Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," "in still other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the key status monitoring method provided in this application embodiment is applied to a smart key based on near-field communication, and includes the following steps S101 and S102: Step S101: Acquire motion data, user interaction data and wireless communication data related to the smart key, wherein the wireless communication data includes Bluetooth Low Energy communication data; Step S102: Determine the current state of the smart key based on at least one of the motion data, the user interaction data, and the wireless communication data; The current state can be any one of the following: normal carrying state, potential lost state, and confirmed lost state.
[0029] In applications, motion data can be acquired using a triaxial accelerometer integrated into the key at a preset sampling frequency, such as 100Hz. The raw data is then processed by a digital filter to calculate the acceleration vector magnitude. When the magnitude remains below 0.1 m / s², the acceleration vector magnitude is calculated. 2 It is determined to be in a static state at that time.
[0030] In the application, user interaction data can be collected by a capacitive touch sensor integrated into the key, and a circular buffer is used to store the timestamps of touch events within a preset interval.
[0031] In applications, wireless communication data is acquired via a BLE RF front-end that collects RSSI values, for example, by sampling 10 times per second and using a sliding window mean filter.
[0032] This application embodiment acquires motion data, user interaction data, and wireless communication data related to the smart key, wherein the wireless communication data includes Bluetooth Low Energy communication data. Based on at least one of the motion data, user interaction data, and wireless communication data, the current state of the smart key is determined; wherein the current state is any one of a normal carrying state, a potential lost state, and a confirmed lost state. By introducing a multi-dimensional state monitoring mechanism including motion sensing, user interaction, and wireless communication into the NFC key, the problem of not being able to detect the lost state in a timely manner is solved. Using at least one of the multi-source data for judgment enhances the system's adaptability and robustness in different environments, improves the reliability of key state judgment, and provides a decision-making basis for achieving graded and accurate early warning from early risk perception to final confirmation, making it easier to find the key after it is lost.
[0033] In one embodiment, determining the current state of the smart key based on at least one of the motion data, the user interaction data, and the wireless communication data includes: If the motion data indicates that the smart key is in a stationary state for a duration greater than or equal to a first preset time threshold, and no user interaction data is detected during the duration, then the current state of the smart key is determined to be a potentially lost state.
[0034] In the application, the logic for determining a potential lost state involves maintaining a static state timer and a touch event flag register. The timer is started when the acceleration modulus continuously falls below a threshold. If a touch event is detected during the timer, the timer and flag are immediately reset. Only when the timer reaches a first preset time threshold, such as a 5-minute threshold, and the touch event flag is not set, is the current state of the smart key determined to be a potential lost state.
[0035] This application's embodiments construct a two-factor authentication mechanism with a time-cumulative effect by setting two criteria that must be met simultaneously: the duration of continuous stillness and the absence of interactive operation. This effectively filters out common, brief periods of stillness in daily life. A potential omission warning is only triggered when the still state persists for a certain period and there is absolutely no user interaction. This analysis method, combining temporal and behavioral aspects, significantly reduces the probability of false alarms caused by occasional environmental factors.
[0036] In one embodiment, determining the current state of the smart key based on at least one of the motion data, the user interaction data, and the wireless communication data further includes: The motion data indicates that the smart key remains stationary for less than a first preset time threshold, or that user interaction data is detected within the specified time; or If, in the potential lost state, user interaction data or motion data indicates at least one valid movement, then the current state of the smart key is determined to be a normal carrying state.
[0037] In the application, an event-triggered asynchronous processing mechanism is adopted in the potential lost state, so that the potential lost state can be triggered to jump to the normal carrying state when a specific event (such as detecting user interaction data or the motion data indicating that there is at least one valid movement) occurs.
[0038] This application fully considers the normal behavior pattern of users temporarily placing keys and then retrieving them in actual use. By using two intuitive physical signals, effective movement or touch operation, as the state reset trigger condition, the system can intelligently distinguish between two seemingly similar but essentially different scenarios: intentional placement and unintentional loss, further improving the reliability of key state judgment.
[0039] In one embodiment, determining the current state of the smart key based on at least one of the motion data, the user interaction data, and the wireless communication data further includes: If the duration of the potential lost state reaches a second preset time threshold, and wireless communication failure status signals are received from the mobile terminal and the vehicle terminal, then the current state of the smart key is determined to be a confirmed lost state. The wireless communication failure status signal is used to indicate that the wireless communication signal strength between the smart key and the mobile terminal and / or the vehicle terminal is lower than a preset strength threshold or that the wireless communication signal is lost.
[0040] In applications, confirming a lost state requires establishing a collaborative verification protocol among distributed devices. In some scenarios, the smart key can send a status query request containing a serial number every second via a BLE broadcast channel. Upon receiving the request, the mobile and vehicle terminals immediately provide feedback on link quality indicators such as the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The key terminal uses a weighted average algorithm to synthesize the feedback data from all devices, and determines a communication link failure when the average RSSI of all devices falls below -80dBm for 10 consecutive minutes.
[0041] This application's embodiments introduce an upgraded criterion that combines duration verification and communication link status assessment, building upon the potential loss state. Continuity verification over time eliminates interference from temporary signal fluctuations, while end-to-end communication quality evaluation confirms true spatial isolation, ensuring the reliability of the loss determination and preventing misjudgments due to occasional communication interruptions.
[0042] In one embodiment, it also includes: When the current state is the potential forgotten state, a level 1 reminder signal is generated; When the current state is the confirmed loss state, a secondary reminder signal is generated.
[0043] In the application, the priority-based message queue scheduling algorithm assigns different priority weights to different levels of reminder signals. Higher priority reminders can preempt the execution resources of lower priority reminders, and reminder tasks within the same priority are managed using the Least Recently Used (LRU) algorithm to ensure that important reminders are delivered in a timely manner and to avoid resource waste caused by duplicate reminders.
[0044] This application embodiment establishes a graded reminder mechanism based on risk level. By distinguishing between potential risks and confirmed risks, the system can use a non-intrusive and gentle reminder method in the early stage of risk, while launching a strong warning measure in the stage of risk confirmation. This progressive early warning strategy not only ensures the reminder effect when necessary, but also avoids unnecessary interference to users, achieving a balance between security and user experience.
[0045] In one embodiment, the first-level alert signal is used to trigger at least one of the following operations: Shorten the broadcast interval of the wireless communication signal of the smart key; Send a first instruction to the associated mobile device to trigger the mobile device to display a first prompt message or generate vibration.
[0046] In the application, an adaptive broadcast power control strategy is adopted for the specific implementation of the alert signal. When enhanced discoverability is required, the BLE broadcast interval is dynamically adjusted from the default 500ms to 100ms, while adaptive frequency hopping technology is used to avoid channel congestion. Mobile alerts are implemented through a system-level notification channel, ensuring the normal operation of the alert function through system services even when the application is running in the background.
[0047] In applications, the first prompt can be a text reminder, such as a pop-up message in a mobile app saying "Please make sure you have your keys with you."
[0048] This application embodiment targets the first-level reminder signal. By dynamically adjusting the broadcast interval, it appropriately increases power consumption when it is necessary to increase the probability of being detected, and maintains the lowest power consumption under normal conditions. This adaptive communication strategy ensures the effectiveness of the function while also taking into account the high requirements of the smart key as a portable device for battery life, demonstrating the intelligent management level of communication resource allocation.
[0049] In one embodiment, the secondary alert signal is used to trigger at least one of the following operations: Send a second command to the associated vehicle to trigger the vehicle to perform an audio-visual alert; A third instruction is sent to the associated mobile device to trigger the mobile device to push a second prompt message including the location information of the smart key.
[0050] In the application, if the user does not respond to the Level 1 warning upon confirmation of a lost status, a Level 2 alert signal is generated. This triggers the vehicle to honk its horn briefly three times and flash its hazard lights three times (automatically reducing the horn volume to 30 decibels at night). Simultaneously, the mobile app pushes a map link containing the last known location (based on the location of the last BLE signal).
[0051] When a user remotely starts the vehicle via a mobile app, the system automatically detects whether the NFC key is within the phone's Bluetooth range. If not, it simultaneously displays the message "NFC key not included, please check if it is lost."
[0052] The secondary alert in this embodiment of the application simultaneously utilizes the vehicle's audio-visual alert capabilities and the mobile device's location service capabilities. The vehicle's wide-range audio-visual alerts and the mobile device's precise location guidance complement each other. This multimodal, cross-device joint alert scheme greatly improves the success rate of finding keys in complex environments.
[0053] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
[0054] This application also provides a key status monitoring device for performing the steps described in the key status monitoring method embodiments. The key status monitoring device can be a virtual appliance in an electronic device, operated by the processor of the smart key, or it can be the smart key itself.
[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the key status monitoring device 100 provided in this application embodiment is applied to a smart key based on near-field communication, and includes: The data acquisition module 101 is used to acquire motion data, user interaction data and wireless communication data related to the smart key, wherein the wireless communication data includes low-power Bluetooth communication data.

The current state can be any one of the following: normal carrying state, potential lost state, and confirmed lost state.
[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, a third aspect of the embodiments of this application provides a smart key 200, at least one processor 201 ( Figure 3 The diagram shows only one processor, memory 202, and computer program 203 stored in memory 202 and executable on at least one processor 201. When processor 201 executes computer program 203, it implements the steps in the various method embodiments described above.

[0059] In application, this smart key adopts an NFC-BLE dual-mode integrated design. The core NFC chip is retained for vehicle authentication, while a new integrated BLE module enables low-power communication. It integrates a three-axis accelerometer and a touch sensor: the former monitors the key's movement (e.g., stationary or dropped), while the latter activates the BLE module via user touch (reducing unnecessary power consumption).
[0060] In this application, to ensure compatibility between the smart key and both the vehicle and mobile devices, the in-vehicle NFC controller has added BLE receiving functionality to scan the key's BLE broadcast packet in real time. The mobile app integrates a "digital key" module, establishing a low-power connection with the key via Bluetooth to synchronize movement status and location information.
[0061] This application embodiment integrates sensing, communication, and computing functions compactly within the key entity through high-level hardware integration. This not only provides a stable and reliable underlying data source for algorithm operation but also, through deep hardware-software coupling, allows the key to evolve from a simple authentication tool into a composite device with environmental awareness and intelligent decision-making capabilities, providing a hardware foundation for the continuous evolution of key functionality. Furthermore, a functional separation architecture for the communication modules is adopted. The near-field communication submodule is dedicated to high-security authentication scenarios, while the low-power Bluetooth submodule handles large-volume data transmission. This specialized division of labor based on application scenario characteristics allows each communication unit to perform optimally in its area of expertise, ensuring the processing quality of critical security services while meeting the stringent low-power requirements of daily communication, achieving an optimal balance between security and energy efficiency.
