Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile OTA platforms, and more particularly to an OTA knowledge base interaction method for automobiles. BACKGROUND

[0002] The current OTA interaction system of intelligent automobiles is a pre-constructed and stored knowledge base that covers relevant information about vehicle or software functions, common question answers, and fault error guidelines. This information usually exists in various forms such as text, pictures, and videos, making it convenient for users to consult. However, the update of static knowledge bases is not real-time and needs to be manually updated periodically. Once the information in the knowledge base is modified, all applications or systems based on the database need to be updated synchronously. The current OTA interaction knowledge base system is based on traditional static database technology, which follows a linear process and adopts a simple question-and-answer mode, such as how to add a VIN number, how to upload software, and how to issue a strategy. Relevant information can be easily obtained in the pre-set knowledge base. However, it is difficult to handle complex queries that require multi-step logical reasoning and information that does not exist in the OTA knowledge base. If new parts or new vehicle models are connected to the platform, the traditional solution cannot retrieve the information in time and needs to wait for the user to update the database. The resulting information lag and rigid response will seriously affect the operation of the OTA platform if an error occurs. Therefore, it is of great significance to improve the response capability and response efficiency of the knowledge base and provide more accurate responses. SUMMARY
