[0046] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present invention to aid understanding. These should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.
[0047] Where there is no conflict, the various embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof may be combined with each other.
[0048] As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more related enumerated entries.
[0049] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. As used herein, the singular forms “a” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that when the terms “comprising” and / or “made of” are used in this specification, the presence of the stated feature, integral, step, operation, element, and / or component is specified, but the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof is not excluded.

[0050] Unless otherwise specified, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. It will also be understood that terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having the meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the invention, and will not be interpreted as having an idealized or overly formal meaning unless expressly so defined herein.
[0051] In the technical solution of this invention, the collection, storage, use, processing, transmission, provision, and disclosure of user personal information all comply with relevant laws and regulations and do not violate public order and good morals. The use of user data in this technical solution follows relevant national laws and regulations (e.g., the "Information Security Technology - Personal Information Security Specification"). For example: appropriate measures are taken for personal information access control; restrictions are imposed on the display of personal information; the purpose of using personal information does not exceed the scope of direct or reasonable association; and explicit identity targeting is eliminated when using personal information to avoid precisely locating a specific individual.
[0052] In related technologies, infrared detectors can only detect moving targets, and cannot trigger alarms when children or pets are asleep; they cannot detect dangerous physiological states such as suffocation or heatstroke (such as abnormal heart rate or respiratory arrest); they rely on door opening and closing logic, and will trigger false alarms if the driver leaves briefly (such as to refuel); they only notify the car owner and do not link the vehicle control system (such as automatic window lowering / air conditioning).
[0053] To address at least one of the technical problems existing in the aforementioned related technologies, the present invention provides a method for real-time monitoring of living beings inside a car. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The present invention provides a flowchart and logic diagram of a method for real-time monitoring of living beings inside a car.
[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the real-time monitoring method for living beings inside a car includes the following steps:
[0055] Step S10: Collect multi-source data on life status.
[0056] In this embodiment, the step of collecting multi-source data on vital states includes:
[0057] Once a signal indicating that all doors are locked is received, the system enters real-time monitoring mode.
[0058] Specifically, the system is linked with the vehicle's BCM (Body Control Module). When it receives a signal that all doors are locked, the system is activated from standby mode and enters real-time monitoring mode.
[0059] It is understandable that the system will only be activated when the vehicle is locked and personnel may leave the premises, in order to avoid false alarms while the vehicle is in motion.
[0060] Multiple sensors are activated simultaneously and scanned to collect multi-source data on life status.
[0061] Specifically, the following implementation methods are included:
[0062] Millimeter-wave radar: Starts operation, transmits millimeter waves and analyzes the echoes. Algorithms extract vital signs such as chest cavity micro-movements and heartbeat, and monitor respiratory rate and heartbeat (accuracy ±0.5 bpm) to obtain millimeter-wave radar data.
[0063] High-precision weight sensor: The sensor embedded in the seat is activated to detect if there is a load of ≥5kg to obtain weight sensor data. This threshold is used for initial screening to exclude heavy objects such as backpacks, and works with radar to distinguish living beings from static objects.
[0064] Wide-angle infrared camera: Activates and captures images inside the vehicle. Built-in AI models (such as convolutional neural networks) analyze the images in real time, identifying the morphological features of targets and classifying them as "children," "pets," or "objects" to obtain camera data.
[0065] / Temperature and humidity sensor: Continuously monitors environmental parameters inside the vehicle, including carbon dioxide concentration, temperature and humidity, to obtain environmental data.
[0066] It is understandable that by integrating the micro-motion breathing detection (0.1mm displacement sensitivity) of millimeter-wave radar with the continuous load analysis of weight sensors, and eliminating vehicle vibration noise through Kalman filtering, the static target recognition accuracy is >99%.
[0067] This step is understandably the system's data input stage. The four main sensors detect vital signs (radar), physical presence (weight), visual form (camera), and environmental conditions (…). A comprehensive sensing network is constructed from four dimensions (temperature, humidity, etc.) to provide a multi-source, redundant data foundation for decision-making and ensure the reliability of detection.
[0068] Step S20: Integrate multi-source data and determine risks.
[0069] In this embodiment, the step of fusing multi-source data and performing risk assessment includes:
[0070] A weighted confidence model is used to fuse multi-source data and calculate all data to obtain the overall confidence level of the existence of living organisms. If the confidence level exceeds the threshold, it is determined to be "static existence".
[0071] Specifically, millimeter-wave radar data (weight 0.6): as the core evidence of vital signs, it has the highest weight because it can directly detect breathing and heartbeat.
[0072] Weight sensor data (weight 0.2): as supplementary evidence of existence.
[0073] Environmental / camera data (weight 0.2): Environmental data or visual recognition results serve as supplementary evidence.
[0074] The engine comprehensively calculates all the data to arrive at a comprehensive confidence level for the existence of a "living entity". If the confidence level exceeds a threshold, it is determined to be "statically existing".
[0075] Risk is classified and determined based on the overall confidence level.
[0076] Specifically, this includes a three-tiered risk assessment:
[0077] Level 1: Static Presence - Basic Alert Level. The system has confirmed that a living being has been left inside the vehicle.
[0078] Level 2: Physiological Abnormalities - Intermediate Alarm Level. Building upon Level 1, millimeter-wave radar detects abnormal physiological signals in the organism (such as rapid breathing, tachycardia, or bradycardia).
[0079] Level 3: Environmental Deterioration - High Alert Level. Based on Level 1, The temperature and humidity sensor detected that environmental parameters exceeded the safety threshold. A concentration of >5000ppm or a temperature >35°C indicates that the environment is rapidly becoming dangerous.
[0080] Understandably, it transforms the raw data from the sensing layer into meaningful risk levels. Level 1 is a necessary condition to trigger all subsequent actions. Levels 2 and 3 are superimposed conditions; they can occur in parallel, and the highest risk level will be applied. For example, even if the patient is physiologically normal, the system will still handle the situation as the highest risk if the environment deteriorates to Level 3.
[0081] Furthermore, define the risk index. , Temperature (°C) The value is ppm. A Level 3 response is triggered at that time.
[0082] It is understandable that this model achieves coupled risk assessment, and its advantages are:
[0083] Both heat stress (contributed by temperature T) and hypoxia / poisoning risk (contributed by temperature T) were considered. Concentration C contributes). For example, even if the temperature is not extremely high (e.g., T=32℃), but if A rapid increase in concentration due to respiration by pets / children (e.g., C=8000ppm), with a risk index R=32 / 40+8000 / 10000=0.8+0.8=1.6, will immediately trigger the highest level alarm. Conversely, under dry and direct sunlight conditions, it may... Even if the temperature isn't high, a rapid rise in temperature can still quickly trigger an alarm.
[0084] Compared to waiting for a single parameter to reach an absolute threshold (such as T>50℃ or C>10000ppm), this model can issue an alert in the early stages of risk accumulation. For example, when T=36℃ and C=4000ppm, R=36 / 40+4000 / 10000=0.9+0.4=1.3, at which point the system has already been classified as Level 3. In reality, 36℃ and 4000ppm individually may not have reached the individual thresholds of other systems, but the coupling effect already constitutes a high risk.
[0085] Step S30: Implement a tiered response based on risk assessment.
[0086] Specifically, for all risk levels (once Level 1 and above are triggered):
[0087] Audible and visual alarm: Immediately triggers an in-vehicle alarm and hazard lights outside the vehicle to attract the attention of people in the surrounding area. This is the most direct and fastest on-site alarm.
[0088] APP push: The alarm information (including risk level, in-vehicle photos / environmental data) is pushed to the owner's mobile APP via the in-vehicle T-Box.
[0089] For Level 2 and Level 3 risks (automatic life support measures):
[0090] Window lowering by 5cm and air conditioning external circulation: The system automatically lowers the windows by 5cm (using an anti-pinch design for safety) via the vehicle control module and switches the air conditioning to external circulation mode. This is intended to immediately improve the survival environment inside the vehicle, introducing fresh air and lowering the temperature, buying valuable time for rescue.
[0091] Highest priority: For Level 3 risks (environmental degradation) or persistent Level 2 risks:
[0092] e-Call Assistance + Automatic Location Sharing: The system automatically connects the vehicle's emergency call (e-Call) service to a live agent. The agent will receive a pre-set alarm message (such as "A child has been detected in your vehicle and the interior environment is dangerous"), and the system will automatically share the vehicle's GPS location information with the assistance center and pre-set emergency contacts.
[0093] Furthermore, it also includes a tiered call and alarm process on the cloud platform.
[0094] Specifically, the cloud platform prioritizes calling the vehicle owner → if there is no response within 2 minutes, it transfers the call to the emergency contact → if there is still no response within 5 minutes, it automatically connects to 110 (police), simultaneously sending the vehicle's VIN code and coordinates. This includes:
[0095] Step 1: Prioritize calling the car owner
[0096] After determining the risk level, the cloud platform immediately and automatically calls the mobile phone number that the car owner has bound in the APP through the built-in voice call system (VoIP) or the communication module integrated with the operator.
[0097] Step 2: Upgrade call to emergency contact (after 2 minutes of no response). After the initial call to the vehicle owner, the system waits for 2 minutes. If the vehicle owner does not answer the phone within 2 minutes, or does not perform actions such as "confirm processing" on the APP, the system determines it as "no response".
[0098] The cloud platform automatically calls preset emergency contacts (such as family members' mobile phones). When the call is made, a pre-recorded alarm voice will be played, such as: "Warning! A child has been found left in your vehicle [license plate number] and the environment is dangerous. Please handle the situation immediately or contact the vehicle owner."
[0099] Step 3: Automatically connect to public emergency services (after 5 minutes of no response). The timer starts from the first call to the vehicle owner. If the problem is not resolved within 5 minutes (i.e., neither the vehicle owner nor the emergency contact responds effectively), the system determines that external assistance is required.
[0100] Automatic 110 Connection: The system automatically connects to the local 110 emergency call platform via the e-Call system. After connection, an automatically generated distress message will be played, clearly explaining the situation.
[0101] Simultaneous transmission of critical data: Simultaneously with the call establishment, the cloud platform sends a pre-prepared rescue information package to the emergency call center via a data channel. This information package includes at least:
[0102] Vehicle VIN code: A unique identifier for a vehicle, which can be used to query owner information and vehicle model (to help rescue personnel understand the vehicle structure).
[0103] Real-time GPS coordinates: Provides the vehicle's precise geographical location, which is crucial for rescue personnel to quickly reach the scene.
[0104] This may also include: risk level, sensor readings (such as interior temperature, etc.). (concentration), etc.
[0105] Understandably, this is the ultimate safety guarantee. When all individual responses fail, the system automatically and mandatorily brings in professional public rescue forces. The "5-minute" golden window and the design of "automatically sending VIN and coordinates" are intended to minimize the time required for alarm description and location, buying every second for rescue.
[0106] The real-time monitoring method for living beings inside a car provided by this invention collects data through the sensing layer, performs intelligent analysis and risk assessment through the decision-making layer, and finally automatically executes corresponding mitigation and rescue measures through the execution layer. It can reliably identify children / pets in a non-motorized state such as sleeping or coma, distinguish and accurately locate multiple living beings inside the car, and integrate physiological and environmental data to determine the risk level (such as mild hypoxia vs. endangered), realizing a fully automatic closed loop of "detection-decision-rescue" and avoiding the lag of human response.
[0107] Please see Figure 3 The present invention also provides a real-time monitoring system for living beings inside a vehicle. Applied to the real-time monitoring method for living beings inside a vehicle provided in the above embodiments, it specifically includes:
[0108] The acquisition unit is used to collect multi-source data on life status.

A comprehensive sensing network is constructed from four dimensions (temperature, humidity, etc.) to provide a multi-source, redundant data foundation for decision-making and ensure the reliability of detection.
[0121] The fusion unit is used to fuse data from multiple sources and perform risk assessment.

[0157] This may also include: risk level, sensor readings (such as interior temperature, etc.). (concentration), etc.
[0158] Understandably, this is the ultimate safety guarantee. When all individual responses fail, the system automatically and mandatorily brings in professional public rescue forces. The "5-minute" golden window and the design of "automatically sending VIN and coordinates" are intended to minimize the time required for alarm description and location, buying every second for rescue.
[0159] The real-time monitoring system for living beings inside a car provided by this invention collects data through the sensing layer, performs intelligent analysis and risk assessment through the decision-making layer, and finally automatically executes corresponding mitigation and rescue measures through the execution layer. It can reliably identify children / pets in a non-motorized state such as sleeping or coma, distinguish and accurately locate multiple living beings inside the car, and integrate physiological and environmental data to determine the risk level (such as mild hypoxia vs. endangered), realizing a fully automatic closed loop of "detection-decision-rescue" and avoiding the lag of human response.
