Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to charging reminder methods, controllers, vehicles, and storage media. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing prevalence of mobile operations and outdoor power consumption scenarios, new energy vehicles have become an important mobile energy supply platform. In scenarios such as field exploration, agricultural plant protection, and outdoor recreation, the batteries of various electrical equipment (such as drone batteries and batteries for outdoor work tools) all rely on new energy vehicles for power replenishment.

[0003] However, during the battery recharging process, users need to repeatedly approach the charging device and observe the indicator lights on the device to check the battery's charging status, which is cumbersome and time-consuming.

[0004] There is currently no effective solution to the problem that users need to repeatedly approach the charging device to check the battery's charging status in related technologies, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This embodiment provides a charging reminder method, controller, vehicle, and storage medium to proactively remind users of the charging status of external devices' batteries, enabling users to conveniently obtain battery charging status information.

[0006] Firstly, this embodiment provides a charging reminder method, which is applied to a vehicle; the charging reminder method includes:

[0007] During the process of the vehicle charging the battery of the external device through the discharge interface, the real-time charging status of the battery to be charged is obtained.

[0008] Determine whether there is a user inside the vehicle and obtain the determination result;

[0009] Based on the judgment result and the real-time charging status, the target interactive output module and the target interactive reminder information to be output by the target interactive output module are determined.

[0010] The target interaction output module is controlled to output the target interaction reminder information to show the user the real-time charging status.

[0011] Secondly, this embodiment provides a controller, including:

[0012] The acquisition module is used to acquire the real-time charging status of the battery to be charged during the process of the vehicle charging the battery of the external device through the discharge interface.

[0013] The judgment module is used to determine whether there is a user inside the vehicle and obtain a judgment result;

[0014] The decision module is used to determine the target interaction output module and the target interaction reminder information to be output by the target interaction output module based on the judgment result and the real-time charging status.

[0015] The control module is used to control the target interaction output module to output the target interaction reminder information to show the user the real-time charging status.

[0016] Thirdly, this embodiment provides a vehicle that includes a controller as described in the second aspect.

[0017] Fourthly, this embodiment provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the charging reminder method described in the first aspect above.

[0018] Compared with related technologies, the charging reminder method, controller, vehicle, and storage medium provided in this embodiment acquire the real-time charging status of the battery to be charged during the process of charging the battery of an external device through the vehicle's discharge interface. They determine whether a user is present in the vehicle, obtain the determination result, and then, based on the determination result and the real-time charging status, determine the target interactive output module and the target interactive reminder information to be output by the target interactive output module. They then control the target interactive output module to output the target interactive reminder information to inform the user of the real-time charging status. In this way, by combining the determination result of whether a user is present in the vehicle with the real-time charging status of the battery to be charged, the appropriate target interactive output module and corresponding reminder information are dynamically matched and determined, achieving scenario-based adaptation of charging reminders. This ensures that charging status reminders are effectively output whether the user is in the vehicle or not, and proactively reminds the user of the external device's battery charging status without requiring the user to actively query, allowing the user to conveniently obtain the battery charging status.

[0029] This application provides a charging reminder method, controller, vehicle, and storage medium to proactively remind users of the charging status of external devices' batteries, enabling users to conveniently obtain battery charging status information.

[0030] The following are several specific embodiments to illustrate the technical solutions of this application in detail. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0031] This embodiment provides a charging reminder method, which is applied to vehicles with onboard external discharge function, including but not limited to pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a charging reminder method according to this embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0032] Step S101: During the process of the vehicle charging the battery of the external device through the discharge interface, the real-time charging status of the battery to be charged is obtained.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 As shown, during the external discharge and charging process of vehicle 3, the charger 2 of the external device is connected to the battery 1 to be charged, and at the same time, the charger 2 is connected to the discharge interface 33 of vehicle 3, such as the fast charging interface of vehicle 3. Vehicle 3 outputs electrical energy to the external device through the discharge interface 33 to charge the battery 1 to be charged, and obtains the real-time charging status of the battery 1 to be charged through the discharge interface 33 and the corresponding communication link.

[0034] In a specific implementation, for example, the battery to be charged 1 can transmit its real-time charging status to the charger 2 through a dedicated charging cable between the battery and the charger 2. Then, through the cable between the charger 2 and the discharge interface 33, the real-time charging status of the battery to be charged 1 can be uploaded to the communication module 31 of the vehicle 3, such as through the CAN communication matrix to the vehicle communication bus. The specific transmission method is not limited here.

[0035] It should be noted that the real-time charging status of the battery to be charged can be further transmitted to the controller 32 through the communication module 31 of the vehicle 3, including but not limited to the vehicle's domain controller (e.g., smart cockpit domain controller, body domain controller, etc.), or a separately set charging and discharging dedicated controller.

[0036] In this embodiment, the real-time charging status of the battery to be charged can be real-time charging parameters such as real-time battery percentage and remaining charging time, or it can be defined according to charging events and charging progress, without specific limitations here.

[0037] For example, charging events can be categorized into charging initiation, charging in progress, charging complete, normal charging, and charging anomaly. Furthermore, charging progress can be categorized into the initial charging stage (20% completion), the mid-term charging stage (50% completion), and the full charge completion stage (100% completion).

[0038] Step S102: Determine whether there is a user inside the vehicle and obtain the determination result.

[0039] In this step, the corresponding judgment method can be flexibly selected according to the actual configuration of the vehicle. The specific implementation includes:

[0040] (1) When the vehicle is equipped with occupancy sensors for each seat, during the judgment, the seat occupancy signal collected by the occupancy sensor of each seat in the vehicle is acquired. The seat occupancy signal is used to characterize the occupancy status of the corresponding seat. When at least one seat occupancy signal indicates that the seat is occupied, it is determined that there is a user in the vehicle; when all seat occupancy signals indicate that the seats are not occupied, it is determined that there is no user in the vehicle.

[0041] (2) When the vehicle is equipped with an Occupancy Monitoring System (OMS), the occupancy monitoring results for each seat are obtained when making a judgment. These occupancy monitoring results are used to indicate whether there is an occupant in the seat. If the occupancy monitoring results for at least one seat indicate that there is an occupant, it is determined that there is a user in the vehicle; if the occupancy monitoring results for all seats indicate that there is no occupant, it is determined that there is no user in the vehicle.

[0042] (3) When the vehicle is equipped with both a seat occupancy sensor and an occupant monitoring system, the seat occupancy signal corresponding to each seat is acquired in advance during the judgment process. When at least one seat occupancy signal indicates that a seat is occupied, the occupant monitoring result corresponding to the occupied seat is further acquired. When all seat occupancy signals indicate that the seat is not occupied, or when at least one seat occupancy signal indicates that a seat is occupied and the occupant monitoring result corresponding to each occupied seat indicates that there is no occupant, it is determined that there is no user in the vehicle; when at least one seat occupancy signal indicates that a seat is occupied and the occupant monitoring result corresponding to the occupied seat indicates that there is an occupant, it is determined that there is a user in the vehicle.

[0043] The occupancy sensor and the occupant monitoring system are both connected to the controller executing this embodiment.

[0044] It should be noted that the determination of whether a user is inside the vehicle in this step can be triggered in real time throughout the entire process of the vehicle charging the battery of the external device through the discharge interface, or it can be triggered according to changes in charging conditions, or executed according to a preset cycle, thereby adapting to the actual needs of different charging scenarios.

[0045] Based on the previous examples, when the acquired real-time charging status includes parameters such as real-time battery percentage and remaining charging time, the system can determine whether a matching target charging event or target charging progress exists based on the correspondence between different charging parameters and preset charging events or progress. If a matching target charging event or target charging progress exists, this step is triggered. This step is triggered when the acquired real-time charging status includes preset charging events such as charging start, charging in progress, charging complete, normal charging, and charging abnormality. This step is also triggered when the acquired real-time charging status includes preset charging stages such as 20% charging progress, 50% charging progress, and 100% charging progress. Furthermore, this step can also be triggered periodically according to preset time periods (e.g., every 30 seconds, every 5 minutes) throughout the entire process of vehicle external discharge and charging.

[0046] Step S103: Based on the judgment result and the real-time charging status, determine the target interactive output module and the target interactive reminder information to be output by the target interactive output module.

[0047] The interactive output modules in this embodiment include, but are not limited to, in-vehicle interactive output modules and external interactive output modules. The in-vehicle interactive output module refers to an interactive component capable of transmitting charging status reminders to users inside the vehicle, adapting to scenarios where the user is inside the vehicle; examples include in-vehicle display modules and in-vehicle voice modules. The external interactive output module is an interactive component capable of transmitting charging status reminders to users outside the vehicle, adapting to scenarios where the user is outside the vehicle; examples include the vehicle's external lighting system (including but not limited to headlights and taillights) and vehicle horn.

[0048] Optionally, in one possible implementation, the target interactive output module, determined based on the judgment result and the real-time charging status, may include:

[0049] (1) When the judgment result is that there is a user in the vehicle, the in-vehicle interaction output module corresponding to the real-time charging status is determined as the target interaction output module based on the real-time charging status and the correspondence between different charging statuses and the preset in-vehicle interaction output modules.

[0050] (2) When the judgment result is that there is no user in the vehicle, the vehicle external interaction output module corresponding to the real-time charging status is determined as the target interaction output module based on the real-time charging status and the correspondence between different charging statuses and the preset vehicle external interaction output modules.

[0051] Specifically, the correspondence between different charging states and preset in-vehicle interactive output modules is a pre-configured mapping rule, which can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

[0052] The following example, using real-time charging statuses including almost fully charged (e.g., charging progress reaches 80%), charging complete, normal charging, and charging abnormality, illustrates the specific implementation of this mapping rule.

[0053] When the determination result indicates that there is a user in the vehicle, if the real-time charging status is almost fully charged or charging normally, the vehicle display module is determined as the target interactive output module; if the real-time charging status is charging complete or charging abnormal, the in-vehicle voice module is determined as the target interactive output module.

[0054] When the determination result is that there is no user in the vehicle, if the real-time charging status is almost fully charged, charging normally, or charging completed, the external lighting system is identified as the target interactive output module; if the real-time charging status is abnormal, the vehicle horn is identified as the target interactive output module.

[0055] It should be noted that the above correspondence between different charging states and interactive output modules is merely an illustrative example of this embodiment and does not constitute a limitation on this technical solution. For example, in an in-vehicle scenario, the vehicle display module and the in-vehicle voice module can be used together to provide dual visual and voice reminders for critical charging states (such as charging abnormalities). In an external scenario, an external lighting system and a vehicle horn can be used to output reminders in coordination. Furthermore, the frequency and intensity of reminder outputs can be dynamically adjusted according to the urgency of the reminders corresponding to different charging states (such as the urgency of a charging abnormality reminder being higher than that of a charging complete reminder), which will not be elaborated further here.

[0056] Understandably, once the target interaction output module is determined based on the judgment result and real-time charging status, the specific form of the target interaction reminder information to be output by the target interaction output module can be determined simultaneously. For example, when the target interaction output module is an in-vehicle voice module, the specific form of the target interaction reminder information to be output is a voice prompt; when the target interaction output module is a vehicle display module, the specific form of the target interaction reminder information to be output is an interface graphic prompt (including but not limited to text prompts, charging progress bars, status icons, pop-up reminders, etc.).

[0057] The specific content of the target interaction reminder message to be output by the target interaction output module is determined by the acquired real-time charging status. For example, when the real-time charging status is "charging complete," the target interaction reminder message is a pop-up text "charging complete" if directed to a user inside the vehicle; if directed to a user outside the vehicle, the target interaction reminder message is the headlights remaining constantly on or flashing for 3-5 seconds. As another example, when the real-time charging status is "charging abnormal," the target interaction reminder message is a voice prompt "charging abnormal, please check immediately" if directed to a user inside the vehicle; if directed to a user outside the vehicle, the target interaction reminder message is a horn honking for 3 seconds.

[0058] Step S104: Control the target interaction output module to output target interaction reminder information to show the user the real-time charging status.

[0059] In this step, based on the previously determined target interactive output module and the target interactive reminder information that matches the real-time charging status, a reminder output operation is performed.

[0060] For example, based on the determination of whether there is a user inside the vehicle, the target interactive output module and target interactive reminder information corresponding to different real-time charging states are as follows:

[0061] 1. When a user is present in the vehicle: (1) If the real-time charging status is normal charging, control the vehicle display module to display the battery charging progress bar; (2) If the real-time charging status is almost full, control the vehicle display module to display the battery charging progress bar, and the progress bar is displayed in a flashing manner; (3) If the real-time charging status is charging complete, control the in-vehicle voice module to broadcast the voice prompt "charging complete"; (4) If the real-time charging status is charging abnormal, control the in-vehicle voice module to broadcast the voice prompt "charging abnormal".

[0062] 2. When there is no user in the vehicle: (1) If the real-time charging status is normal charging, control the headlights and taillights to remain off, i.e., not lit by default; (2) If the real-time charging status is almost full, control only the headlights or taillights to flash individually; (3) If the real-time charging status is charging complete, control the headlights and taillights to flash synchronously; (4) If the real-time charging status is abnormal charging, control the vehicle horn to sound a warning.

[0063] It should be noted that the specific method of outputting the above-described reminder is merely an illustrative example of this embodiment and does not constitute a limitation on this technical solution. For example, parameters such as the flashing mode of the headlights, the brightness of the headlights, the horn mode, and the reminder duration can all be flexibly set according to actual needs, and will not be elaborated here.

[0064] The charging reminder method provided in this embodiment acquires the real-time charging status of the battery to be charged during the process of charging an external device's battery through a discharge interface in the vehicle. It then determines whether a user is present in the vehicle, obtains the determination result, and based on the determination result and the real-time charging status, identifies a target interactive output module and the target interactive reminder information to be output by the target interactive output module. The target interactive output module is then controlled to output the target interactive reminder information to inform the user of the real-time charging status. In this way, by combining the determination result of whether a user is present in the vehicle with the real-time charging status of the battery, a suitable target interactive output module and corresponding reminder information are dynamically matched and determined. This achieves scenario-based adaptation of charging reminders, ensuring effective output of charging status reminders whether the user is in the vehicle or not. Furthermore, it proactively reminds users of the external device's battery charging status without requiring the user to actively query, allowing users to conveniently obtain battery charging status information.

[0065] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of another charging reminder method in this embodiment. Please refer to... Figure 3 The method provided in this embodiment, based on the above embodiments, determines the target interactive output module according to the judgment result and the real-time charging status, and may include the following steps:

[0066] Step S301: If the determination result is that there is a user in the vehicle, determine whether the user in the vehicle is the target user.

[0067] In specific implementation, for example, when the determination result is that there is a user in the vehicle, the facial recognition result obtained by the vehicle's occupant monitoring system through facial recognition of each seat area image collected by it is used to indicate whether the user in the vehicle is the target user.

[0068] For example, when the determination is that a user is inside the vehicle, the system acquires cabin images captured by the vehicle's cameras, performs facial recognition on the cabin images to obtain facial features, and matches the identified facial features with pre-stored facial features of the target user. If the match is successful, the user inside the vehicle is determined to be the target user; if the match fails, the user inside the vehicle is determined not to be the target user.

[0069] Step S302: When the user inside the vehicle is the target user, the in-vehicle interaction output module corresponding to the real-time charging status is determined as the target interaction output module based on the real-time charging status and the correspondence between different charging statuses and preset in-vehicle interaction output modules.

[0070] It should be noted that when the user inside the vehicle is the target user, the implementation logic for determining the target interactive output module corresponding to the real-time charging status can refer to the implementation method used when there is a user inside the vehicle, which will not be repeated here. The specific implementation process of this embodiment can be the same as or different from the specific implementation process when there is a user inside the vehicle. For example, different in-vehicle interactive output modules can be set for the same charging status.

[0071] Step S303: When the judgment result is that there is no user in the vehicle, or when the user in the vehicle is not the target user, determine whether there is a target user within the preset range of the vehicle, obtain the first judgment result, and determine the target interactive output module based on the real-time charging status and the first judgment result.

[0072] In this step, if the determination result is that there is no user in the vehicle, or the user in the vehicle is not the target user, then it is further determined whether there is a target user within the vehicle's preset range. This target user is usually a designated person who needs to receive real-time charging status reminders, including but not limited to drone pilots, outdoor workers, vehicle maintenance personnel, and other relevant personnel who need to pay attention to the charging status.

[0073] In practice, for example, the vehicle's Bluetooth module scans external Bluetooth device identifiers, and then matches these identifiers with pre-stored target user Bluetooth device identifiers. If a matching Bluetooth device is detected within a preset range of the vehicle, it is determined that a target user exists within that range; otherwise, it is determined that no target user exists within that range.

[0074] Optionally, in another possible implementation, determining whether a target user exists within a preset range of the vehicle to obtain a first determination result may include:

[0075] (1) Obtain target environment images collected by the vehicle-mounted camera within a preset range of the vehicle.

[0076] (2) Identify whether the target environment image contains a face, and when the target environment image contains a face, identify the face features in the target environment image and determine whether the identified face features match the pre-stored target user face features.

[0077] (3) When the target environment image contains a face and the identified face features match the pre-stored face features of the target user, it is determined that there is a target user within the preset range of the vehicle.

[0078] (4) When the target environment image does not contain a face, or when the identified face features do not match the pre-stored face features of the target user, determine that there is no target user within the preset range of the vehicle.

[0079] In practice, the vehicle-mounted camera is controlled to capture real-time images of the environment within a preset range of the vehicle to obtain images of the target environment. A face detection model (such as the YOLO series detection model) is used to analyze the target environment image to identify whether it contains a face. If a face is found, a face recognition model (such as the FaceNet model) is used to analyze the image to identify facial features and determine whether the identified facial features match pre-stored facial features of the target user. This matching process can employ algorithms such as cosine similarity and Euclidean distance.

[0080] If the target environment image does not contain a face, or the identified face features do not match the pre-stored target user face features, then it is determined that there is no target user within the vehicle's preset range; if the target environment image contains a face, and the identified face features match the pre-stored target user face features, then it is determined that there is a target user within the vehicle's preset range.

[0081] It should be noted that the preset range of the vehicle is an area defined centered on the vehicle, used to determine whether the target user is in an area where they can effectively perceive the vehicle's interactive reminder information. The specific value of this preset range can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

[0082] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, determining the target interactive output module based on the real-time charging status and the first judgment result may include:

[0083] (1) When the first judgment result is that there is a target user within the preset range of the vehicle, the vehicle external interaction output module corresponding to the real-time charging status is determined as the target interaction output module based on the real-time charging status and the correspondence between different charging statuses and preset vehicle external interaction output modules.

[0084] (2) When the first judgment result is that there is no target user within the preset range of the vehicle, the preset remote interaction output module is determined as the target interaction output module.

[0085] It should be noted that, when a target user is present within the vehicle's preset range, the implementation logic for determining the target interactive output module corresponding to the real-time charging status can refer to the implementation method used when no user is present in the vehicle, and will not be repeated here. The specific implementation process of this embodiment can be the same as or different from the specific implementation process when no user is present in the vehicle. For example, different external interactive output modules can be set for the same charging status.

[0086] Furthermore, if the first determination result indicates that there is no target user within the vehicle's preset range, then the preset remote interaction output module is determined as the target interaction output module. The remote interaction output module refers to an interaction output unit used to push charging status information to the target user remotely when the target user is outside the vehicle's preset sensing range and cannot receive reminders through the in-vehicle / out-of-vehicle interaction module. This includes, but is not limited to, mobile terminal reminder modules, smart wearable device reminder modules, and remote operation / maintenance terminal reminder modules.

[0087] For example, if the target user is a drone pilot who has been pre-authorized and bound to the vehicle system, and the first judgment result is that there is no drone pilot within the preset range of the vehicle, a charging abnormality alarm can be pushed to the drone pilot's pre-bound mobile phone, vibration and pop-up reminders can be sent to the drone pilot's smartwatch, smart bracelet, smart glasses and other wearable devices, or charging fault information can be synchronized to the remote operation and maintenance terminal.

[0088] The method provided in this embodiment further determines whether the user in the vehicle is the target user based on the presence of a user in the vehicle, and determines whether the target user exists within a preset range of the vehicle. It accurately obtains the position status of the target user relative to the vehicle, and then combines the real-time charging status to match the corresponding target interactive output module. This achieves precise adaptation of the interactive output module, ensuring that the charging status reminder method can fit the actual usage scenario, thereby ensuring that the target user can stably obtain the real-time charging status of the battery.

[0089] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of another charging reminder method in this embodiment. Please refer to... Figure 4 The method provided in this embodiment, based on the above embodiments, determines the target interactive output module according to the judgment result and the real-time charging status, and may include the following steps:

[0090] Step S401: When the determination result is that there is no user in the vehicle and the real-time charging status is abnormal, continuously monitor whether the real-time charging status within a preset time period is abnormal.

[0091] In this embodiment, charging abnormality includes abnormal charging states such as charging interruption and charging failure.

[0092] It should be noted that the preset duration starts from the moment when no user is detected in the vehicle and the real-time charging status is deemed abnormal. This is used to accurately determine whether a persistent fault has occurred during the battery charging process, and also to reflect whether the battery charging abnormality has been addressed in a timely manner. Furthermore, the specific value of the preset duration can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs; for example, it can be set to 1 minute.

[0093] Step S402: If the real-time charging status is abnormal within a preset time period, determine whether there is a target user within the preset range of the vehicle, and obtain a second judgment result.

[0094] Based on the previous example, when all real-time charging statuses detected within one minute are abnormal, it is determined whether a target user exists within the vehicle's preset range.

[0095] In this step, the specific implementation of determining whether a target user exists within the vehicle's preset range can be referred to any of the aforementioned related implementation methods, and will not be repeated here.

[0096] Step S403: When the second judgment result indicates that there is a target user within the preset range of the vehicle, the external interaction output module corresponding to the charging abnormality is determined as the target interaction output module based on the correspondence between different charging states and preset external interaction output modules.

[0097] In practice, the preset external interaction output modules include, but are not limited to, the vehicle's external lighting system (e.g., headlights, taillights), vehicle horn, etc.

[0098] For example, the external interaction output module corresponding to a charging malfunction is the external lighting system. As another example, the external interaction output modules corresponding to a charging malfunction are the external lighting system and the vehicle horn.

[0099] Step S404: When the second judgment result is that there is no target user within the preset range of the vehicle, the preset remote interaction output module is determined as the target interaction output module.

[0100] In this embodiment, the remote interactive output module includes, but is not limited to, a mobile terminal reminder module, a smart wearable device reminder module, and a remote operation / maintenance terminal reminder module. Its specific implementation can be referred to the aforementioned description of the remote interactive output module, and will not be repeated here.

[0101] The method provided in this embodiment, in a scenario where there are no users in the vehicle and continuous abnormal charging of the battery is detected, determines whether there is a target user within a preset range of the vehicle, and accurately adapts the corresponding target interaction output module according to the determination result. This ensures that the target user can still receive charging abnormality information in a timely manner when they are away from the vehicle, avoiding long-term neglect of charging abnormalities and thus effectively improving the safety of the battery charging process.

[0102] The present embodiment will now be described and illustrated through preferred embodiments.

[0103] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of the charging reminder method according to a preferred embodiment, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the charging reminder method includes the following steps:

[0104] Step S501: During the process of the vehicle charging the battery of the external device through the discharge interface, the real-time charging status of the battery to be charged is obtained.

[0105] Step S502: Obtain the occupant monitoring results of the vehicle's occupant monitoring system for each seat, and determine whether a user is present in the vehicle based on the occupant monitoring results for each seat. If the occupant monitoring results for at least one seat indicate the presence of an occupant, it is determined that a user is present in the vehicle; if the occupant monitoring results for all seats indicate the absence of an occupant, it is determined that no user is present in the vehicle.

[0106] Step S503: When there is a user in the vehicle, determine whether the user in the vehicle is the target user.

[0107] Step S504: When the user inside the vehicle is the target user, the in-vehicle interaction output module corresponding to the real-time charging status is determined as the target interaction output module based on the real-time charging status and the correspondence between different charging statuses and preset in-vehicle interaction output modules.

[0108] Step S505: If the determination result is that there is no user in the vehicle, or if the user in the vehicle is not the target user, determine whether there is a target user within the preset range of the vehicle.

[0109] Step S506: When a target user exists within the preset range of the vehicle, the external interaction output module corresponding to the real-time charging status is determined as the target interaction output module based on the real-time charging status and the correspondence between different charging statuses and preset external interaction output modules.

[0110] Step S507: When there is no target user within the preset range of the vehicle, the preset remote interaction output module is determined as the target interaction output module.
