Description

Rental status display method, device and vehicle

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on July 14, 2023, with application number 2023108681429 and application name “Method, device and vehicle for displaying rental status”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of vehicle networking technology, and in particular to a rental status display method, device, and vehicle. Background Art

[0003] When renting a shared vehicle, users need to check the vehicle's rental status (rented or not). Vehicle managers also need to check the vehicle's status when dispatching vehicles.

[0004] In related technologies, vehicles typically display a QR code with vehicle information. Users or vehicle managers use a mobile app to scan the QR code on the vehicle to determine its rental status. When a user needs to rent a vehicle, if they scan the code and confirm that the vehicle is already rented, they must then scan the QR code on another vehicle, and so on. This may require multiple scans before a user can find an unrented vehicle. This demonstrates the low efficiency of determining a vehicle's rental status.

[0072] In order to facilitate the understanding of this application, the scenario to which this application is applicable is first described with reference to FIG1 .

[0073] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario provided by an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 1, a plurality of shared vehicles are parked in a parking lot, some of which may have been rented or not.

[0074] For example, as shown in Figure 1, a user needs to rent a car and can view the rental status of the vehicles. Cars 1, 2, and 3 are all in the rented state. Car 4 is in the unrented state. After the user successfully applies to rent car 4, the status of car 4 switches from unrented to rented.

[0075] For ease of understanding, the structure of the vehicle shown in the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B .

[0076] FIG2A is a schematic diagram of a vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG2A , the vehicle includes a screen power supply device (not shown) and a display device, and the display device is disposed outside the vehicle. The screen power supply device can supply power to the display device. The display device can be disposed on the top of the vehicle, the side of the vehicle, etc. In actual application, the display content in the display device can be controlled according to the rental status of the vehicle, so that the user can determine the rental status of the vehicle based on the display content in the display device.

[0077] FIG2B is a schematic diagram of a vehicle architecture provided by an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG2B , the vehicle architecture includes a vehicle controller, a display device, and a communication component. The vehicle controller is connected to the display device and the communication component, respectively.

[0078] The vehicle controller can communicate with other devices (e.g., a server) via a communication component. The communication component can be a TCAM. When the communication component is a TCAM, the vehicle controller can be connected to the communication vehicle controller via a controller area network (CAN) bus.

[0079] The vehicle controller may also be referred to as a host. For example, the vehicle controller may be an in-vehicle infotainment head unit (IHU) or a desktop head unit (DHU). The vehicle controller may communicate with a display device via a Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL). The display device may be an EID.

[0080] In the related art, users need to scan the QR code on the vehicle through a mobile terminal to determine the rental status of the vehicle, which is inefficient in determining the rental status of the vehicle.

[0081] In this application, a display device is provided on the outside of the vehicle. When the vehicle is in a leased state, the display device is off. When the vehicle is not leased, the display device displays the vehicle identification code. In this way, the user can determine the vehicle's lease status based on the information displayed on the display device, thereby improving the efficiency of determining the vehicle's lease status. The display device can be powered by a separate screen power supply device. In this way, after the vehicle is turned off, the vehicle's lease status can still be displayed on the display device. Since the screen power supply device is independently provided, it is prevented from affecting other components of the vehicle.

[0082] The technical solutions shown in this application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar contents will not be repeated in different embodiments.

[0083] FIG3 is a flow chart of a method for displaying a lease status according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG3 , the method may include:

[0084] S301. Obtain the rental status of the vehicle.

[0085] The executing entity of the embodiment of the present application may be a vehicle.

[0086] The lease status is either leased or unleased.

[0087] When the vehicle is in motion, it is typically in a leased state. In this case, the display device can be turned off. When the vehicle is parked (stationary), the state of the display device (off or on) and the display content of the display device need to be determined based on the vehicle's lease status. That is, the solution shown in the embodiment of the present application can be executed when the vehicle switches from a driving state to a parked state, or while the vehicle is in a parked state.

[0088] S302: Determine whether the lease status is already leased.

[0089] S303: If the lease status is the leased status, control the screen power supply device to stop supplying power to the display device, so that the display device turns off the screen.

[0090] The screen power supply is a battery device that provides power to the display device. This power supply can independently power the display device. This allows the display device to display data even after the vehicle's ignition is turned off. Furthermore, since the power supply independently powers the display device, it does not affect other components in the vehicle after the ignition is turned off.

[0091] The structure of the display device will be described below with reference to FIG. 4 .

[0092] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the display device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 4, the display device may include: a power interface, a display controller, a storage module, a communication module, a display module and a backlight module. Among them, the display device can be connected to the screen power supply device through the power interface. The display controller can be a microcomputer, a chip, an MCU (Microcontroller Unit; micro control unit), etc. The storage module can be used to store the display information of the vehicle. For example, Flash. The communication module can be used to process data interaction within the display device, such as a serializer, a deserializer, etc. The display module can be used to display the display information of the vehicle. For example, TFT (Thin Film Transistor). The backlight module can be used to control the visual effects of the display module, such as the backlight for TFT.

[0093] By controlling the screen power supply device to stop supplying power to the display device, the display device can be quickly turned off.

[0094] S304: If the rental status is the unrented status, control the screen power supply device to supply power to the display device, obtain an identification code corresponding to the vehicle, and display the identification code on the display device.

[0095] A vehicle identification code can be used to uniquely identify a vehicle. For example, a QR code generated based on a vehicle's factory serial number can be used to identify vehicle information such as the country of manufacture and manufacturer.

[0096] The vehicle identification code can be a QR code or a barcode. After the user scans the vehicle identification code through a mobile device, the user can obtain vehicle-related information and rental-related information, for example, rental-related information may include rental rules, rental prices, etc.

[0097] The rental status display method provided in this application obtains the rental status of a vehicle and controls the screen power supply device to power the display device according to the rental status, thereby controlling the display device to turn on and off. If the obtained rental status is "leased", the screen power supply device stops supplying power to the display device, and the display device turns off. If the obtained rental status is "unleased", the screen power supply device supplies power to the display device, and the display device displays the vehicle's corresponding identification code. This method allows users to directly observe the vehicle's rental status, improving the efficiency of determining the vehicle's rental status.

[0098] In actual application, the vehicle executes the solution shown in the embodiment of FIG3 in the following two situations:

[0099] Case 1: When the vehicle switches from the driving state to the parking state, the solution shown in the embodiment of FIG3 is executed.

[0100] Case 2: When the vehicle is in the parking state, the solution shown in the embodiment of FIG3 may be executed.

[0101] The following describes how to obtain the rental status of a vehicle in different situations.

[0102] Case 1: When the vehicle switches from the driving state to the parking state, the solution shown in the embodiment of FIG3 is executed.

[0103] In this case, you can obtain the lease status in the following three ways:

[0104] Method 1: Request the server to obtain the lease status.

[0105] Among them, the rental status of the vehicle is saved in the server.

[0106] Optionally, the vehicle may also include a communication component and a vehicle controller. The vehicle controller may be used to generate a status acquisition request. The communication component may be used to send a status acquisition request to a server and also to receive the lease status from the server. For example, a TCAM (Telematics & Connectivity Antenna Module) may be used.

[0107] The rental status can be requested from the server in the following manner: a vehicle controller generates a status acquisition request including a vehicle identifier; a communication component sends the status acquisition request to the server; and the communication component receives the rental status sent by the server.

[0108] In this way, since the latest rental status is stored in the server, the accurate rental status of the vehicle can be quickly obtained through this method.

[0109] Method 2: Get the rental status in the vehicle's local preset storage space.

[0110] Among them, the preset storage space is used to store the current rental status of the vehicle.

[0111] In this way, the server can send the latest rental status to the vehicle when the rental status of the vehicle changes. After receiving the latest rental status, the vehicle can store the latest rental status in the local preset storage space, so that the latest rental status is stored in the local preset storage space of the vehicle.

[0112] When the vehicle needs to obtain the rental status, it can directly obtain it from the vehicle's local preset storage space, which makes obtaining the rental status faster.

[0113] Method 3: Obtain at least one piece of rental information of the vehicle, and obtain the rental status based on the at least one piece of rental information.

[0114] Optionally, the lease period is determined based on the lease information of the most recent period; if the lease period includes the current moment, the lease status is determined to be leased; if the lease period does not include the current moment, the lease status is determined to be unleased.

[0115] For example, the lease information may be as shown in Table 1, where the lease information includes a lease number and a lease period.

[0116] Table 1

[0117] Please refer to Table 1. The most recent rental information is the rental period of rental number 4 from 8:00 on May 20, 2023 to 8:00 on May 28, 2023. Assuming that the current time is 12:00 on May 21, 2023, it can be determined that the rental period includes the current time, and the rental status of the vehicle can be determined to be rented.

[0118] Case 2: When the vehicle is in the parking state, the solution shown in the embodiment of FIG. 2 may be executed.

[0119] In this case, you can obtain the lease status in the following two ways:

[0120] Method 1: Receive the lease status change notification sent by the server through the communication component, and obtain the lease status based on the lease status change notification.

[0121] Among them, the lease status change notification includes the lease status.

[0122] In this approach, the server can determine the vehicle's rental status in real time. When the vehicle's rental status changes, the server sends a rental status change notification to the vehicle. The vehicle only obtains the latest rental status after receiving the rental status change notification. This eliminates the need for the vehicle to constantly or periodically determine its rental status, saving energy.

[0123] Method 2: The vehicle controller processes the vehicle's rental information to determine the time when the rental status changes, and obtains the rental status at the time of the rental change.

[0124] The lease information may include the lease period.

[0125] By processing the rental period through the vehicle controller, it can be determined that at the start time of the rental period, the rental status of the vehicle changes from the unrented state to the rented state, and it can also be determined that at the end time of the rental period, the rental status of the vehicle changes from the rented state to the unrented state.

[0126] For example, the lease information may be as shown in Table 2.

[0127] Table 2

[0128] Please refer to Table 1. The rental period includes the period from 12:00 on May 15, 2023 to 8:00 on May 18, 2023. The vehicle controller can determine based on the rental information that at 12:00 on May 15, 2023, the vehicle will change from the unleased state to the leased state, and will continue until 8:00 on May 18, 2023, when the vehicle changes from the leased state to the unleased state.

[0129] In this implementation, by predetermining the lease change time, the vehicle obtains the lease status at the lease change time, so that the vehicle does not need to determine the lease status of the vehicle in real time or periodically, saving the vehicle's power consumption.

[0130] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the method for displaying the rental status is described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiment of FIG. 5 .

[0131] FIG5 is a flow chart of another method for displaying the lease status provided in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG5 , the method may include:

[0132] S501: Acquire the rental status of the vehicle.

[0133] The lease status is either leased or unleased.

[0134] S502: Determine whether the lease status is already leased.

[0135] If yes, execute S503

[0136] If not, execute S504.

[0137] S503: Control the screen power supply device to stop supplying power to the display device, so that the display device turns off the screen.

[0138] S504: Obtain the current location and current time of the vehicle.

[0139] The current position of the vehicle can be obtained by the following feasible implementation method: the current position of the vehicle is obtained by an automatic positioning device of the vehicle. For example, the automatic positioning device can be a GPS (Global Positioning System) device.

[0140] S505: Determine whether the current location is within a preset area, or whether the current time is within a preset time period.

[0141] If so, execute S506.

[0142] If not, execute S503.

[0143] The preset area can be a busy area, such as a city center, a shared car parking lot, etc.

[0144] The preset time period may be a working period, for example, daytime, rush hour, etc.

[0145] S506 , controlling the screen power supply device to supply power to the display device, obtaining an identification code corresponding to the vehicle, and displaying the identification code on the display device.

[0146] In this approach, if the current location is within a preset area or the current time is within a preset time period, the demand for the vehicle to be rented is generally high. In this case, the screen power supply device is controlled to supply power to the display device so that the display device displays an identification code, making the vehicle available for rental. If the current location is not within the preset area or the current time is not within the preset time period, the demand for the vehicle to be rented is generally low. In this case, the screen power supply device is controlled to stop supplying power to the display device, thereby saving power consumption of the vehicle.

[0147] During the process of controlling the screen power supply device to supply power to the display device, the remaining power of the screen power supply device can be obtained; if the remaining power is less than or equal to the minimum threshold, the high-voltage power supply device is controlled to charge the screen power supply device until the remaining power is greater than or equal to the maximum threshold, and the high-voltage power supply device is controlled to stop charging the screen power supply device.

[0148] For example, the lowest threshold value may be 20% of the total power of the screen power supply device, and the highest threshold value may be 100% of the total power of the screen power supply device.

[0149] The high-voltage power supply device is installed in the vehicle. When the remaining power of the screen power supply device is low, the high-voltage power supply device can be controlled to charge the screen power supply device to avoid the problem that the screen power supply device cannot supply power to the display device due to too low power.

[0150] In the embodiment shown in Figure 5, when the vehicle is not rented, the screen power supply device is controlled to supply power to the display device only when the vehicle is in a preset area or within a preset time period, so that the display device displays an identification code, thereby making the vehicle available for rent. When the vehicle is not in the preset area and is not within the preset time period, the screen power supply device can be controlled to stop supplying power to the display device, thereby saving vehicle power consumption. Furthermore, the screen power supply device can be charged by the high-voltage power supply device, ensuring that the screen power supply device continuously has sufficient power.

[0151] 6 , the method for displaying the lease status shown in the above method embodiment will be described in detail through a specific example.

[0152] Figure 6 illustrates an example method for displaying rental status, as provided in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 6 , the cloud server stores the vehicle's rental information. The vehicle can request the cloud server for this information. The vehicle is also equipped with a display. When the vehicle is not rented, the display displays the vehicle's QR code. When the vehicle is rented, the display goes dark. The display device can be mounted on the exterior of the vehicle, below the left headlight.

[0153] Please refer to Figure 6. Assume that the rental status of vehicles 1-5 has been obtained. Among them, the rental status of vehicles 1, 3, and 5 is not rented, and the display devices installed in vehicles 1, 3, and 5 can display the vehicle's QR code. Among them, the rental status of vehicles 2 and 4 is rented, and the display devices of vehicles 2 and 4 can be in the off state. When renting a vehicle, the user can directly check whether the display device displays the vehicle's QR code. If the QR code is displayed, it can be determined that the vehicle is not rented, which improves the user's efficiency in determining the vehicle's rental status and thus improves the user's efficiency in renting vehicles.
