[0020] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0021] Vibration Monitoring: This function is implemented by the vehicle's vibration monitoring system, which includes a vibration sensor and a central controller. This system accurately identifies the vehicle's status and collision warnings, and provides timely on-site information to the vehicle owner through the vehicle's gateway system. Sentry Mode is a system in which, when a vehicle is parked and is subject to a sudden collision or other intrusion, the vehicle's cameras record the scene in real time, triggering an alarm from the Sentry Mode system. The system also sends the event information to the vehicle owner, preserving relevant information for subsequent protection of the vehicle's rights.

[0022] In related technologies, after the vehicle's vibration monitoring function is added with a shooting function, if one or more cameras are woken up after abnormal vibration is detected in the vehicle, it takes more than ten seconds for the camera to be powered on and take pictures, so there is a possibility that the accurate on-site scene where the abnormal vibration exists cannot be captured; and if one or more cameras remain awake all the time, the static power consumption of the vehicle when the vibration monitoring function is turned on will increase, causing the vehicle's cruising range to drop rapidly.

[0023] Therefore, in the related technologies, while improving the intelligence level of vehicle vibration monitoring and enhancing user experience, there is also the challenge of reducing the energy consumption of vehicle vibration monitoring.

[0024] In response to the above problems, the inventors have discovered after long-term research and proposed the vibration monitoring method, device and vehicle provided in the embodiments of the present application. When the vibration monitoring function of the vehicle is turned on, if it is determined that the vehicle's cruising range is within a preset range, the vibration shooting function is turned on to monitor the vehicle vibration, thereby improving the intelligence of the vehicle vibration monitoring and reducing the power consumption of the vehicle vibration monitoring.

[0025] The following describes an application environment in which the vibration monitoring method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be used.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1, which shows a schematic diagram of an application environment that can be used for the vibration monitoring method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1, the application environment includes a vehicle 100 and an electronic device 10. The vehicle 100 may include a microcontroller unit (MCU), a gravity sensor GSensor, a central control system, a vehicle networking system TBOX, and a camera.

[0027] Among them, the vehicle 100 can be used to connect to the electronic device 10 by wire or wirelessly and exchange data; the vehicle 100 can also form a local area network with the router and the electronic device 10, and the vehicle 100 and the electronic device 10 can also be wirelessly connected based on the local area network, and the vehicle 100 and the electronic device 10 can also exchange data through the wireless connection.

[0028] Among them, the electronic device 10 may include an application APP, through which the user can set the switch of the vibration monitoring function, set the switch of the vibration shooting function, and adjust the GSensor sensitivity. For example, the user can input the intensity threshold adjustment instruction to the vehicle 100 through the electronic device 10; the electronic device 10 can also obtain the target prompt information sent by the vehicle 100 through the APP to notify the vehicle 100 that there is abnormal vibration.

[0029] Among them, MCU can be used to manage GSensor, vibration filtering and report abnormal vibration events to the central control and TBOX; GSensor can be used to capture abnormal vibration events of the vehicle 100 that exceed the sensitivity, and wake up the MCU after capturing the abnormal vibration event; after receiving the abnormal vibration event reported by the MCU, the central control can call the camera to take photos and videos, and send the vibration monitoring function, vibration shooting function and GSensor sensitivity adjustment instructions set by the user through the central control to the MCU; TBOX can receive abnormal vibration events reported by the MCU, and generate target prompt information and send it to the electronic device 10, and forward the instructions received from the user through the electronic device 10 to set the vibration monitoring function, set the vibration shooting function and adjust the GSensor sensitivity to the MCU; the camera can receive the shooting instructions sent by the central control, and respond to the shooting instructions to shoot the environment outside the vehicle, and package the shooting data and send it to the central control for storage via the on-board Ethernet, so that the user can easily retrieve the shooting data.

[0030] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2, which shows a flow chart of a vibration monitoring method provided by an embodiment of the present application. This vibration monitoring method enhances the effectiveness and accuracy of vehicle vibration monitoring by adding a shooting function to the vibration monitoring function of the vehicle; in addition, in the process of vibration monitoring the vehicle, the vibration shooting function is turned on for vibration monitoring when the vehicle's cruising range is within a preset range, which not only ensures the effectiveness and accuracy of on-site shooting of abnormal vehicle vibrations, but also avoids the large amount of power consumption of the vehicle caused by the vibration shooting function being turned on all the time. While improving the intelligence of vehicle vibration monitoring, the power consumption of vehicle vibration monitoring is reduced. In a specific embodiment, the vibration monitoring method can be applied to a vibration monitoring device 200 as shown in Figure 5 and a vehicle 100 (Figure 6) equipped with the vibration monitoring device 200. The following will take a vehicle as an example to illustrate the specific process of this embodiment. Of course, it can be understood that the vehicle applied to this embodiment may include electric vehicles, gasoline vehicles and other electronic devices, which are not limited here. The following will be elaborated in detail with respect to the process shown in Figure 2. The vibration monitoring method may specifically include the following steps:

[0032] Step S110: When the vibration monitoring function of the vehicle is turned on, the cruising range of the vehicle is obtained.

[0033] In some embodiments, a vehicle may receive a first control instruction input by a user, wherein the first control instruction may be used to instruct the vehicle to activate a vibration monitoring function. Accordingly, the vehicle may activate the vibration monitoring function in response to the first control instruction. The vehicle may also obtain the vehicle's range when the vibration monitoring function is activated.

[0034] In some embodiments, the conditions for activating the vehicle's vibration monitoring function are pre-set and fixed in the vehicle, such as when the vehicle's engine is off and the doors are closed, or when there are no passengers in the vehicle, etc., without limitation herein. Accordingly, the vehicle can automatically activate the vehicle's vibration monitoring function upon detecting that the vehicle's engine is off and the doors are closed; the vehicle can also automatically activate the vehicle's vibration monitoring function upon detecting that there are no passengers in the vehicle. The vehicle can obtain its range when the vibration monitoring function is activated. The vehicle can obtain its range by detecting the vehicle's battery level.

[0035] Step S120: If the cruising range is within a preset range, the vibration shooting function of the vehicle is turned on, wherein when the vibration shooting function is turned on, the camera of the vehicle is in an on state.

[0036] In some embodiments, after obtaining the vehicle's cruising range, the vehicle may compare the cruising range with a preset range. If the cruising range is determined to be within the preset range, the vehicle's vibration photography function may be enabled. When the vibration photography function is enabled, the vehicle's camera is in an on state.

[0037] The preset range may be pre-set in the vehicle, may be set by the user, or may be obtained through third-party experimental data. For example, the preset range is greater than 200 miles.

[0038] In some embodiments, the vehicle may compare the cruising range with a first mileage, and if the cruising range is less than the first mileage, the vibration shooting function may be turned off. The first mileage may be understood as the mileage at which the vibration shooting function is turned off. The first mileage may be set by the user or obtained through third-party data, such as 100 miles obtained from third-party experimental data. Turning off the vehicle's vibration shooting function because the cruising range is less than the first mileage may be understood as the vehicle's vibration shooting function being automatically turned off because the vehicle's cruising range is too low, thereby reducing the vehicle's power consumption for vibration monitoring.

[0039] In some embodiments, the vehicle may also compare the cruising range with a second mileage. If the cruising range is greater than the second mileage, it may be further determined whether the vibration shooting function of the vehicle has been automatically turned off due to a low cruising range. If it is detected that the vibration shooting function of the vehicle has been automatically turned off due to a low cruising range, the vibration shooting function may be turned on; if it is detected that the vibration shooting function of the vehicle has not been automatically turned off due to a low cruising range, the vibration shooting function may be kept turned on. The second mileage may be understood as the recovery mileage of the vibration shooting function, which may be set by the user or obtained through third-party experimental data, such as 200 miles obtained through third-party experimental data. The range greater than the second mileage may be understood as a preset range.

[0040] Among them, it is understandable that after the vehicle's vibration shooting function is turned off due to low cruising range, it can be turned on after the vehicle's cruising range returns to within a preset range to improve the intelligence of vehicle vibration monitoring.

[0041] Step S130: If abnormal vibration of the vehicle is detected during the process of turning on the vibration shooting function, an image captured by the camera is obtained and stored.

[0042] In some embodiments, after the vehicle's vibration capture function is enabled, if abnormal vibration is detected while the vibration capture function is enabled, images captured by the vehicle's camera can be acquired and stored. Specifically, after the vehicle's vibration capture function is enabled, the vehicle can capture images through its camera; accordingly, if abnormal vibration is detected while the vibration capture function is enabled, the vehicle can acquire and store images captured by the camera. This ensures that the scene of abnormal vehicle vibration is captured, improves the accuracy and effectiveness of abnormal vibration monitoring, and enhances the user experience.

[0043] Among them, when the vehicle detects that the vehicle has abnormal vibration, the vehicle can obtain images captured by the camera during the time period from the first preset time period before the moment of abnormal vibration to the second preset time period after the moment of abnormal vibration, and store the images in the vehicle's target memory (such as the central control) to fully capture the cause and effect of the event of abnormal vibration and improve the user's experience of vehicle vibration monitoring. In addition, the vehicle only saves the images within the time period to the target memory, saving the vehicle's storage space and saving the vehicle's resources. Among them, after the vehicle obtains the images of the time period, the vehicle can keep the vehicle's MCU, central control, TBOX and camera in an awake state, but does not store the images captured by the camera in the target memory until abnormal vibration is detected again during the process of turning on the vibration shooting function. Then, the vehicle obtains images captured by the camera during the time period from the first preset time period before the moment of abnormal vibration to the second preset time period after the moment of abnormal vibration, and stores the images in the vehicle's target memory, saving resources and power consumption of vehicle vibration monitoring.

[0044] In some embodiments, the process of a vehicle detecting whether the vehicle has abnormal vibration may include obtaining the vibration intensity of the vehicle. If the vibration intensity is greater than a target intensity threshold, the vehicle status of the vehicle may be obtained, and determining whether the vehicle has abnormal vibration based on the vehicle status.

[0045] The vehicle can detect the vibration intensity of the vehicle through GSensor; accordingly, the vehicle's MCU can obtain the vibration intensity of the vehicle detected by the GSensor and compare the vibration intensity with a target intensity threshold. Accordingly, if the MCU detects that the vibration intensity is greater than the target intensity threshold, it can obtain the vehicle status and determine whether the vehicle has abnormal vibration based on the vehicle status.

[0046] As an practicable approach, the target intensity threshold may be pre-set in the vehicle and remain fixed. The fixed target intensity threshold may be set by the user or obtained through third-party experimental data, which is not limited herein.

[0047] As another feasible embodiment, the vehicle is used to connect to an electronic device; accordingly, the vehicle can receive an intensity threshold adjustment instruction sent by the electronic device before obtaining the vehicle status of the vehicle if the vibration intensity is greater than the target intensity threshold, and can determine the target intensity threshold from multiple intensity thresholds based on the intensity threshold adjustment instruction.

[0048] The vehicle can be pre-set with multiple intensity thresholds, such as high, medium, and low. The lower the intensity threshold, the higher the corresponding intensity threshold, and the lower the frequency of abnormal vehicle vibration. Accordingly, when the vibration capture function is enabled, the corresponding vibration monitoring power consumption of the vehicle is lower. Based on this, users can input intensity threshold adjustment instructions and autonomously determine the target intensity threshold from multiple intensity thresholds, thereby improving the intelligence of vehicle vibration monitoring and enhancing the user experience of vehicle vibration monitoring.

[0049] In some embodiments, if the vehicle detects that the vibration intensity is greater than the target intensity threshold, the process of obtaining the vehicle status of the vehicle may include determining the moment when the vibration intensity of the vehicle is detected to be greater than the target intensity threshold as the target moment, determining the target duration based on the target moment, and obtaining the vehicle status of the vehicle within the target duration.

[0050] The target duration may include a first duration before the target time and a second duration after the target time. The first duration and the second duration may be pre-set in the vehicle, set by the user, or obtained through third-party experimental data.

[0051] The vehicle status may include at least one of the following: the opening and closing of the charging port cover of the vehicle, the opening and closing of the tailgate of the vehicle, the remote honking of the vehicle's horn, and the remote unlocking of the vehicle.

[0052] In some embodiments, the process of determining whether the vehicle has abnormal vibration based on the vehicle status may include: if it is detected that the charging port cover of the vehicle is not open, the tailgate of the vehicle is not open, the vehicle is not remotely honked, and the vehicle is not remotely unlocked, then it can be determined that the vehicle has abnormal vibration.

[0053] In some embodiments, the process of determining whether the vehicle has abnormal vibrations based on the vehicle status may also include: if it is detected that the charging port cover of the vehicle is open, and / or the tailgate of the vehicle is open, and / or the vehicle has a remote horn, and / or the vehicle has been remotely unlocked, it can be determined that the vehicle does not have abnormal vibrations.

[0054] Among them, it can be understood that, considering the opening and closing of the vehicle's charging port cover, the opening and closing of the vehicle's tailgate, the remote honking of the vehicle, and the remote unlocking of the vehicle, there are situations that affect the vibration of the vehicle. In order to improve the accuracy of abnormal vibration detection, in this embodiment, by combining the vehicle status of the vehicle within the target time, it is determined whether the vehicle has abnormal vibration, thereby avoiding false detection of abnormal vibration of the vehicle and reducing the intelligence and energy consumption of the vehicle's vibration monitoring.

[0055] The vibration monitoring method provided in one embodiment of the present application obtains the vehicle's cruising range by turning on the vehicle's vibration monitoring function; if the cruising range is within a preset range, the vehicle's vibration photography function is turned on, wherein when the vibration photography function is turned on, the vehicle's camera is in an on state; if abnormal vibration of the vehicle is detected during the process of turning on the vibration photography function, the image captured by the camera is obtained and stored, thereby enhancing the intelligence, effectiveness, and accuracy of the vehicle's vibration monitoring by adding a photography function to the vehicle's vibration monitoring function. In addition, during the process of vibration monitoring the vehicle, the vibration photography function is turned on again when the vehicle's cruising range is within a preset range, which not only ensures the effectiveness of on-site photography of abnormal vehicle vibrations, but also avoids the large amount of power consumption of the vehicle caused by the vibration photography function being turned on all the time. While improving the intelligence of the vehicle's vibration monitoring, the power consumption of the vehicle's vibration monitoring is reduced.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 3, which shows a schematic flow chart of a vibration monitoring method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to the above-mentioned vehicle. The following will describe the process shown in Figure 3 in detail. The vibration monitoring method may specifically include the following steps:

[0057] Step S210: When the vibration monitoring function of the vehicle is turned on, the cruising range of the vehicle is obtained.

[0058] Step S220: If the cruising range is within a preset range, the vibration shooting function of the vehicle is turned on, wherein when the vibration shooting function is turned on, the camera of the vehicle is in an on state.

[0059] Step S230: If abnormal vibration of the vehicle is detected during the process of turning on the vibration shooting function, an image captured by the camera is obtained and stored.

[0060] For the detailed description of steps S210 to S230 , please refer to the detailed description of steps S110 to S130 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0061] Step S240: If no abnormal vibration of the vehicle is detected within the preset duration of the vibration shooting function being turned on, the vibration shooting function is turned off.

[0062] In some embodiments, if no abnormal vibration of the vehicle is detected within a preset time period when the vibration shooting function is turned on, the vibration shooting function can be turned off to reduce power consumption of the vehicle vibration monitoring.

[0063] In some embodiments, the vehicle can also disable the vibration capture function after it has been enabled for a preset period of time to reduce the power consumption of the vehicle vibration monitoring. The preset period can be set by the user or obtained from third-party experimental data. For example, the preset period is 72 hours. Accordingly, the vehicle can disable the vibration capture function after 72 hours of activation.

[0064] In some embodiments, the vehicle may also receive a second control instruction input by the user, which may be used to instruct to turn off the vibration shooting function. Accordingly, the vehicle may respond to the second control instruction to turn off the vibration shooting function, thereby reducing the power consumption of vehicle vibration monitoring and improving the user experience.

[0065] The user may input the second control instruction through the central control of the vehicle; the user may also operate an associated electronic device to generate the second control instruction through the electronic device and input the second control instruction into the vehicle.

[0066] In some embodiments, the vehicle is used to connect to an electronic device. If the vehicle detects abnormal vibration while the vibration monitoring function is turned on, a target prompt message can be generated and sent to the electronic device to prompt the electronic device that the vehicle has abnormal vibration.

[0067] For example, please refer to Figure 4, which shows a flow chart of the vibration monitoring method provided in one embodiment of the present application. The vibration monitoring method is applied to a vehicle, which includes a vibration monitoring system consisting of an MCU, a GSensor, a central control, a TBOX, and a camera. The vehicle can be connected to an electronic device for data interaction, and the electronic device can be a mobile phone with an APP. The user can control the vehicle's vibration monitoring function and vibration shooting function to be turned on or off through the vehicle's central control or an electronic device connected to the vehicle, so as to define the working mode of the vehicle's vibration monitoring system in a personalized way.

[0068] Step S10: Setting target intensity threshold.

[0069] The vehicle can automatically activate the vibration monitoring function when the engine is off and the doors are closed. Accordingly, the vehicle can detect whether the MCU has been awakened. For example, the MCU can be awakened when the GSensor detects a vibration intensity exceeding a target intensity threshold, or when the vehicle is started, or when the MCU is awakened by the CAN network. Accordingly, after waking up, the MCU can receive intensity threshold adjustment instructions sent by electronic devices connected to the vehicle and, based on the intensity threshold adjustment instructions, determine a target intensity threshold from multiple intensity thresholds. The process of the MCU determining the target intensity threshold can be understood as the MCU initializing the user-set GSensor sensitivity. This allows the user to independently set the GSensor's high / medium / low sensitivity settings through the vehicle's central control or electronic devices connected to the vehicle, improving the user experience and the intelligence of the vehicle's vibration monitoring. When the vehicle's vibration capture function is not enabled, the user can set the GSensor to a lower sensitivity, which in turn reduces the frequency of vibration triggering and reduces the power consumption of the vehicle's vibration monitoring.

[0070] Step S20: Controlling the vibration shooting function.

[0071] Accordingly, the MCU can obtain the vehicle's cruising range after the vehicle turns on the vibration monitoring function, and can turn on the vehicle's vibration shooting function if the cruising range is within a preset range. Among them, the MCU can determine whether the cruising range is less than the first mileage that controls the vibration shooting function to be turned off; if it is less than, it can be determined that the vibration shooting function is automatically turned off because the vehicle's cruising range is too low; if it is greater, it can be correspondingly determined whether the cruising range is greater than the second mileage that controls the vibration shooting function to be restored; if it is not greater, it can be determined whether the vehicle has not been detected to have abnormal vibrations within the preset time period when the vibration shooting function is turned on. If so, the vibration shooting function can be turned off to reduce the power consumption of the vehicle's vibration monitoring. If it is greater, it can be determined whether the vibration shooting function was previously turned off due to the low cruising range. If so, the vibration shooting function is turned on, and it is determined whether the vehicle has not been detected to have abnormal vibrations within the preset time period when the vibration shooting function is turned on. If so, the vibration shooting function can be turned off to reduce the power consumption of the vehicle's vibration monitoring.

[0072] Among them, the vehicle can automatically turn off the vehicle's vibration shooting function when the vehicle's cruising range is less than the first mileage, and automatically turn on the vehicle's vibration shooting function when the cruising range recovers to be greater than the second mileage. The MCU also determines that after the vehicle's vibration shooting function is turned on for a preset time, it automatically turns off the vehicle's vibration shooting function, so as to intelligently turn on or off the vehicle's vibration shooting function, avoid the vehicle's vibration shooting function consuming too much vehicle energy, and improve the intelligence of vehicle vibration monitoring.

[0073] Among them, after the vehicle turns on the vibration shooting function, it can be determined whether the duration of the vibration shooting function being turned on is greater than the preset duration (such as 72h). If it is greater, it can be determined that the vibration shooting function is automatically turned on due to other reasons; if it is not greater, the MCU can continue to determine whether the vehicle status meets the conditions for turning on the vibration monitoring function, and perform vibration monitoring of the vehicle if it is met.

[0074] Step S30: abnormal vibration determination.

[0075] Among them, the MCU can determine that the vehicle meets the conditions for activating the vibration monitoring function when it detects that the vehicle is turned off and the doors are closed, thereby automatically activating the vehicle's vibration monitoring function. Accordingly, when the vehicle's vibration monitoring function is turned on, the MCU can determine whether the GSensor detects vibrations with an intensity greater than the target intensity threshold. If detected, the MCU can obtain the vehicle status of the vehicle and determine whether the vehicle has abnormal vibrations based on the vehicle status. Accordingly, if the MCU does not detect that the vehicle is turned off or the doors are not closed, it can be determined that the vehicle does not meet the conditions for activating the vibration monitoring function. The MCU can detect whether it has received a user-inputted command to activate the vibration monitoring function. If not, the vehicle's vibration monitoring function will remain off. Accordingly, the MCU can detect whether the vehicle's vibration shooting function is turned on. If not, it can control the MCU, central control, TBOX, and camera to enter a dormant state; if it is turned on, it can control the MCU, central control, TBOX, and camera to remain awake through the CAN network. Among them, the MCU can also detect whether the vehicle's vibration shooting function is turned on when the vibration monitoring function is turned on and no vibration with an intensity greater than the target intensity threshold is detected. If it is not turned on, the MCU, central control, TBOX and camera can be controlled to enter a dormant state; if it is turned on, the MCU, central control, TBOX and camera can be controlled to remain awake through the CAN network.

[0076] Among them, the MCU can determine the moment when the detected vibration intensity of the vehicle is greater than the target intensity threshold as the target moment, and determine the target duration based on the target moment, wherein the target duration can include a first duration before the target moment and a second duration after the target moment; wherein, the target duration can also be understood as a calibrated time period before and after the current vibration.

[0077] Accordingly, the MCU can obtain the vehicle status of the vehicle within the target time period, such as the opening and closing status of the vehicle's charging port lid, the opening and closing status of the vehicle's tailgate, the remote horn honking status of the vehicle, and the remote unlocking status of the vehicle. If the vehicle's charging port lid is not open, the vehicle's tailgate is not open, the vehicle's remote horn honking status is not activated, and the vehicle's remote unlocking status is not activated, then it can be determined that the vehicle is experiencing abnormal vibration. If the vehicle's charging port lid is open, and / or the vehicle's tailgate is open, and / or the vehicle's remote horn honking status is activated, and / or the vehicle's remote unlocking status is activated, then it can be determined that the vehicle is not experiencing abnormal vibration. If the charging port lid is opened, the tailgate is opened, the horn is honked remotely, or the vehicle is remotely unlocked within a predetermined time period before and after the vibration, then the vibration event is determined to be non-abnormal. This allows for intelligent filtering of vibration events detected by the GSensor, reducing the frequency of false triggers of the vehicle's vibration monitoring system and improving the user's experience with the vehicle's vibration monitoring system.

[0078] Step S40: abnormal vibration prompt.

[0079] Among them, the MCU can determine whether the vehicle's vibration capture function is turned on when it detects abnormal vibration of the vehicle. If it is turned on, it can control the central control to call the camera for image acquisition, and can obtain and store the images captured by the camera. At the same time, the MCU can generate a target prompt message through TBOX and send it to the mobile phone APP, so that the mobile phone APP will prompt that the vehicle has abnormal vibration. Among them, if the vehicle's vibration capture function is not turned on, the MCU can wake up TBOX and generate a target prompt message through TBOX and send it to the mobile phone APP, so that the mobile phone APP will prompt that the vehicle has abnormal vibration.

[0080] After the vehicle handles the abnormal vibration, it can determine whether the vibration capture function is enabled. If enabled, the MCU, central control, TBOX, and camera can be controlled to remain awake via the CAN network. If disabled, the MCU, central control, TBOX, and camera can be controlled to enter a dormant state. The vehicle can also determine whether the vibration monitoring function is enabled. If disabled, the vehicle's vibration monitoring can be terminated. If enabled, the process returns to step S10.

[0081] Among them, it can be understood that this embodiment can enhance the user's experience of the vehicle's vibration monitoring system and reduce the power consumption of vehicle vibration monitoring by controlling the vibration monitoring function switch, the vibration shooting function switch, setting the sensitivity of GSensor, turning off the vibration shooting function when the cruising range is too low, and filtering abnormal vibrations.

[0082] Among them, when the vehicle's vibration shooting function is not turned on, GSensor will wake up the MCU and TBOX only when it detects a vibration intensity exceeding the target intensity threshold; accordingly, after the vehicle handles the vibration event, it can control the MCU and TBOX to enter sleep mode, while the central control and camera remain in sleep mode. It can be understood that the power consumption of the vibration monitoring system of the vehicle in this working mode is extremely low. In addition, when the vehicle's vibration shooting function is turned on, the MCU, central control, TBOX and camera remain awake, and the vibration monitoring system of the vehicle in this working mode can quickly capture the scene of abnormal vibration. In this embodiment, the user can usually control the vehicle's vibration shooting function to turn off through the vehicle's central control or mobile phone APP. After receiving the abnormal vibration prompt, the vehicle's vibration shooting function can be turned on through the mobile phone APP to continuously monitor whether the vehicle has been maliciously collided or scratched, etc., thereby improving the vibration monitoring effect, reducing the power consumption of vibration monitoring, and improving the user experience. Among them, this embodiment can improve the user experience of the vehicle's vibration monitoring system and reduce the power consumption of vehicle vibration monitoring by controlling the vibration monitoring function switch, the vibration shooting function switch, setting the sensitivity of GSensor, turning off the vibration shooting function when the cruising range is too low, and filtering abnormal vibrations.

[0083] The vibration monitoring method provided in one embodiment of the present application, compared with the vibration monitoring method shown in Figure 2, can also turn off the vibration shooting function if no abnormal vibration of the vehicle is detected within the preset time period when the vibration shooting function is turned on. By automatically turning off the vibration shooting function when the vibration shooting function is turned on for a long time, the vehicle's vibration shooting function is prevented from consuming excessive vehicle energy, thereby improving the intelligence of vehicle vibration monitoring.
