Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of new energy vehicles, and in particular to a configuration method for TBOX software compatible with different export countries. BACKGROUND

[0002] Overseas markets have become a must-win place for major OEMs. New energy vehicles are in the export exploration period, and the number of export countries is relatively large, and the number of individual countries is relatively small. Due to the characteristics of high dependence on local SIM card operators, network APN, enterprise service platform (TSP), and local government ECALL rescue services, vehicle manufacturers need to develop vehicle networking products (TBOX) for each country separately, which greatly increases the workload of software development and maintenance of vehicle manufacturers. In the prior art, different export countries use different part numbers, and each single number maintains a set of software, and each set of software is tested separately. The corresponding software developers need to maintain a version of software for each country, and the corresponding parts engineers also increase the difficulty of parts management, and the testers also need to test the software for each country, which greatly increases the workload of developers, software managers and testers and seriously occupies the test vehicle resources.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described below with reference to the drawings, in which:

[0024] Figure 1A flowchart of a configuration method of TBOX software compatible with different export countries is provided for an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to examples shown in the accompanying drawings, in which the same or similar numerals indicate the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be interpreted as a limitation of the present application.

[0026] The present application provides an embodiment of a configuration method of TBOX software compatible with different export countries, specifically as shown in Figure 1 , which includes:

[0027] Step 11, obtaining configuration information for the target export country, the configuration information at least including part number and / or export country configuration word.

[0028] Step 12, based on the configuration information, updating the configuration parameters in the TBOX software, so that the TBOX software is adapted to the network environment and service platform of the target export country.

[0029] Step 13, based on the updated configuration parameters, establishing a communication connection between the TBOX and the enterprise service platform and / or vehicle emergency call service of the target export country.

[0030] Whether the part number is increased is determined according to whether networking is supported, enterprise service platform address TSP, whether vehicle emergency call service ECALL is supported, and SIM card operator, etc. In this embodiment, the “export country configuration word” scheme is added, which can be written into the TBOX software through a diagnostic instruction. The TBOX software maintains a mapping table, which can match and identify “whether networking is supported”, “TSP platform address”, “whether ECALL is supported”, etc. according to different export country configuration words. In this way, the part number is only associated with the hardware, and other features are distinguished by the configuration word.

[0031] Further, the part number is changed from being originally fixed in the software to a configurable item. The part number can be written into the software through diagnosis (written after 27 key verification), and the network access point APN corresponding to the link network is determined according to the written part number. If the part number is not written, the domestic APN is used by default to ensure network link. In this way, the same software can be used to match different export countries by writing different part numbers through diagnosis, which can reduce the workload of developers and testers.

[0032] Firstly, the part number and / or export country configuration word are written to the TBOX software through a diagnostic instruction; wherein the writing operation is checked by a preset key. Based on the configuration information, the configuration parameters in the TBOX software are updated, the corresponding network access point is determined from a preset mapping table according to the written part number; and / or at least one of the corresponding enterprise service platform address and ECALL service support state is determined from the preset mapping table according to the export country configuration word. The preset mapping table is stored in the TBOX software, and is used to establish the correspondence between the part number, the export country configuration word, and the network access point, the enterprise service platform address, and the vehicle-mounted emergency call service support state.

[0033] In the detection and test phase, the configuration word of the target export country is written into the software of the vehicle TBOX through the line electrical inspection equipment in the vehicle electrical inspection phase; the TBOX software selects the corresponding APN and TSP platform address to attempt to establish a connection according to the configuration word, so as to verify the connectivity of the TBOX and the TSP platform. In the software test and verification phase, the tester modifies the export country configuration word written into the TBOX to verify the TSP platform connection function and remote control function under different country configurations; and / or the tester writes the same version of the universal software to a plurality of TBOX hardware with different part numbers to verify the network connection, TSP platform connectivity and ECALL function respectively.

[0034] Specifically, different part numbers are applied and created according to the needs of export countries to comb different countries for “whether to support networking”, “TSP platform address”, “whether to support ECALL” and SIM card operators according to different SIM cards; the TBOX software development maintains a mapping table in the software, as shown in Table 1 below, and writes the part number to the TBOX through a diagnostic instruction in the last step of the TBOX component off-line, and labels it; the tester can test and verify the TSP platform connection and remote control function of different countries by changing the “export country” configuration word; the tester writes the same version of software to the TBOX with different part numbers to verify the TBOX network, TSP platform connectivity and whether the ECALL can be connected; the vehicle production line installs the real vehicle according to the label, and adds the “export country” configuration word in the electrical inspection; the TBOX software selects the APN and TSP address to connect the platform according to the written country configuration word, and verifies the connectivity of the TBOX and the TSP.

[0037] In summary, the configuration method of the TBOX software compatible with different export countries in the above embodiments of the application can compress the number of part numbers, reduce the workload of developers, and reduce the risk of incorrect installation and rework of operators caused by multiple parts in the production line; by making one version of software compatible with all countries, the development and testing time and resources are greatly reduced, and software generalization is achieved; subsequent expansion and supplement of export countries can be realized by changing the software only, without re-development.

[0038] In the embodiments of the application, if the expression of the position is mentioned, it is based on the relative concept of the embodiments, and in addition, "at least one" means one or more, and "multiple" means two or more. The "and / or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three kinds of relationships, for example, A and / or B can represent the cases of A alone, A and B together, and B alone. Wherein A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally represents that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.
