[0057] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0058] As described in the background section, current vehicles are typically equipped with communication functions. However, when communication with relevant personnel is required, it must be done manually by the driver. In certain emergency situations, the driver may not be able to manually establish communication, which can lead to a lack of timeliness in communication and potentially cause accidents.

[0059] For example, off-roading in uninhabited areas is a thrilling and challenging sport, but it also carries inherent risks. Therefore, it is particularly important for off-road vehicles in uninhabited areas to proactively transmit location and other information based on user-defined routes and abnormal conditions. Especially when users deviate from their planned route for extended periods, or encounter extreme environments such as high temperatures, extreme cold, or high altitudes, and the occupants lose their ability to move independently, the ability to automatically send a distress signal via satellite communication would provide an extra layer of protection for the lives of those inside the off-road vehicle. However, vehicles equipped with satellite communication require the owner to manually edit messages to contact teammates or family, and cannot proactively report safety upon arrival at the designated location, provide alerts for prolonged deviations from the route, or trigger alarms when occupants exhibit abnormal vital signs.

[0060] This application provides a communication method, an electronic device, a storage medium, a program product, and a vehicle.

[0061] The method provided in this application can be applied to vehicles, such as gasoline vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, or new energy vehicles, etc. This disclosure does not specifically limit the application in this regard.

[0062] The following is a detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments. Although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than that shown in the drawings.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of the first embodiment of the method provided in this application.

[0064] The method includes:

[0065] Step 101: If a preset itinerary is configured, report preset information based on the vehicle's location information and preset itinerary points and / or preset time information in the preset itinerary, wherein the preset itinerary includes at least one preset time information and its corresponding preset itinerary point.

[0066] In this step, before the vehicle begins its journey, the driver or other passengers can open the warning application settings interface on the vehicle's infotainment system and set a preset journey. The preset journey includes at least one preset time and its corresponding preset travel point. After the journey begins, the vehicle can continuously or periodically collect its own location information. The collected location information can be the vehicle's real-time location or its location within a preset period, etc. The location information is analyzed in conjunction with the preset travel points and / or preset time information in the preset journey. If it is determined that there is a route deviation, timeout, or other issues, the preset information is reported.

[0067] In some embodiments, the vehicle collects its own location information and current time, determines the target preset travel point based on the current time and preset time information, and reports preset information if the deviation between the location information and the target preset travel point is greater than a threshold. The preset information describes the vehicle's location information and indicates that a route deviation has occurred at this time.

[0068] In some embodiments, the vehicle collects its own location information and current time, compares the location information with each preset travel point in the preset journey, and determines the nearest preset travel point as the target preset travel point. If the preset time information corresponding to the target preset travel point deviates from the current time by more than a threshold, preset information is reported. The preset information describes the vehicle's location information and indicates that the preset travel point has been reached but the time has expired.

[0069] In some embodiments, before the vehicle begins its journey, the driver or other passengers open the warning application settings interface on the vehicle's infotainment system. One or more contacts can be set within the warning application, and when multiple contacts are set, their priorities can be configured. If there is only one contact, the vehicle reports preset information to that contact. If there are multiple contacts, the vehicle reports preset information to each contact sequentially according to their priority, or vice versa, ensuring that only one contact receives the information.

[0070] In this embodiment, the vehicle, when configured with a preset itinerary, reports preset information based on the vehicle's location information and preset itinerary points and / or preset time information. The preset itinerary includes at least one preset time information and its corresponding preset itinerary point. This effectively combines the vehicle's preset itinerary for tiered reminders and alarms, reporting whether the vehicle is traveling according to the itinerary plan. It can proactively report safety upon arrival at the predetermined location and provide alerts when the vehicle deviates from the route for an extended period. In certain emergency situations, automatically establishing communication and reporting preset information ensures timely communication, safeguarding the vehicle's safe operation and the health and safety of its occupants.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic flowchart of a second embodiment of the method provided in this application. The method further includes:

[0072] Step 201: In response to the operation applied to the vehicle interface, multiple preset time information and multiple preset travel points are associated and stored to obtain preset travel information.

[0073] In this step, before the vehicle starts its journey, the driver or other passengers open the warning application settings interface on the vehicle's infotainment system and set up a preset journey in the warning application. The vehicle responds to the operation on the infotainment system interface by associating and storing multiple preset time information with multiple preset journey points to obtain preset journey information.

[0074] In some embodiments, step 201 includes:

[0075] Step 2011: In response to the route setting operation applied to the vehicle infotainment interface, determine multiple preset travel points on the route;

[0076] Step 2012: In response to the time setting operation applied to the vehicle interface, determine the preset time information corresponding to each preset travel point;

[0077] Step 2013: Associate and store multiple preset time information with multiple preset travel points.

[0078] In steps 2011 to 2013, a preset itinerary is configured during the setup preparation phase. During this phase, the vehicle's central multimedia system is powered on, and the driver or other passengers open the warning application settings interface on the vehicle's central multimedia system's in-vehicle interface for convenient settings. The vehicle responds to the route setting operation on the in-vehicle interface, determining the route and multiple preset itinerary points. These preset itinerary points can be manually entered or input via a map, and may include names and location coordinates. The driver or other passengers open the warning application settings interface on the vehicle's in-vehicle interface and perform a time setting operation. During this setting operation, corresponding preset time information can be added to the previously set preset itinerary points. This preset time information may include the expected arrival interval for each preset itinerary point and a time deviation for the expected arrival time, which indicates the possible earlier or later arrival time compared to the expected arrival interval. The vehicle responds to the time setting operation on the in-vehicle interface, determining the preset time information corresponding to each preset itinerary point. The vehicle stores each preset itinerary point and its corresponding preset time information in a corresponding association, obtaining the preset itinerary information.

[0079] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0080] Step 202: In response to the contact setting operation applied to the vehicle infotainment interface, at least one preset contact is identified;

[0081] Step 203: If multiple preset contacts are set, respond to the contact priority setting operation applied to the vehicle interface and determine the priority order of the multiple preset contacts.

[0082] In steps 202 to 203, the driver or other passengers open the warning application settings interface on the vehicle's infotainment system and set up contacts within the warning application. The vehicle responds to the contact setting operation on the infotainment system interface, determining at least one preset contact. Preset contacts may include emergency contacts (such as relatives, friends, or people of special concern) or emergency rescue organizations. Emergency rescue organizations may be those providing medical assistance, roadside assistance, or other forms of assistance. If multiple preset contacts are set, the vehicle responds to the contact priority setting operation on the infotainment system interface, determining the priority order of the multiple preset contacts to ensure that if a higher-priority preset contact cannot be reached, information can still be sent to a lower-priority preset contact.

[0083] In this embodiment, the vehicle, in response to operations applied to the vehicle's infotainment interface, associates and stores multiple preset time information entries with multiple preset travel points to obtain preset travel information. In response to a contact setting operation applied to the vehicle's infotainment interface, it identifies at least one preset contact; if multiple preset contacts are set, it responds to a contact priority setting operation applied to the vehicle's infotainment interface to determine the priority order of the multiple preset contacts. By pre-setting preset travel information and contacts, in the event of an abnormal situation, communication can be quickly and automatically established based on the preset travel information and contacts to report preset information, helping to ensure timely communication.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a third embodiment of the method provided in this application. The step of reporting preset information based on the vehicle's location information and preset travel points and / or preset time information in a preset itinerary includes:

[0085] Step 301: Obtain the current time, and determine the target preset travel point from the preset travel points based on the current time and preset time information;

[0086] Step 302: Report preset information based on the location information and the target preset travel point.

[0087] In steps 301 to 302, a target preset travel point is determined from a plurality of preset travel points based on the current time and preset time information. Based on the location information and the target estimated travel point, it can be determined whether the vehicle is traveling according to the preset travel route, and the travel status of the vehicle is obtained. Preset information is then reported. The preset information may include first preset information, which is used to indicate the travel status of the vehicle to indicate whether the vehicle has deviated from the route. If the deviation between the location information and the target preset travel point is greater than a threshold, the preset information is reported. The preset information can indicate the position of the vehicle and that a route deviation has occurred at this time. Conversely, it indicates the position of the vehicle and that a route deviation has not occurred at this time.

[0088] In some embodiments, reporting preset information based on the location information and the target preset travel point includes:

[0089] Step 3021: Determine the deviation between the location information and the target preset travel point;

[0090] In this step, the vehicle calculates the deviation between its location information and the target preset travel point. Both the location information and the target preset travel point are expressed in latitude and longitude. After the vehicle obtains the location latitude and longitude and the preset latitude and longitude corresponding to the target preset travel point, it calculates the deviation between the location latitude and longitude and the preset latitude and longitude.

[0091] Step 3022: If the deviation is greater than a preset threshold, then report preset information.

[0092] In this step, after calculating the deviation between the vehicle's location information and the target preset travel point, the vehicle compares the deviation with a preset threshold. If the deviation is greater than the preset threshold, the vehicle reports the preset information; if the deviation is not greater than the preset threshold, the vehicle continues to collect its own location information and current time.

[0093] In some embodiments, the step of reporting preset information if the deviation is greater than a preset threshold includes:

[0094] Step 30221: If the deviation is greater than a preset threshold, then send a message to a preset contact, or make a first preset number of real-time calls to the preset contact.

[0095] In this step, when the deviation between the vehicle's location information and the target preset travel point is greater than a preset threshold, the vehicle sends a message to a preset contact or makes a first preset number of real-time calls to the preset contact. In some embodiments, the message can also be sent before the real-time call or after the real-time call fails.

[0096] For example, when the deviation between the determined location information and the target preset travel point is greater than a preset threshold, the vehicle sends a message to a preset contact, stating the vehicle's location information and indicating that a route deviation has occurred; or, the vehicle initiates a real-time call with the preset contact, stating the vehicle's location information and indicating that a route deviation has occurred via voice. If the real-time call fails, a message is sent to the preset contact, stating the vehicle's location information and indicating that a route deviation has occurred. If the real-time call succeeds, the vehicle can choose, according to preset settings, to send a message to the preset contact, stating the vehicle's location information and indicating that a route deviation has occurred, or not to send a message to the preset contact.

[0097] In this embodiment, if the deviation between the vehicle's location information and the target preset travel point exceeds a preset threshold, preset information is reported, improving the timeliness of reporting information when the route deviates. Reporting preset information involves sending a message to a preset contact person, or conducting a first preset number of real-time calls to the preset contact person, ensuring that the contact person receives the information and improving the success rate of reporting.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic flowchart of a fourth embodiment of the method provided in this application. The method further includes:

[0099] Step 401: Collect vital sign information of the occupants inside the vehicle, and report preset information based on the vital sign information.

[0100] In this step, the vehicle can continuously or periodically collect vital signs information of the occupants while driving, and report preset information when the vital signs information meets the preset rescue conditions.

[0101] In some embodiments, reporting preset information based on the vital sign information includes:

[0102] Step 4011: If the vital signs information meets the preset rescue conditions, then report the preset information.

[0103] In this step, after the vehicle collects the vital signs information of the occupants, if the vital signs information meets the preset rescue conditions, the preset information is reported. The occupants can include the driver or other passengers. The vital signs information can be obtained by detecting the status of vital signs devices through the vehicle or a wearable device associated with the vehicle, and the obtained vital signs information can include pulse, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, etc.

[0104] In some embodiments, the vehicle may also obtain vital sign information of occupants through in-situ detection or liveness detection by means of seat sensors or the like.

[0105] At this time, the reported preset information may include second preset information, which is used to indicate the physical condition of the occupants in the vehicle and can explain the health status of the occupants in order to ensure the safety of the occupants.

[0106] In some embodiments, preset rescue conditions are conditions that indicate that the member corresponding to the vital signs information has a life problem, which may include serious health problems, coma, or loss of life, such as body temperature below preset body temperature, heart rate below preset heart rate, pulse rate below preset frequency, etc.

[0107] For example, when a vehicle determines that a passenger's body temperature is below normal, it determines that the preset rescue conditions are met, and at the same time obtains the vehicle's location information, and then reports preset information. The preset information states the vehicle's location information and that the body temperature of the occupants in the vehicle is below normal, and that timely rescue is required.

[0108] In some embodiments, the reported preset information includes at least one of sending information, real-time communication, and external broadcasting.

[0109] In this embodiment, the preset information can be reported through at least one of the following: sending information and / or making a real-time call and broadcasting from outside the vehicle. Sending information may include SMS messages, instant messaging, etc., while real-time calls may include telephone calls, internet calls, etc. Broadcasting from outside the vehicle involves reporting the preset information through the vehicle's external broadcasting device.

[0110] The vehicle is equipped with an external broadcasting device, which can be an external speaker, an external screen, etc. By broadcasting preset information through the external broadcasting device, preset information can be reported to people near the vehicle, thereby providing more timely assistance and rescue to the vehicle and further improving the timeliness of communication.

[0111] Understandably, reporting preset information via the vehicle's external broadcasting device can be done simultaneously with any incident or call, which can increase the probability of rescue and further improve the timeliness of communication.

[0112] In some embodiments, the step of reporting preset information if the vital signs information meets preset rescue conditions includes:

[0113] Step 40111: If the vital signs information meets the preset rescue conditions, then repeatedly execute the second preset number of real-time calls to the preset contact person and send a message after the real-time call fails, until the real-time call is successful.

[0114] In this step, if the vehicle determines that the vital signs information meets the preset rescue conditions, it will repeatedly attempt to make a second preset number of real-time calls to the preset contact person, sending a message after each failed real-time call, until the real-time call is successful. For example, if the vehicle determines that the vital signs information meets the preset rescue conditions, it will first attempt to make 10 real-time calls to the preset contact person. If all 10 real-time calls fail, it will send a message to the preset contact person and then attempt to make 10 more real-time calls, until the real-time call is successful.

[0115] In some embodiments, the step of making a second preset number of real-time calls to a preset contact and sending a message after a real-time call fails, until the real-time call succeeds, includes:

[0116] Step 401111: Based on the priority of the preset contacts, make real-time calls to each preset contact in sequence;

[0117] Step 401112: If the cumulative number of failed real-time calls reaches the second preset number, then send a message to each preset contact.

[0118] In steps 401111 to 401112, the vehicle sequentially initiates real-time calls with each preset contact according to their priority. If the cumulative number of failed real-time calls reaches a second preset number, a message is sent to each preset contact. For example, the preset contacts include Contact 1, Contact 2, and an emergency rescue organization. When the vital signs information meets the preset rescue conditions, the priority order of the preset contacts is: emergency rescue organization, Contact 1, Contact 2. The vehicle first initiates a real-time call with the emergency rescue organization. If the real-time call fails, it initiates a real-time call with Contact 1, and so on. If the cumulative number of failed real-time calls reaches 10, a message is sent to each preset contact. The message sent to the emergency rescue organization describes the vehicle's location and the vital signs of the occupants. The messages sent to Contacts 1 and 2 describe the vehicle's location, the vital signs of the occupants, and the contact information of the emergency rescue organization.

[0119] In this embodiment, the vehicle, upon determining that a passenger's vital signs meet preset rescue conditions, reports preset information, improving the timeliness of reporting information when a passenger's life is threatened. The system then continuously executes a second preset number of real-time calls to a preset contact person until the call is successful, ensuring that the contact person receives the information and improving the success rate of reporting.

[0120] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic flowchart of the fifth embodiment of the method provided in this application. The method further includes:

[0121] Step 501: Obtain the signal strength of cellular communication;

[0122] Step 502: If the signal strength is greater than a preset threshold, then report preset information based on the cellular communication;

[0123] Step 503: If the signal strength is not greater than the preset threshold, then report the preset information based on satellite communication.

[0124] In steps 501 to 503, before reporting preset information, the vehicle obtains the signal strength of cellular communication. If the signal strength is greater than a preset threshold, the preset information is reported based on cellular communication; if the signal strength is not greater than the preset threshold, the preset information is reported based on satellite communication. It is understandable that when the vehicle is driving in urban areas, on the outskirts of cities, or in rural areas, satellite communication is less real-time, more expensive, and has slightly lower call quality than cellular communication. Therefore, to save user costs and improve communication timeliness and quality, cellular communication is prioritized when available.

[0125] In this embodiment, when the signal strength of cellular communication is greater than a preset threshold, the vehicle reports preset information based on cellular communication, which can save user costs while improving communication timeliness and quality; if the signal strength is not greater than the preset threshold, the vehicle reports preset information based on satellite communication, which can ensure the success rate of preset information reporting.

[0126] In one embodiment, the preset information includes at least one of the following: information on the occupants of the vehicle, current time, current location, and instruction content.

[0127] In this embodiment, the preset information, based on actual judgment, may include at least one of the following: reporter information (such as sender, vehicle name, vehicle number), vehicle occupant information (such as the number, identity, and age of occupants), current time, current location, and instruction content (including information on travel status, physical condition, etc.). The instruction content can be determined based on the deviation between the vehicle's actual location and the target preset travel point, the vital signs information of the occupants, etc., to more accurately convey the vehicle and its occupants' status, thereby providing more accurate assistance and improving communication accuracy. For example, taking the reporting of preset information as an example of sending information, the sent content can be as follows: Figure 6 As shown.

[0128] Based on the above embodiments, to better understand, a specific application scenario is provided below for illustration. Figure 7 :

[0129] After the vehicle's central control unit is powered on, before the trip begins, the driver can open the automatic tracking and warning application to set up the trip. Multiple preset points along the route can be set manually or by selecting points on a map. The schedule for each preset point can be set manually or by selecting from the calendar, determining the estimated arrival time. Then, the tolerable time deviation for the preset arrival time can be set to provide corresponding preset time information for each preset point. Multiple preset contacts and their priority order can then be set. These preset contacts can include emergency contacts (such as family and friends) and emergency rescue organizations (such as roadside assistance). Finally, strategies for reporting preset information can be set, including at least one reporting method among sending messages (such as SMS), real-time calls (such as telephone calls), and external broadcasts. Reporting timing can also include triggering immediate, delayed, or timed transmission, and reporting channels such as cellular communication and satellite communication.

[0130] After the trip begins, the system detects trigger conditions based on information reported by the vehicle's location, time, vital signs equipment, and in-vehicle sensors. These trigger conditions may include the following:

[0131] The first condition is that the driver arrives at the scheduled destination at the expected arrival time and has no abnormal vital signs. The driver's seat sensor, liveness detection, and driver identity verification are all normal. The corresponding reporting strategy is to prioritize cellular communication over satellite communication. Preset information is reported by sending messages. If the report fails, it will be retried. The corresponding preset information is mainly: XX personnel have arrived at the XX preset destination at XX time. Please rest assured.

[0132] The second condition is that the person did not arrive at the scheduled destination at the expected arrival time, and the deviation exceeded the tolerable travel time. The corresponding reporting strategy is to prioritize cellular communication over satellite communication, and report the preset information via SMS and telephone. If the telephone call fails, the information will be reported via SMS. If the SMS report fails, it will be retried. The preset message is mainly: XX person has exceeded XX time and has not yet arrived at XX preset destination. Please note that their travel is abnormal.

[0133] The third condition is that vital signs equipment shows fatal signs. The corresponding reporting strategy is to prioritize cellular communication over satellite communication, and report preset information via SMS, telephone, and vehicle broadcast. After 10 failed telephone calls, information will be reported via SMS. This process will be repeated until a call is successful, and information will be reported via vehicle broadcast simultaneously. The preset message is mainly: "Person XX has a serious health problem. Please provide immediate assistance. The vehicle is located at XX location."

[0134] The fourth condition is that the seat sensor is in place and the liveness detection fails. The corresponding reporting strategy is to prioritize cellular communication over satellite communication and report preset information via SMS, telephone, and external broadcast. After 10 failed telephone calls, information will be reported via SMS. This process will be repeated until the call is successful. At the same time, information will be reported via external broadcast. The preset information is mainly: XX person has a serious physical problem and needs immediate rescue. The vehicle is located at XX location.

[0135] Finally, the reporting record and status of this trip are saved based on the reported information, and the process can be ended after the trip is completed.

Those skilled in the art will understand that... Figure 10 The vehicle structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the vehicle and may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0177] The touch display screen 1103 can be used to display a graphical user interface (GUI) and receive operation commands generated by the user interacting with the GUI.

The display panel can be used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user, as well as various graphical user interfaces of the vehicle. These graphical user interfaces can be composed of graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof. Optionally, the display panel can be configured using a liquid crystal display (LCD), organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or other similar technologies. The touch panel can be used to collect touch operations performed by the user on or near it (such as operations performed by the user using a finger, stylus, or any suitable object or accessory on or near the touch panel), generate corresponding operation commands, and execute the corresponding program according to the operation commands. Optionally, the touch panel may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch detection device detects the user's touch location and the signal generated by the touch operation, transmitting the signal to the touch controller. The touch controller receives touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into touch point coordinates, and sends it to the processor 1101. It can also receive and execute commands from the processor 1101. The touch panel can cover the display panel. When the touch panel detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to the processor 1101 to determine the type of touch event. Subsequently, the processor 1101 provides corresponding visual output on the display panel based on the type of touch event. In this embodiment, the touch panel and the display panel can be integrated into the touch display screen 1103 to achieve input and output functions. However, in some embodiments, the touch panel and the touch display screen 1103 can be implemented as two independent components to achieve input and output functions.
