[0012] In one of the embodiments, the method further includes:

[0013] In a case where the quick payment for the energy supplement fee fails, a code scanning payment prompt instruction is generated;

[0014] The code scanning payment prompt instruction is sent to at least one of an external display screen and an external speaker. The external display screen displays code scanning payment prompt information based on the code scanning payment prompt instruction, to prompt a staff of the energy supplement station to display a payment QR code in a camera shooting area of the current vehicle. The external speaker plays code scanning payment prompt audio based on the code scanning payment prompt instruction, to prompt the staff of the energy supplement station to display the payment QR code in the camera shooting area of the current vehicle.

[0015] The payment QR code displayed in the camera shooting area of the current vehicle is scanned, to complete payment for the energy supplement fee in the energy supplement charging information.

[0016] In one of the embodiments, the scanning of the payment QR code displayed in the camera shooting area of the current vehicle, to complete payment for the energy supplement fee in the energy supplement charging information, includes:

[0017] The payment QR code displayed in the camera shooting area of the current vehicle is scanned to obtain charging party information associated with the payment QR code.

[0018] In a case where the charging party information matches application party information of the target charging application, payment for the energy supplement fee in the energy supplement charging information is completed.

[0019] In one of the embodiments, the scanning of the payment QR code displayed in the camera shooting area of the current vehicle, to complete payment for the energy supplement fee in the energy supplement charging information, includes:

[0020] The payment QR code displayed in the camera shooting area of the current vehicle is scanned to obtain a payment QR code picture.

[0021] The collection QR code picture is sent to a vehicle-mounted display screen end of the current vehicle, and the collection QR code picture is displayed in the vehicle-mounted display screen end, with a central display area displaying an edge display area facing a copilot position; wherein the displayed collection QR code picture is used to prompt a copilot passenger of the current vehicle to complete payment of the energy supplement fee in the energy supplement charging information through a code scanning mode.

[0022] In one of the embodiments, the scanning of the collection QR code displayed in the camera shooting area of the current vehicle to complete payment of the energy supplement fee in the energy supplement charging information comprises:

[0023] The collection QR code displayed in the camera shooting area of the current vehicle is scanned to obtain a collection QR code picture.

[0024] The in-vehicle passenger data of the current vehicle is obtained, and in a case where the in-vehicle passenger data indicates that the current vehicle includes a regular payment passenger, the seating information of the regular payment passenger in the current vehicle is obtained.

[0026] In one of the embodiments, the determination of the target charging application associated with the energy supplement station based on the identification information of the energy supplement station comprises:

[0027] Based on the gate station name and the geographic position of the energy supplement station, a plurality of initial charging applications of the energy supplement station are determined.

[0028] The content information data of the application page of each initial charging application is obtained.

[0029] Based on the gate station name, the geographic position and a preset energy supplement keyword, the confidence of each content information data is determined.

[0030] The initial charging application corresponding to the highest value of each confidence is determined as the target charging application of the energy supplement station.

[0031] In a second aspect, the application further provides a vehicle-end control device, comprising a memory and a processor, the memory stores a computer program, and the processor implements the steps in the first aspect when executing the computer program.

[0032] Thirdly, this application also provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps in the first aspect.

[0033] Fourthly, this application also provides a computer program product, including a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps in the first aspect.

[0034] In the above-mentioned energy replenishment payment method, vehicle-side control device, computer-readable storage medium, and computer program product provided in this application, the energy replenishment payment method, by recognizing that the current vehicle has entered a replenishment station and the current vehicle's replenishment cover is open, indicates that the current vehicle is highly likely to engage in a replenishment activity. Then, the associated target charging application can be determined based on the identification information of the replenishment station; the identification information includes at least one of the replenishment station's gate name and geographical location. Subsequently, if the replenishment cover is detected to be closed, it indicates that the current vehicle has completed replenishment or abandoned replenishment. At this time, the replenishment fee information of the current vehicle can be obtained based on the target charging application to know the fee required for the current vehicle's replenishment activity. Furthermore, if the automatic deduction permission of the target charging application is enabled, the quick payment of the replenishment fee in the replenishment fee information can be completed directly. This payment method for replenishment activities does not require the current vehicle's user to lower the car window to scan the QR code outside the car with their smartphone, or to get out of the car to actively / passively scan the code for payment, which helps to reduce the operational complexity of payment for replenishment activities.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0043] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in this application can be used to describe various elements, but these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the first element from the second element. The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, used in this application, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The term "multiple" used in this application refers to two or more. The term "and / or" used in this application refers to one of the embodiments, or any combination of multiple embodiments.

[0044] As described in the background technology, mobile payment has become a very important payment method for consumers; however, when drivers need to use payment functions in many car usage scenarios such as gas stations and charging stations, they often need to lower the car window to aim their smartphone at the QR code outside the car to scan the code for payment, or get out of the car to actively / passively scan the code at the payment point to make payment. This process involves switching between apps, which greatly increases the complexity and time cost for users, and there are also certain safety risks when getting out of the car and walking.

[0045] In other words, in related technologies, for example, when users in the car make small-amount payments offline (such as paying for gas or parking), they need to roll down the window or get out of the car to use a mobile device to make the payment; for example, when users in the car use general payment scenarios, they need to perform multiple operations on their mobile phones to confirm the payment; for example, when users in the car settle gas bills, they need to use their mobile devices to scan a QR code to enter a mini-program / page, or a QR code outside the car, and perform multiple operations to settle the bill.

[0046] Based on this, users have raised new demands for similar payment scenarios, such as: users can make quick payments in their cars using the in-car system when using the mini-program in general scenarios; users can make contactless payments and leave after refueling or charging.

[0047] To address the complexity of energy replenishment payment in related technologies, in an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1As shown, this application provides a method for paying for energy replenishment, including steps 101 to 103. This method can be applied, for example, to a cockpit domain controller (CDC) in a vehicle. The cockpit domain controller is an integrated in-vehicle computing platform used to uniformly manage all intelligent functions within the cockpit, including the central control screen, external screens, voice interaction, instrument panel, head-up display, vehicle networking, and driver monitoring system.

[0048] Step 101: When it is detected that the current vehicle has entered the charging station and the charging cover of the current vehicle is open, determine the associated target charging application based on the identification information of the charging station; the identification information includes at least one of the charging station's gate name and geographical location.

[0049] Among them, the energy replenishment station is, for example, a gas station, a CNG station, a charging station, or a battery swapping station; among them, the energy replenishment station may be an energy replenishment station that has enabled convenient payment via a mini-program, or it may be any other energy replenishment payment station that supports any of the energy replenishment payment methods provided in this application.

[0050] Among them, the energy replenishment cover can be, for example, the fuel tank cover, charging port cover, hydrogen refueling port cover, battery swapping port cover, etc.; in addition, it can also be a multi-functional integrated energy replenishment compartment cover.

[0051] The identification information of the refueling station may include at least the station name and geographical location. The geographical location may be the geographical coordinates of the refueling station, or it may be the specific street location, the exact address corresponding to the specific station name, etc. This application does not make specific limitations on this. In addition to the station name and geographical location, the identification information may also include other information based on the needs.

[0052] The target payment application is, for example, a mini-program or a quick webpage; it integrates functions for collecting fees for the current vehicle's consumption at the charging station; for example, it is a specially designed charging application (mini-program), or a mini-program specifically designed for charging stations, which includes functions for collecting fees for the current vehicle's consumption at the charging station. Consumption behavior here may include pending charges for purchases within the charging station, such as pending charges for purchases at a specific shop within the charging station.

[0053] For example, the vehicle's cockpit controller monitors the vehicle's current location. If the monitoring results indicate that the vehicle has entered a charging station, it means that the vehicle is highly likely to engage in charging activities at the station, such as refueling or charging. To further improve the judgment on whether the vehicle is likely to engage in charging activities, the controller can further monitor whether the charging station cover is open. If the cover is open, the likelihood of charging activities increases. In this case, the cockpit controller can obtain the charging station's identification information and determine the target payment application related to the vehicle's charging activities based on at least one of the station name and geographical location included in the identification information. This allows for subsequent payment of the charging activity fees through the target payment application.

[0054] Step 102: If the charging cover is detected to be closed, obtain the charging information of the current vehicle based on the target charging application.

[0055] The charging information should include at least the charging fee for this particular vehicle during the current charging activity. Additionally, it may include vehicle identification and charging type information. This information helps improve the correlation between charging fees and the relevant vehicles, preventing errors in charging fee notifications.

[0056] For example, if the cockpit controller detects that the charging cover of the current vehicle is open and then detects that the charging cover is closed, it indicates that the current charging activity of the current vehicle has been completed or the charging has been abandoned. At this time, the charging fee information related to the current vehicle's charging activity can be obtained through the target charging application to facilitate the smooth payment of the charging activity fees incurred in the future.

[0057] Step 103: With the automatic deduction permission of the target charging application enabled, complete the quick payment for the charging fee in the charging information.

[0058] The automatic deduction permissions for the target toll application for the current vehicle can be pre-matched and set.

[0059] For example, once the vehicle's cockpit controller detects that the charging activity has been completed and obtains the charging fee information, it can directly and seamlessly complete the quick payment for the charging fee based on the pre-bound payment terminal. It should be noted that the payment can be completed based on the pre-bound payment terminal, which requires the payment terminal to have the automatic deduction permission for the target charging application enabled; otherwise, the payment function cannot be executed normally.

[0060] The energy replenishment payment method provided in this application, upon detecting that a vehicle has entered an energy replenishment station and that the vehicle's energy replenishment cover is open, indicates that the vehicle is highly likely to engage in energy replenishment. The associated target payment application can then be determined based on the energy replenishment station's identification information, which includes at least one of the station's name and geographical location. Subsequently, if the energy replenishment cover is detected to be closed, it indicates that the vehicle has completed energy replenishment or has abandoned it. At this point, the energy replenishment fee information for the vehicle can be obtained based on the target payment application to determine the cost of the energy replenishment activity. Furthermore, if the target payment application's automatic deduction permission is enabled, a quick payment for the energy replenishment fee can be directly completed. This payment method for energy replenishment activities does not require the vehicle's user to lower the window to scan a QR code on the outside of the vehicle or to actively / passively scan a QR code, thus reducing the operational complexity of energy replenishment fee payments.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, regarding "completing quick payment for charging fees in charging information when the automatic deduction permission of the target charging application is enabled", this application also provides an optional implementation method: completing quick payment for charging fees in charging information when the automatic deduction permission of the target charging application is enabled and the current credibility of the target charging application is equal to or greater than a preset credibility.

[0062] To ensure secure and efficient payment for refueling fees, this application further assesses the credibility of the target refueling fee payment application (target payment application) when its automatic deduction permission is enabled. This assessment can be based on a comparison between the current credibility of the target refueling fee payment application and a preset credibility obtained from the data storage terminal or server associated with the current vehicle. The data storage terminal or server associated with the current vehicle collects payment data for refueling fees from the current vehicle and other vehicles bound to it within the target refueling fee payment application. This payment data may include feedback information from each vehicle regarding refueling fee payments, including payment appeal information. This payment appeal information can be used to characterize the credibility of the target refueling fee payment application. For example, if the proportion of payment appeal information to payment data is higher than a preset ratio, the credibility of the target refueling fee payment application is low; if the proportion is equal to or lower than the preset ratio, the credibility of the target refueling fee payment application is high.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the cockpit controller obtains the current vehicle's refueling fee information based on the target charging application. If this information includes refueling fee, vehicle identification, and refueling type, it can further select to send this information to the vehicle's in-vehicle display screen for display. This allows the user to see the details of the fees to be paid. Simultaneously, the in-vehicle display screen can show a message stating "Refueling fee will be automatically paid after a certain time." If the user disagrees with the "refueling fee information," they can pause the "automatic payment" until verification is complete, at which point the "automatic payment" action will resume. If the user agrees with the "refueling fee information," no action is required; the cockpit controller will pay the refueling fee through the vehicle's linked payment account. Alternatively, if the user agrees with the "refueling fee information," they can use voice, touch, or button operations to inform the cockpit controller that the refueling fee can be paid immediately through the vehicle's linked payment account.

[0064] In one exemplary embodiment, if the "target charging application" is a pre-set automatic deduction whitelist application, it is also possible to choose to configure the vehicle cockpit controller to not issue any text or audio prompts to the current vehicle user during the payment process for the charging fee associated with the target charging application. The payment for the charging fee can be completed directly in the background; that is, a seamless quick payment for the charging fee. If the user subsequently discovers any abnormalities in the quick payment, they can appeal through various online and offline channels.

[0065] For example, the payment terminal that the vehicle is currently bound to refers to the payment account of the user bound to the vehicle. In practical applications, users can set up in-vehicle payments through interactive methods such as voice or operation. In payment account management, the trusted list and hierarchical authorization management can be done in the payment settings, and payment account binding authorization can be done by jumping to the account management system through the payment settings.

[0066] In an exemplary embodiment, the "main account payment binding" for the current vehicle can be configured to bind / unbind the payment account through the vehicle-mounted account management system; the "sub-account payment authorization" for the current vehicle can be configured to grant / delete payment permissions to authorized accounts through the vehicle-mounted account management system.

[0067] In an exemplary embodiment, the "payment account management" for the current vehicle can be configured to allow users to access and authorize payment accounts through the payment assistant interface on the in-vehicle display screen. Prerequisites for this operation include: the vehicle is powered on, the cockpit controller is functioning properly, and the system is running. The execution steps may include: the user clicking the central control card / voice command / large model to enter the payment management area; the user clicking on payment account management; and the user setting a preferred payment channel. The effects of this operation may include: the interface redirecting to the payment account management interface within account management; payment channels being dragged and sorted, with payment actions performed sequentially during consumption.

[0068] Specifically, the "Payment Account Management" function for the current vehicle can be further configured as needed: Authorized accounts of the main account (i.e., sub-accounts authorized by the main account) have the same permissions as the main account in payment transactions (excluding ledger / privacy / payment settings). Payments can be made using the payment account linked to the main account within the password-free payment limit.

[0069] For payment account management of different charging stations (merchants), "trusted list management" may be involved. Specifically, it can be set up so that payments to trusted merchants can always be processed quickly, hence the desire to manage "My Trusted Merchants". The prerequisites for this function include: the main account is logged in; the main account has completed payment account binding. The execution steps of this function may include: the user enters the payment management area; the user selects trusted merchant management; the user clicks on merchants under each category; the user sets / changes the default single payment limit for the merchant (e.g., a maximum of a certain amount) and confirms; the user removes a merchant and confirms. The effects of this function include: merchants in the trusted list support category classification (parking / charging / entertainment / life services / other); the user must be notified after the limit takes effect; payments within the limit of trusted list merchants do not require secondary confirmation; the user must be notified after removal takes effect; removed merchants are not visible in the trusted list and have no password-free limit.

[0070] During the execution of the payment function corresponding to the "trust list management", if the payment limit is exceeded, secondary confirmation is required, such as two-factor authentication through facial / voiceprint technology before payment can be made; if the timeout is caused by offline environment / payment timeout, the user must be notified through a window.

[0071] It should be added that, regarding the seamless payment function corresponding to "Trust List Management," the following settings are also available: After a user completes a payment to a new merchant for the first time, they can click to set it as a trusted merchant, or they can go to the merchant's details page to perform the operation; the limit can be changed, and the merchant can be removed; the limit set for a trusted merchant has higher priority than the general tiered authorization limit; the trust limit is only effective for password-free payment scenarios; and the merchant's mini-program / page in the trust list must support seamless payment Agent (intelligent agent) processing.

[0072] For the current vehicle "trust list management", the relevant functional implementation flowchart can be found here. Figure 2 If "Main account is logged in" is "Yes", the system checks if "Main account is bound to payment account". If the result is "Yes", the system proceeds to "Payment Management", "Trusted Merchant Management", "Category View", and "Merchant Details". Under "Merchant Details", options such as "Change / Set Limit", "Historical Transaction Records", and "Remove Trusted Merchant" can be included. After executing "Historical Transaction Records", clicking "Exit" will return to "Merchant Details". After executing "Change / Set Limit" and / or "Remove Trusted Merchant", the system reaches the "Effective" step, and the process ends. If "Main account is logged in" is "No", or if the result is "No", the system will prompt the user to "User Account Management" and end the process.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, the "tiered authorization management" function can be configured to set different overall payment security levels through a payment assistant. Prerequisites for this function include: the main account is logged in; the main account has completed payment account binding. The execution steps include: the user clicks the central control card / voice command / large model call to enter the payment management area; the user clicks on payment security level; the user sets the password-free payment limit. The effects of this function include: prompting the user that the setting was successful; transactions within the password-free limit (excluding the trusted list) do not require secondary authentication, and trusted merchants authenticate according to their set limits. Potential anomalies during the "tiered authorization management" settings include: failure to complete prerequisites, prompting the user to log in to the main account and complete payment account binding, followed by a redirect. Trusted list merchants adhere to their individually set single payment limits; tiered authorization only supports payments within the password-free limit scenario; mobile operations such as payment codes / scanning QR codes are not subject to tiered authorization.

[0074] For the current vehicle "hierarchical authorization management" function, the relevant function implementation flowchart can be found here. Figure 3The process involves checking whether the main account is logged in and whether the main account is bound to a payment account. If either check is "no," the user is prompted to "Manage User Account" and the process ends. If both checks are "yes," the process involves steps such as "Payment Management," "Tiered Authorization," "General Password-Free Limit Setting," "Effective Prompt," and "Payment Scenarios." Then, it checks whether password-free payment is supported. If the result is "no," the process is prompted that "Password-free payment for other methods is not effective" and ends. If the result is "yes," it further checks whether a trusted merchant password-free limit exists. If "yes," the process is prompted that "Trusted Merchant Password-Free Limit is Effective"; if "no," the process is prompted that "General Password-Free Limit is Effective." After both "Trusted Merchant Password-Free Limit is Effective" and "General Password-Free Limit is Effective," it checks whether "Payment is less than the password-free limit." If "yes," the process is prompted that "Payment is Effective" and the process ends; if "no," the process involves "Secondary Authentication" followed by "Payment is Effective" and the process ends.

[0075] In other words, the energy replenishment payment method provided in this application offers users the ability to make contactless payments within the vehicle through an in-vehicle payment assistant, covering and supporting numerous high-frequency payment scenarios. Users can complete the payment loop without having to take their attention inside the vehicle, ensuring driving safety and saving time.

[0076] In an exemplary embodiment, the steps described above, including: when the automatic deduction permission of the target charging application is enabled, completing the quick payment for the charging fee in the charging fee information, includes: obtaining the charging data of the current vehicle from the opening of the charging cover to the closing of the charging cover, and the current charging fee standard of the charging station; determining the estimated cost for the current charging based on the charging data and the current charging fee standard; and completing the quick payment for the charging fee in the charging fee information when the cost difference between the charging fee in the charging fee information and the estimated cost for the current charging is less than a preset difference ratio, and when the automatic deduction permission of the target charging application is enabled.

[0077] The energy replenishment data from the moment the charging cover opens until it closes can be based on data detected by sensors inside the vehicle, such as the amount of fuel added by a fuel level sensor or the amount of charge added by a battery level sensor. In other words, this energy replenishment data is detected by sensors and other components inside the vehicle, and is not obtained from the target payment application.

[0078] The current charging standard for the charging station can be obtained from the target charging application, or it can be obtained by scanning the relevant charging standard information in the charging station with the vehicle's camera, or it can be manually entered by the user. This application does not specify the method for obtaining the current charging standard for the charging station.

[0079] The estimated cost for this transaction can be determined by multiplying the refueling data with the current refueling fee standard. It should be noted that the refueling type related to the refueling data and the current refueling fee standard must match. For example, the refueling data corresponds to the amount of fuel refueled, while the current refueling fee standard is the fee standard corresponding to the type of fuel refueled.

[0080] The preset difference ratio can be set to a relatively small value such as 1%, 2%, or 5% to ensure the practicality of comparing the cost difference between the energy replenishment fee in the energy replenishment fee information and the estimated cost for the current time; and to avoid the comparison operation becoming meaningless due to an excessively large difference.

[0081] For example, after obtaining the vehicle's charging information based on the target charging application, the vehicle's cockpit controller can further acquire charging data from the opening to closing of the charging cover using the vehicle's energy monitoring sensors, and simultaneously acquire the current charging fee standard for the charging station. Then, it can calculate the estimated cost for the current charging session based on the monitored charging data and the current charging fee standard. Next, it can compare the estimated cost with the charging fee obtained from the target charging application. If the comparison result indicates that the cost difference between the charging fee and the estimated cost is less than a preset difference ratio, it means that the charging fee obtained from the target charging application is relatively accurate and does not require further verification. At this point, with the automatic deduction permission of the target charging application enabled, the cockpit controller can directly and seamlessly complete the quick payment for the charging fee in the charging fee information.

[0082] In this embodiment, by acquiring the energy replenishment data of the vehicle from the opening to the closing of the energy replenishment cover, the energy replenishment data monitored by the vehicle's components is obtained. Simultaneously, the current energy replenishment fee standard of the energy replenishment station is acquired. Regarding the difference between the estimated cost determined based on the energy replenishment data and the current energy replenishment fee standard, and the cost difference in the energy replenishment fee information, if the cost difference is less than a preset difference ratio, it indicates that the energy replenishment fee sent by the target charging application is accurate. That is, by comparing the estimated cost and the energy replenishment fee in the energy replenishment fee information, it is possible to determine whether there are any problems with the energy replenishment fee sent by the target charging application, which helps improve the accuracy of subsequent energy replenishment fee payments and avoids situations where the payment amount is too high or too low. Therefore, if the cost difference is less than the preset difference ratio, and the automatic deduction permission of the target charging application is enabled, a seamless and quick payment for the energy replenishment fee in the energy replenishment fee information can be completed.

[0083] In an exemplary embodiment, the energy replenishment payment method provided in this application further includes the following steps S1-S3, wherein:

[0084] Step S1: If the quick payment for energy replenishment fees fails, generate a QR code payment prompt instruction.

[0085] Step S2: Send the QR code payment prompt to at least one of the vehicle's external display screen and external speakers;

[0086] Among them, the external display screen shows QR code payment prompts based on QR code payment prompts, which is used to prompt the staff of the refueling station to display the payment QR code within the current vehicle's camera shooting area;

[0087] Among them, the external speaker plays a QR code payment prompt audio based on the QR code payment prompt instruction, which is used to prompt the staff of the refueling station to display the payment QR code in the current vehicle's camera shooting area;

[0088] Step S3: Scan the QR code displayed in the camera area of ​​the current vehicle to complete the payment for the energy replenishment fee in the energy replenishment fee information.

[0089] One alternative embodiment involves generating a QR code payment prompt instruction when a quick payment for refueling fees is detected to have failed; and then sending the QR code payment prompt instruction to the vehicle's external display screen.

[0090] Among them, the exterior display screen is a display screen installed on the outside of the vehicle body, used to display information to the outside of the vehicle.

[0091] For example, after the vehicle's cockpit controller performs the step of "completing the quick payment for the refueling fee in the refueling fee information when the automatic deduction permission of the target charging application is enabled", it will monitor whether the quick payment is successful. If the payment is successful, the relevant payment record can be saved; if the payment is successful, the user inside the vehicle can be notified by voice or text so that the user is aware of the payment success; if the payment is successful, staff outside the vehicle can be notified by voice or text so that the staff are aware that the relevant refueling fee has been paid successfully.

[0092] Correspondingly, if the cockpit controller detects a failure in quick payment, it can further select other payment methods. For example, it can generate a QR code payment prompt and send this prompt to the external display screen. The external display screen can then generate and display relevant QR code payment prompt information based on this prompt. This prompt information could be, for example, "Please display the payment QR code within the camera's field of view" or "Please display the payment QR code at [location]," allowing the charging station staff to display the payment QR code within the vehicle's camera's field of view. The vehicle can then scan this QR code using its external camera and automatically complete the payment for the charging fee seamlessly based on the pre-linked payment terminal.

[0093] In this embodiment, in the event of a failed quick payment, the cockpit controller can generate a QR code payment prompt and send it to the external display screen. The external display screen then shows the QR code payment prompt information generated based on this prompt, informing the charging station staff to display the payment QR code in a designated area outside the vehicle. The staff can then scan the QR code using an external camera and automatically complete the payment for the charging station fee using a pre-connected payment terminal. This not only provides a backup method for quick vehicle payments but also avoids the need for the vehicle user to lower their window and aim their smartphone at the QR code outside the vehicle for payment, or to actively / passively scan the code after getting out of the vehicle. It also helps reduce the operational complexity of paying for charging station fees.

[0094] One alternative embodiment involves generating a QR code payment prompt instruction when a quick payment for refueling fees is detected to have failed; and then sending the QR code payment prompt instruction to the vehicle's external speaker.

[0095] For example, after the vehicle's cockpit controller performs the step of "completing the quick payment for the refueling fee in the refueling fee information when the automatic deduction permission of the target charging application is enabled", it will monitor whether the quick payment is successful. If the payment is successful, the relevant payment record can be saved; if the payment is successful, the user inside the vehicle can be notified by voice or text so that the user is aware of the payment success; if the payment is successful, staff outside the vehicle can be notified by voice or text so that the staff are aware that the relevant refueling fee has been paid successfully.

[0096] Correspondingly, if the cockpit controller detects a failure in quick payment, it can further select other payment methods. For example, it can generate a QR code payment prompt and send this prompt to the vehicle's external speakers. The external speakers can then generate and play a related QR code payment prompt audio based on this prompt. This audio could be something like "Please display the payment QR code within the camera's field of view" or "Please display the payment QR code at [location]," allowing the charging station staff to display the payment QR code within the vehicle's camera's field of view. The vehicle can then scan the QR code using its external camera and automatically complete the payment for the charging fee seamlessly based on the pre-linked payment terminal.

[0097] In this embodiment, in the event of a failed quick payment, the cockpit controller can generate a QR code payment prompt and send it to the external speakers. The external speakers then play a QR code payment prompt audio generated based on this prompt, informing the charging station staff to display the payment QR code in a designated area outside the vehicle. The staff can then scan the QR code using an external camera, and the payment for the charging station fee is automatically and seamlessly completed based on a pre-linked payment terminal. This not only provides a backup method for quick vehicle payments but also avoids the need for the vehicle user to lower their window and aim their smartphone at the QR code outside the vehicle for scanning, or to actively / passively scan the code after getting out of the vehicle. It also helps reduce the operational complexity of paying for charging station fees.

[0098] For example, since playing the QR code payment prompt audio may affect the user experience of other users at the charging station, this application provides an alternative implementation method: when the contactless quick payment for vehicle charging fees can be completed by executing steps 101-103, this payment method is preferred; if the contactless quick payment fails, a payment method that prompts staff to display the QR code on the vehicle's external display screen can be selected, which is preferred over the payment method that prompts staff to display the QR code through the vehicle's external speaker, so as to reduce the complexity of the charging fee payment operation and avoid interference with other users at the charging station.

[0099] Another alternative implementation is to generate a QR code payment prompt instruction when a quick payment for refueling fees is detected to have failed; and simultaneously send the QR code payment prompt instruction to the vehicle's external display screen and external speakers.

[0100] Furthermore, when the staff at the refueling station displays the payment QR code within the camera's field of view of the current vehicle, the cockpit domain controller can control the vehicle's front-facing camera / external camera to scan the payment QR code. Based on the scanning and recognition results, the system can call the pre-linked payment terminal of the current vehicle to complete the quick payment for the refueling fee in the refueling fee information.

[0101] In an exemplary embodiment, the above steps are performed as follows: scanning the QR code displayed in the camera field of the current vehicle to complete the payment for the energy replenishment fee in the energy replenishment fee information, including: scanning the QR code displayed in the camera field of the current vehicle to obtain the payment party information associated with the QR code; and completing the payment for the energy replenishment fee in the energy replenishment fee information if the payment party information and the application party information of the target charging application match.

[0102] Among them, the payment QR code associated with the payment party information is used to indicate which party ultimately receives the payment fee for scanning the QR code; the application party information of the target payment application can also be used to indicate which party ultimately receives the payment fee for the contactless quick payment.

[0103] For example, when the vehicle's camera captures a payment QR code in front of the vehicle, the cockpit domain controller can control the vehicle's front-facing camera / external camera to scan the payment QR code. Based on the scanning result, it first obtains the payment provider information associated with the payment QR code, and then compares the obtained payment provider information with the application provider information of the target payment application. If the comparison result indicates that the payment provider information and the application provider information are the same, it can be concluded that the payment QR code scanned by the vehicle's camera is the one used by the current charging station to collect the current vehicle's charging fee. At this time, the payment for the charging fee in the charging fee information can be completed seamlessly based on the payment terminal bound to the vehicle.

[0104] In this embodiment, by comparing the payment information associated with the scanned QR code with the application information of the target payment application, the subsequent step of seamlessly completing the payment of the energy replenishment fee based on the vehicle-bound payment terminal is triggered only if the comparison result indicates that the two are the same. This helps to ensure the accuracy of the payment completed by scanning the QR code and avoids the occurrence of payment errors.

[0105] In an exemplary embodiment, the above-mentioned step of scanning the QR code displayed within the camera's field of view of the current vehicle to complete the payment for the refueling fee in the refueling fee information includes: scanning the QR code displayed within the camera's field of view of the current vehicle to obtain a QR code image; sending the QR code image to the vehicle's in-vehicle display screen and instructing the QR code image to be displayed on the in-vehicle display screen, with the center display area facing the edge display area towards the passenger seat; wherein, the displayed QR code image is used to prompt the passenger in the current vehicle to complete the payment for the refueling fee in the refueling fee information by scanning the code.

[0106] Here, the in-vehicle display screen refers to the in-vehicle display screen inside the vehicle that faces forward from the driver's seat and the front passenger seat. The in-vehicle display screen may consist of only one display screen or a dual-screen display screen that includes a main display screen and a secondary display screen. When the in-vehicle display screen includes a main display screen and a secondary display screen, the secondary display screen is generally located on the side of the main display screen that is closer to the front passenger seat.

[0107] When the vehicle-mounted display screen includes only one display screen, the display area of ​​the display screen can be divided into a central display area and an edge display area. The edge display area can be set to completely surround the central display area, or the edge display area can be set to partially surround the central display area. This application does not limit this.

[0108] When the vehicle-mounted display includes a main display and a secondary display, the entire display area of ​​the main display can be used as the central display area, and the entire display area of ​​the secondary display can be used as the edge display area. Alternatively, the display areas included by the main display and the secondary display can be regarded as a whole display area. In this case, the edge display area can be set to completely surround the central display area, or the edge display area can be set to partially surround the central display area.

[0109] For example, the vehicle's cockpit controller can scan the payment QR code displayed within the camera's field of view and convert it into a payment QR code image. Then, it sends the payment QR code image to the vehicle's in-vehicle display screen and instructs the image to be displayed on the screen, with the center display area facing the edge of the passenger side. This ensures the payment QR code image is displayed closer to the passenger, prompting the passenger to scan the code using a portable device to pay for the refueling.

[0110] In this embodiment, by directly displaying the payment QR code image on the side closer to the front passenger, the convenience of payment for refueling fees for the front passenger can be improved, and the adverse effects or inconveniences on vehicle driving safety caused by the driver using QR code payment can be avoided.

[0111] In an exemplary embodiment, the above-described steps of scanning the payment QR code displayed within the camera's field of view of the current vehicle to complete the payment for the refueling fee in the refueling charge information include: scanning the payment QR code displayed within the camera's field of view of the current vehicle to obtain a payment QR code image; obtaining the occupant data of the current vehicle, and if the occupant data indicates that the current vehicle includes a regularly paying occupant, obtaining the occupant's seating information in the current vehicle; sending the payment QR code image to the in-vehicle display screen pre-matched with the seating information; or, sending the payment QR code image to the pre-matched display area of ​​the in-vehicle display screen pre-matched with the seating information; wherein the displayed payment QR code image is used to prompt the regularly paying occupant to complete the payment for the refueling fee in the refueling charge information by scanning the code.

[0112] The current vehicle occupant data can be obtained based on occupant data detected by at least one of the following: in-vehicle cameras, radar, and seat sensors. The occupant data includes at least the number and distribution of occupants, as well as the identification information of each occupant. The occupant identification information can be used to determine the occupant's type, such as regular occupant and general occupant, driver, family member, and general occupant types, etc. The specific content of the identification information can be configured based on requirements.

[0113] As described above, "frequent payers" is a type of identification information for vehicle occupants. This identification information can be a predetermined parameter value pre-configured by the vehicle's administrator; alternatively, it can be based on obtaining historical payment information for each vehicle's occupants regarding the current vehicle's expenses, and analyzing the payment frequency of each occupant from this historical payment information. Occupants whose payment frequency is higher than a preset frequency, or whose payment frequency ranks in the top N, can be identified as frequent payers. The value of N can be selected based on requirements, for example, it could be 1, 2, 3, or 4, etc.

[0114] For example, the vehicle's cockpit controller can scan the payment QR code displayed within the camera's field of view and convert it into a payment QR code image. Simultaneously, it acquires occupant data to identify whether a regular payer (an occupant who frequently pays for vehicle-related expenses) is present in the vehicle. If a regular payer is identified, their seating position within the vehicle (based on seating information) can be determined. For instance, if the regular payer is located in the front passenger seat, the payment QR code image can be sent to the in-vehicle display screen corresponding to the front passenger seat, or to an area near the front passenger seat on the in-vehicle display screen. This displays the payment QR code image, prompting the front passenger to scan it with a portable device to complete the payment for the refueling fee.

[0115] For example, if it is determined that the regular occupant is in the driver's seat, the payment QR code image can be sent to the in-vehicle display screen corresponding to the driver's seat, or to the area near the driver's seat on the in-vehicle display screen corresponding to the driver's seat. The displayed payment QR code image will prompt the current vehicle's driver or passenger to complete the payment for the refueling fee by scanning the code with a portable device.

[0116] For example, if the occupant is located in the right rear seat, the payment QR code image can be sent to the in-vehicle display screen behind the passenger seat. The displayed QR code image will then prompt the occupant in the right rear seat to scan the code with a portable device to complete the payment for the refueling fee.

[0117] In this embodiment, by acquiring the seating information of frequently paying passengers from the current vehicle occupant data, the payment QR code image is sent to the in-vehicle display screen (or further corresponding display area) pre-matched to the seating information. This improves the convenience of payment for refueling fees for frequently paying passengers and avoids the disadvantages or inconveniences of requiring the driver to use QR code payment. Furthermore, identifying "frequently paying passengers" also facilitates providing the payment QR code directly to the desired display screen location for in-vehicle users, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0118] This embodiment can automatically identify and determine who should pay for the current energy replenishment in a scenario where there are multiple people inside the vehicle. Specifically, it can be obtained based on the historical behavior data of each passenger inside the vehicle. If a passenger has a higher payment frequency in the historical behavior data, then the passenger most likely to pay at this time is determined.

[0119] It should be added that, for example, if there are at least two frequent payers among the occupants of the vehicle, and one of these frequent payers is in the driver's seat, the payment QR code image will be sent to the in-vehicle display screen (pre-matching display area) that pre-matches the seat information of the other frequent payer; for example, if there are at least two frequent payers among the occupants of the vehicle, and neither of these frequent payers is in the driver's seat, the number of payments made by these two frequent payers can be obtained, and the one with the more payments can be selected as the target frequent payer, and the payment QR code image will be sent to the in-vehicle display screen (pre-matching display area) that pre-matches the seat information of the target frequent payer.

[0120] In an exemplary embodiment, determining the associated target charging application based on the identification information of the charging station includes: determining multiple initial charging applications for the charging station based on the station name and geographical location; obtaining content information data of the application page of each initial charging application; determining the confidence level of each content information data based on the station name, geographical location and preset charging keywords; and determining the initial charging application corresponding to the highest confidence level among the various confidence levels as the target charging application for the charging station.

[0121] When searching for a specific charging station using only its gate name and location, multiple mini-programs related to "gate name + location" may be found. However, some of these mini-programs may be unrelated to the target charging station, while others may be deprecated or not used for charging for charging. Therefore, it is necessary to find the target charging application (target charging mini-program) among these multiple mini-programs to avoid situations where payment for charging is not possible or incorrect.

[0122] The preset keywords for energy replenishment may include: refueling, energy replenishment, charging, gas filling, electricity filling, energy, petrochemicals, petroleum, etc., as well as payment, payment, payment, settlement, etc. related to energy replenishment fees.

[0123] For example, when the cockpit domain controller detects that the current vehicle has entered a charging station and the charging station cover is open, it can first obtain identification information such as the charging station's gate name and geographical location. Then, based on this identification information, it searches for the initial payment application related to the charging station. Since the payment for charging is to be made through a relevant mini-program, in order to find the target charging application from multiple initial payment applications, the content information data of the application page corresponding to each initial payment application can be obtained. Then, it can be further analyzed by combining preset charging keywords, the charging station's gate name, and geographical location to obtain the matching degree of each content information data with the preset "charging keywords + gate name + geographical location" to obtain the confidence level of each content information data. Finally, the initial payment application corresponding to the highest confidence value can be determined as the target charging application.

[0124] In this embodiment, by pre-setting charging keywords, the gate name of the charging station, and the geographical location, the confidence level of the content information data of the application pages of multiple initial charging applications associated with the charging station is obtained. Then, the process of determining the most suitable target charging application based on the ranking of confidence levels helps to improve the accuracy of the determined target charging application and avoid situations where payment for charging fees cannot be made or payment errors occur.

[0125] In summary, the refueling payment method provided in this application, in a specific embodiment, is equivalent to providing a refueling payment function for vehicles. This function aims to enable contactless payment / in-vehicle QR code payment after the vehicle completes refueling, avoiding the need for scanning QR codes using mobile devices. Relevant preconditions may include: the vehicle being located at the gas station's POI (Point of Interest); the vehicle detecting an open fuel tank cap via a whole-vehicle signal; the vehicle detecting a change in fuel level via a fuel level sensor; and the vehicle detecting a closed fuel tank cap via a whole-vehicle signal.

[0126] The execution steps for the refueling payment function may include: A large-scale model attempts to search for mini-programs using both the gas station's POI and its geographic location; capturing screenshots of the top-ranked mini-programs; performing OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on the mini-program pages to extract key information elements; using the large-scale model to infer and determine the key information elements (such as the names of major energy companies, geographic location names, and keywords like "refueling," "energy," "petrochemical," and "oil") on each mini-program page, confirming the confidence level of each mini-program's applicability to the scenario. Then, for mini-programs meeting the confidence level criteria, a seamless payment process—the payment processing agent—is initiated. If the large-scale model fails to pay, a prompt is made via the vehicle's external speaker / external interactive screen, guiding the refueling attendant to place the QR code in front of the vehicle's external camera. With the QR code in front of the external camera, the camera initiates scanning, reads the code, and performs a verification process.

[0127] In the QR code scanning process, one optional implementation is as follows: A large model is used to infer and determine the key information elements (such as the names of major energy companies, geographical locations, and keywords like "refueling," "energy," "petrochemicals," and "oil") of the mini-program page identified by the QR code scan, assessing the confidence level of the mini-program's applicability to the scenario. For mini-programs meeting the confidence level, a seamless payment-payment agent step is performed. If the large model payment fails, the payment code of the currently bound payment terminal is invoked, and the payment code is displayed on the vehicle's external display screen, facilitating the scanning process. If the scanned QR code mini-program does not meet the confidence level (this confidence level is lenient; personal payment codes can also pass the confidence authentication, only invalid QR codes and non-payment-related QR code links are removed), the vehicle's infotainment system informs the gas station attendant via external voice prompts, "Please show the correct QR code." Scanning stops when the user leaves the gas station POI or the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km / h.

[0128] Regarding the refueling payment function, this application also provides an optional execution flowchart, such as... Figure 4As shown, the process includes: determining "user has driven to POI" based on "geographical location data" and determining "fuel tank cap open," "fuel level change," and "fuel tank cap closed" based on "vehicle signals." Then, it can execute "large model search for mini-programs," followed by "extraction of key fields from mini-programs," "confidence ranking," and "confirmation of the mini-program with the highest confidence." Afterward, it can determine "whether payment processing can be performed" based on the "payment processing agent." If the result is "yes," the process ends. If the result is "no," it executes "external interaction prompts and guidance," "camera OCR scanning," and then determines "whether the exit conditions are met." If the result is "yes," the process ends. The process ends. If the result is "No", the steps of "launching the mini-program (processed inside the cockpit, not displayed)" and "extracting key fields of the mini-program" are executed. Then, the "key fields of the mini-program" are compared based on "energy company name / geographical location / refueling keywords". Then, "large model inference judgment" is performed. If the result is "Yes", the step of "whether the mini-program meets the confidence requirements" is further judged. If the result is "Yes", the steps of "scanning code display" and "scanning code process" are executed and the process ends. If the result is "No", the process returns to the step of "camera OCR scanning". The prerequisite for "camera OCR scanning" is that "the user actively enables the scanning function".

[0129] A specific implementation is as follows: When a user enters a POI (Point of Interest) at a gas station and refuels, the vehicle's infotainment system searches for corresponding mini-programs using keywords such as "XXX" and "XXX". On the display page, the system compares the displayed elements to select the mini-program that best meets the confidence requirements for payment. If no mini-program meets the minimum confidence requirement, the system prompts the gas station attendant to display the payment code and uses the vehicle's camera to scan the surrounding area. The scanned QR codes are first assessed for confidence within the vehicle's infotainment system; those meeting the confidence criteria are scanned and displayed. Those not meeting the criteria are communicated to the attendant via an external interactive device. Scanning continues until a termination condition is met; for example, scanning stops when the user drives away from the gas station POI or the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km / h.

[0130] In addition, an alternative embodiment is provided in which, after the cockpit controller scans the payment QR code displayed in the current vehicle's camera field of view, it may include: sending the payment QR code to the current vehicle's in-vehicle display screen, so as to realize in-vehicle payment for refueling fees through the payment QR code displayed on the in-vehicle display screen; specifically, it will prompt the in-vehicle user to complete the payment for refueling fees by scanning the payment QR code displayed on the in-vehicle display screen.

[0131] In addition, an alternative embodiment is provided in which, if the cockpit controller detects that the quick payment for the refueling fee has failed, it can further obtain the payment QR code of the current vehicle used to pay the fee; send the payment QR code to the external display screen of the current vehicle, so as to realize the in-vehicle payment for the refueling fee through the payment QR code displayed on the external display screen; specifically, it will prompt the refueling staff outside the vehicle to scan the payment QR code displayed on the external display screen to collect the refueling fee.

[0132] In addition, an alternative embodiment is provided in which the cockpit controller sends the payment QR code to the vehicle's in-vehicle display screen, including: obtaining the payment link data of the payment QR code; regenerating a new payment QR code adapted to the vehicle's in-vehicle display screen based on the payment link data; and sending the new payment QR code to the vehicle's in-vehicle display screen; which helps to improve the aesthetics and clarity of the QR code displayed on the in-vehicle display screen.

[0133] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above may include multiple steps or multiple stages.
