greater than a certain value at this time, the vehicle will remain in this position for a period of time (t1). If the user does not take any other action, the vehicle will be put into parking mode, and the gear will return to P. If the slope is less than a certain value at this time, the vehicle will remain in this position for a period of time (t2). If the user does not take any other action, the vehicle will be put into parking mode, and the gear will return to P.

[0032] 2.1.3 When the user releases the forward button, the vehicle stops moving forward, the brake lights illuminate, and the ESP holds pressure (regardless of whether the AUTOHOLD function is enabled), maintaining the current position for a certain period of time. If the user inputs an operation command (forward) again, the pressure holding will be released, and the new command will be executed (if the vehicle is going uphill, the hill start function will be activated; if the vehicle is going downhill, the hill descent control function will be activated).

[0033] 2.1.4 When the user releases the forward button, the vehicle stops moving forward, the brake lights illuminate, and the ESP maintains pressure (regardless of whether the AUTOHOLD function is activated), holding the vehicle in the current position for a certain period of time. If the user inputs an operation command (reverse) again, the gear shifts to R, the pressure holding is released, and the reverse action is performed by turning the steering wheel at the current angle (if uphill, the hill descent control function is activated; if downhill, the hill start function is activated).

[0034] 2.1.5 When the user releases the forward button, the vehicle stops moving forward, the brake lights illuminate, and the ESP maintains pressure (regardless of whether the AUTOHOLD function is enabled), remaining in the current position for a certain period of time. If the user inputs an operation command (steering) again within this time range, the gear will be maintained, the vehicle will remain stationary, and the steering wheel will be turned at a certain angle as instructed.

[0035] 2.1.6 When the user releases the forward button, the vehicle stops moving forward, the brake lights illuminate, and the vehicle is held in place for a certain period of time to perform parking. If the user inputs an operation command (forward or reverse) again, the parking is released, the gear is returned to D or R according to the forward or reverse command, and the corresponding scenario in 2.1.3 / 2.1.4 is executed.

[0036] 2.1.7 When the user releases the forward button, the vehicle stops moving forward, the brake lights illuminate, and the vehicle is held in place for a certain period of time. If the user then inputs an operation command (steering) again, the vehicle will remain in place, and the steering wheel will be turned at a certain angle as instructed.

[0037] 2.2, Back 2.2.1 When the user presses and holds the reverse button, the vehicle is put into reverse gear (R). The reverse action is performed at a certain speed and the current steering wheel angle. The hill start function is activated when going downhill, and the hill descent control function is activated when going uphill.

[0038] 2.2.2 When the user releases the reverse button, the vehicle stops reversing, the brake lights illuminate, and the ESP maintains pressure (regardless of whether the AUTOHOLD function is enabled), keeping the vehicle in the current position. If the slope is greater than a certain value at this time, the vehicle will remain in the position for a period of time (t1) and if the user does not take any other action, the vehicle will be put into parking mode. If the slope is less than a certain value at this time, the vehicle will remain in the position for a period of time (t2) and if the user does not take any other action, the vehicle will be put into parking mode.

[0039] 2.2.3 When the user releases the back button and performs the command again, it is the same as 2.1.3-2.1.7.

[0040] 2.3 Turning (left and right) 2.3.1 When the vehicle is stationary (in P gear, holding pressure, or EPB parking mode), the user presses and holds the steering button, and the steering wheel rotates a certain angle as instructed, with the rotation angular velocity measured by TBD.

[0041] 2.3.2. When the user releases the steering button and operates the command again, the same as in 2.1 and 2.2.

[0042] 2.4 One-click correction.

[0043] 2.4.1 When the vehicle is stationary and the steering wheel has been turned a certain angle, the user presses the one-key return-to-center button. The steering wheel returns to center, and the rotational angular velocity is measured by TBD. After the steering wheel is returned to center, the system prompts the user that the steering wheel has been returned to center. If the timeout period is exceeded, the system exits and prompts the user to check for obstacles near the tires or the steering mechanism. 2.4.2 When the steering wheel angle is already at 0, the user presses the one-click return button, but the vehicle does not respond and tells the user that the vehicle is already in the return state.

[0044] Some of the things in this application, such as Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the vehicle includes a visual radar, and the process further includes step S11, whereby the vehicle transmits images of its surroundings acquired by the visual radar to the mobile device and displays them on a first application on the mobile device. The first application can display visual image information from a viewpoint above the vehicle, including information from cameras positioned at the front, rear, left, and right of the vehicle, showcasing images of the vehicle's surroundings. This allows the user to easily see obstacles around the vehicle and receive timely operational feedback.

[0045] Other specific embodiments also provide related logic for responding to operation commands: 3. Interruption of operation commands 3.1 During the execution of a command (forward / backward), if an obstacle (static) is detected within a certain distance, the external speaker will emit a warning sound, stop the current action, illuminate the brake lights, and keep the vehicle stationary (holding pressure or parking), while also notifying the user.

[0046] 3.2 If the distance (forward / backward) or angle (steering) of the vehicle's current command execution reaches the maximum limit for a single execution (TBD), then the current action will stop, the brake lights will be illuminated, and the vehicle will remain stationary (pressure holding or parking).

[0047] 3.3. When the vehicle speed exceeds a certain value during the execution of any operation command, the current action shall be stopped, the brake lights shall be turned on, and the vehicle shall be kept stationary (pressure holding or parking).

[0048] 3.4 If the Bluetooth connection is lost during any operation command executed by the vehicle, the current action will stop, the brake lights will be turned on, and the vehicle will remain stationary (pressure holding or parking).

[0049] 3.5 If the mobile phone interface is automatically switched to the background while the vehicle is executing commands (forward, backward, or turning), the current action will be stopped, the brake lights will be turned on, and the vehicle will be kept stationary (pressure holding or parking).

[0050] 3.6 During the execution of a command (forward / backward), if an obstacle is detected within a certain distance (low-speed dynamic), the current action is stopped, the brake lights are turned on, and the vehicle is kept stationary (pressure holding or parking). If the obstacle does not leave within the time limit, the execution of the current operation command is terminated.

[0051] 4. Resumption of operation commands after interruption 4.1 During the execution of a command (forward / backward), if an obstacle (low-speed dynamic) is detected within a certain distance, the current action is stopped, the brake lights are illuminated, the vehicle is kept stationary (hold pressure or park), and the user is prompted. If the dynamic obstacle leaves the warning range within a certain period of time and the user continues to press and hold the button, the execution will continue until the stopping condition is met.

[0052] 5. Function interruption exit 5.1 Once this function is enabled, regardless of whether an instruction is being executed, if any of the following conditions are met, the function will be interrupted and exited, the vehicle will remain stationary, the brake lights will be illuminated, and the user will be prompted that the vehicle status does not meet the requirements. The function will then be disabled and must be re-enabled before attempting to summon the vehicle again.

[0053] a. The mobile APP Bluetooth key is disconnected from the vehicle's Bluetooth control module for more than a certain period of time, or the mobile operation interface is switched to the background for more than a certain period of time. b. Key power OFF; c. The driver's seat is occupied; d. Any four doors are opened; e. Manual intervention with the steering wheel; f. The brake pedal is depressed; g. The EPB parking brake is manually clamped. 6. Function off 6.1 Users can exit this function normally by using the close / return button on the APP, and the gear will be in P position, with the power and Ready indicators returning to their original states before the function was activated.

[0054] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 3 The process also includes step S4, which receives a first user operation command. This first user operation command is used to adjust the display or non-display status of at least one information display module on the first application. To better display the vehicle's operating status, the displayed data on the first application can be as detailed as possible, but excessive detail may obscure the user interface. Vehicle operating status information, such as speed, fuel level, battery level, and remaining mileage, can be presented modularly on the phone interface. The first application also provides buttons to close or show any individual module.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, the information display module includes at least one of the following: gear position indication, remaining forward / reverse distance indication, remaining wheel steering angle indication, current vehicle execution status indication, dynamic / static obstacle indication, vehicle connection status and indication, interface interruption indication, and virtual rendering illustration of the space surrounding the vehicle. In some specific embodiments, it also includes an HMI function, for example, an HMI: 1. After the function is enabled, the mobile phone operation interface should display the current gear, the remaining distance for forward and backward movement, and the remaining angle for left and right turns.

[0056] 2. After the function is enabled, the mobile phone operation interface should display the current vehicle execution status, such as starting to move forward, moving forward, or moving forward and ending.

[0057] 3. After the function is enabled, the mobile phone interface should display a prompt indicating that moving or static obstacles are obstructing the vehicle.

[0058] 4. After the function is enabled, the mobile phone operation interface should display the Bluetooth connection status and prompts with the vehicle, including connection normal, disconnection, and disconnection timeout countdown.

[0059] 5. If the phone's interface is interrupted after the function is enabled (e.g., during a phone call or other event), a notification message indicating that the function has been interrupted or has exited will be pushed to the user.

[0060] 6. Spatial virtual rendering (capable of showing the indicated location of vehicles and garages, dynamic display, vehicle driving direction, and access to surrounding obstacles, etc.).

[0061] 7. Condition prompts for interrupted exit (door open, driver in, Bluetooth disconnection timeout, etc.).

[0062] 8. Function activation / deactivation prompts.

[0063] 9. After the function is turned off or exited, unlock and lock buttons are provided. The default setting is lock after a timeout.

[0064] 10. The large screen has a function enable switch. The function can only be opened after the enable switch is turned on. When the enable switch is turned off, the function will be grayed out on the APP.
