[0050] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0051] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement condition, etc. between components in a certain posture (as shown in the drawings), and if the certain posture changes, the directional indications also change accordingly.

[0052] It should be noted that in this paper, step codes such as S100, S200 are used, the purpose is to more clearly and briefly express the corresponding content, and it does not constitute a substantial limitation on the sequence, and a person skilled in the art may perform S200 before performing S100 in specific implementation, etc., but these should be within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0053] It should be noted that the gray area in the drawings in the specification herein is only for easy identification and does not belong to the technical features in the art.

[0054] In the current society, with the enhancement of environmental protection consciousness, electric vehicles as a convenient, economical and environmentally friendly means of transportation, its popularity rate is rapidly rising. However, with the rapid increase in the number of electric vehicles, vehicle safety problems have also become increasingly prominent. Once the vehicle is lost, not only does it cause economic losses to the owner, but it may also affect his daily travel arrangements and bring many inconveniences.

[0055] Therefore, the present application proposes a cargo bicycle anti-theft method, referring to FIG. 1, the cargo bicycle anti-theft method comprises:

[0056] Step S100, acquiring positioning information and state information of the cargo bicycle;

[0057] Step S200, sending the acquired positioning information and state information to a smart terminal to display the position of the cargo bicycle corresponding to the positioning information and the state of the cargo bicycle corresponding to the state information on the smart terminal.

[0058] In the embodiment, the anti-theft method of the cargo bicycle can be applied to a control device of the cargo bicycle, for example, the control device is integrated with a memory for storing the positioning program of the cargo bicycle and a processor for executing the positioning program of the cargo bicycle. The control device can be implemented by a main controller, such as an MCU, a DSP (Digital Signal Process), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), a PLC, a SOC (System On Chip), etc.

[0059] It can be understood that the cargo bicycle in the embodiment includes a cargo electric bicycle with assistance and a cargo bicycle without assistance. The control device can be integrated with a positioning module, a communication module, a control unit, an acceleration sensor, etc. Each functional module can be installed at a key position of the cargo bicycle. The positioning module is used to position the cargo bicycle and output corresponding position information. In the embodiment, at least one of a GPS positioning module and a radar positioning module can be selected. The communication module can be implemented by a wireless communication module, such as a WIFI module, a 4G / 5G module, a Bluetooth module, etc., or a wired communication module, such as a CAN communication module, a LIN communication module, an RS485 communication module. The communication module is used to establish communication with a smart terminal, including a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer, etc. The acceleration sensor is used to monitor the state information of the cargo bicycle. The control unit is used to acquire and process the signals output by the acceleration sensor and the positioning module, and then output the processed signals to the smart terminal through the communication module, so that the user can view the position and state of the cargo bicycle through the smart terminal application, i.e., the user interface.

[0060] It should be noted that, in order to improve the accuracy of the positioning information, in the embodiment, the positioning module includes a GPS positioning module, and the control unit can use the result of the GPS positioning module as the positioning signal and upload it to the smart terminal. Alternatively, the control unit can process the results of multiple positioning modules according to a preset control program to determine a unique positioning signal and upload it to the smart terminal. Since the IMU provides continuous relative position and attitude information, it is not affected by external signal interference and does not depend on external signal strength, so the IMU is selected as the acceleration sensor to detect the state of the cargo bicycle. Since the IoT accesses the Internet through a cellular network to realize data exchange and remote monitoring, the cargo bicycle can be combined with sensors such as GPS, IMU, radar, and camera to realize accurate positioning and monitoring of the vehicle and real-time interaction between the cargo bicycle and the smart terminal APP.

[0061] In this embodiment, the cargo bicycle can obtain the positioning information of the cargo bicycle through a positioning module (such as a GPS positioning module), and obtain the state information of the cargo bicycle through an inertial measurement unit (IMU), and output the positioning information and the state information to the control unit respectively. The control unit sends the obtained positioning information and state information to the intelligent terminal, so that the position of the cargo bicycle corresponding to the positioning information and the state of the cargo bicycle corresponding to the state information are displayed on the intelligent terminal. It should be noted that the control unit can perform signal processing on the positioning information and the state information to calculate the position and the state of the cargo bicycle, and output the corresponding position signal and state signal to the intelligent terminal, and the intelligent terminal directly displays the position and the state. Alternatively, in order to reduce the power consumption of the cargo bicycle and increase the use time of the cargo bicycle, the control unit does not perform data analysis and calculation processing, and can directly upload the positioning information and the state information to the cloud server through loT, so that the cloud server performs signal processing, for example, performs further analysis and calculation, and then sends to the exclusive APP of the intelligent terminal, and displays on the display screen.

[0062] In actual application, the anti-theft method of the cargo bicycle in the present application combines multiple functional modules such as IMU, GPS, loT and radar, and can provide omnidirectional vehicle safety monitoring and positioning functions. That is, the positioning module provided in the cargo bicycle can position itself, and the acceleration sensor can detect the state of the cargo bicycle and output to the intelligent terminal. When the vehicle of the user is lost, the user can check the position and state of the vehicle through the intelligent terminal, such as a mobile phone, so as to quickly find the lost vehicle. In this way, the risk of vehicle loss is effectively reduced, and the efficiency and convenience of finding the lost vehicle are improved.

[0063] In order to enhance the safety performance of the cargo bicycle, so that the user can quickly respond to the abnormal condition of the vehicle and effectively reduce the loss, in an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 2, the anti-theft method of the cargo bicycle comprises:

[0064] Step S300, when receiving the alarm trigger signal sent by the intelligent terminal according to the obtained positioning information and / or state information that the cargo bicycle is moved in the parked state, responding to the alarm mechanism;

[0065] And / or, when the cargo bicycle itself detects that it is moved in the parked state, starting the alarm mechanism.

[0066] In this embodiment, the cargo bicycle is provided with an alarm module and a locking device, wherein the alarm module can include a buzzer, a sound and light alarm, an indicator light, etc.

[0067] In combination with the above embodiments, the cargo-carrying bicycle is provided with a GPS module to obtain absolute geographic position information, and an IMU is used to detect the motion state (such as movement, inclination, vibration, etc.) of the vehicle. In addition, a Bluetooth module can be provided or real-time communication can be achieved with the user's smartphone App through the lot system. When the user parks the cargo-carrying bicycle at a designated location and leaves, if the intelligent terminal determines that the cargo-carrying bicycle is moved in the parked state according to the positioning information and state information received by the cargo-carrying bicycle, the control device of the intelligent terminal can automatically send an alarm trigger signal to the cargo-carrying bicycle, or when the user discovers that the vehicle is moved through the APP, the trigger button can be started to make the intelligent terminal output an alarm trigger signal to the cargo-carrying bicycle. In this way, when the cargo-carrying bicycle receives the alarm trigger signal, the control unit immediately controls the alarm module to alarm in response to the alarm mechanism. Alternatively, the control unit can also determine that the cargo-carrying bicycle is in the parked state according to the positioning information and state information, and when the cargo-carrying bicycle is moved, for example, the state information output by the IMU or the positioning information output by the positioning module changes, the control unit can control the warning module to alarm, that is, the cargo-carrying bicycle can autonomously start the alarm mechanism. It should be noted that the parked state is a parking state relative to the motion state of the user riding the bicycle.

[0068] Through the anti-theft method of the cargo-carrying bicycle of the present application, the cargo-carrying bicycle can receive external alarm trigger signals and respond to the alarm mechanism, or can autonomously start the alarm mechanism when the alarm condition is met. It can not only alert strangers who move the vehicle, but also remind people around to find abnormalities. In this way, the safety protection of the vehicle is strengthened, and the risk of loss of the vehicle is effectively reduced.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 3, the anti-theft method of the cargo-carrying bicycle comprises:

[0070] Step S400, in response to the locking mechanism and / or in response to the loss mechanism when the intelligent terminal determines that the cargo-carrying bicycle is not locked in the parked state according to the obtained positioning information and / or state information;

[0071] And / or, in response to the loss mechanism when the intelligent terminal determines that the cargo-carrying bicycle is not locked in the parked state and is moved according to the obtained positioning information and / or state information.

[0072] In this embodiment, the locking device can be realized by an electronic intelligent anti-theft lock or a mechanical lock.

[0073] In combination with the above embodiments, the positioning module (including the GPS positioning module) mounted on the cargo bicycle is used to obtain absolute geographic position information, and the IMU is used to detect the motion state (such as movement, inclination, vibration, etc.) of the vehicle. In addition, the cargo bicycle communicates with the user's smart phone App in real time through the lot system. When the user parks the cargo bicycle at the designated location and leaves, if the smart terminal determines that the cargo bicycle is in the parked state but not locked according to the received positioning information and state information of the cargo bicycle, that is, the user forgets to trigger the locking device to lock the car after parking the car in the designated location, at this time, the user can send a lock trigger signal through the control device of the smart terminal to make the cargo bicycle respond to the locking mechanism, that is, control the locking device to lock the car when receiving the lock trigger signal. It can be understood that, in order to avoid the user just temporarily parking on the roadside, rather than intending to park, causing the smart terminal to lock the car after detecting the parking, which brings inconvenience to the user, a preset parking time period can be set so that the smart terminal outputs a corresponding lock trigger signal to the control unit of the cargo bicycle when the time length of receiving the positioning information and / or state information reaches the preset parking time period, so that the corresponding locking mechanism is responded. The preset parking time period is set in advance by the developer. Alternatively, in order to improve the anti-theft function of the vehicle, the smart terminal can directly output a loss trigger signal when it is determined that the cargo bicycle is in the parked state and not locked. For example, when the cargo bicycle receives the loss trigger signal, the internal control unit (such as MCU, DSP controller, etc.) can control the power supply to stop outputting, that is, no longer provide power, and at the same time lock the cargo bicycle, etc. In this way, it can be avoided that when the vehicle is in the parked state and not locked, a stranger uses the cargo bicycle.

[0074] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the smart terminal can determine that the cargo bicycle is in the parked state and not locked when the positioning information and / or state information is received, and output a corresponding loss trigger signal to the cargo bicycle to make the cargo bicycle respond to the loss mechanism. That is, when the user parks the cargo bicycle and forgets to lock it, if the signals output by the IMU and / or the positioning module change, it means that the vehicle is moved and there is a risk of loss, at this time the loss trigger signal is output to start the loss mode. In this way, it can be avoided that the loss mode is directly set when the vehicle is in the parked state and not locked, causing inconvenience in use.

[0075] It can be understood that when the cargo bicycle is in the locking mechanism, the user can unlock through the conventional unlocking mode such as a key, a smart key card, and can normally ride and use after unlocking, so that the user makes the cargo bicycle respond to the locking mechanism through the smart terminal, which actually automatically sends a lock vehicle instruction remotely, avoids the user forgetting to lock the vehicle when parking, and further enhances the safety. When the cargo bicycle is in the lost mechanism, the user cannot unlock through the conventional unlocking mode, and at the same time, when the cargo bicycle is in the lost mode, the smart terminal outputs a prompt information, and then limits the functions of the vehicle, such as stopping the electric power assistance, locking the wheels, and the like, limits the use of the current user, and increases the possibility and time window of the vehicle being found back for the vehicle owner.

[0076] Through the above setting, the cargo bicycle and the smart terminal interact in real time, and more accurate and timely vehicle monitoring and positioning functions are realized. For example, the user can quickly set the lost mode through the mobile phone App, and can view the vehicle position in real time when lost, so as to quickly find the lost vehicle. The anti-theft method of the cargo bicycle of the present application combines the characteristics of the electric power assistance, stops the output of the power assistance in the lost mode, or controls the corresponding function module to stop working, increases the inconvenience of the stolen vehicle personnel, and even cannot be normally used. In cooperation with the locking device, a multi-layer protection anti-theft system of the cargo bicycle is formed. In this way, the risk of vehicle loss is further reduced.

[0077] It can be understood that with reference to FIGS. 4, 5, 6 and 7, in another embodiment of the present application, the anti-theft method of the cargo bicycle further comprises:

[0078] Step S500, acquiring identity information, and sending the identity information to the smart terminal, so that the smart terminal determines whether to authorize the current user according to the identity information.

[0079] The anti-theft method of the cargo bicycle further comprises at least any one of the following:

[0080] Step S510, in response to the unlocking mechanism when receiving the unlocking signal issued by the smart terminal according to the identity information that the current user is authorized and according to the state information that the cargo bicycle is in the locked state and / or the lost state;

[0081] Step S520, in response to the locking mechanism and / or the lost mechanism when receiving the lock vehicle trigger signal issued by the smart terminal according to the identity information that the current user is not authorized and according to the state information that the cargo bicycle is in the parked state and is not locked;

[0082] Step S530, in response to the lock mechanism when receiving the reminding signal that the smart terminal does not authorize the current user according to the identity information, detecting the moving range of the cargo bike, and starting the loss mechanism when detecting that the moving range of the cargo bike exceeds the preset range;

[0083] Step S540, in response to the lock mechanism when receiving the reminding signal that the smart terminal does not authorize the current user according to the identity information, and determining that the cargo bike is in the parked state and in the locked state according to the state information, detecting the moving range of the cargo bike, and starting the loss mechanism when detecting that the moving range of the cargo bike exceeds the preset range.

[0084] In the embodiment, at least one camera is installed on the cargo bike to obtain the surrounding environment information of the cargo bike. The camera can be implemented by a smart recognition camera, a motion stabilization camera, a surround camera system composed of multiple cameras, or a dashcam camera. It can be understood that the camera is used to monitor the environmental information in the monitorable range, wherein the environmental information includes people and scenery. At the same time, a face detection algorithm can be used to locate the position of the face in the captured image. This stage usually involves skin color model, edge detection, shape analysis and other methods, or convolutional neural network (CNN) based on deep learning, which can quickly and accurately identify the face area from the complex background and output the corresponding identity information to the smart terminal.

[0085] Specifically, the user can view the surrounding environment information of the cargo bike in real time through the smart terminal, and the surrounding environment information at least includes identity information, and decide whether to authorize the current user corresponding to the identity information. For example, when the user views the identity information of a stranger through the mobile phone, the user can not authorize the stranger. When the user views the identity information of a familiar person through the mobile phone, such as a friend or a family member borrowing the bike, the user can authorize the current user. It can be understood that the user can operate the authorization through the smart terminal. If the user authorizes the current user through the smart terminal, and determines that the cargo bike is in the locked state and / or the loss state according to the state information collected by the IMU, the corresponding unlocking signal will be sent to the cargo bike, so that the cargo bike receives the unlocking signal and responds to the unlocking mechanism. The unlocking mechanism at least includes releasing the locked state of the locking device and releasing the setting of the loss mode. In this way, the user can remotely authorize the current user who wants to use the vehicle, and release the lock mechanism and the loss mechanism, to provide convenience for the current user.

[0086] In the embodiment, when the user verifies the identity information output by the cargo bicycle through the smart terminal and finds that the current user is a stranger, the current user can not be authorized in order to avoid the loss of the vehicle. When the smart terminal determines that the cargo bicycle is parked and not locked according to the state information, the current user is not authorized, and a lock trigger signal needs to be sent to the cargo bicycle to make the cargo bicycle respond to the locking mechanism and / or the loss mechanism. For example, the cargo bicycle controls the locking device to lock the vehicle or controls the corresponding functional module to stop working to enter the loss mode when the lock trigger signal is received. In this way, when the cargo bicycle is parked and not locked, if the vehicle owner finds that someone is approaching the cargo bicycle through the mobile phone, the cargo bicycle can be controlled to enter the locking mechanism and the loss mechanism to avoid the loss of the vehicle and cause loss.

[0087] In order to avoid that the current user moves the cargo bicycle to another position only because the parking position is obstructing traffic, etc., and causes the cargo bicycle to start the loss mode, thereby affecting the convenience of the vehicle owner, in the embodiment, when the smart terminal determines that the identity information uploaded by the cargo bicycle belongs to a stranger, the smart terminal can be operated to not authorize the current user, and a corresponding reminder signal can be output to the cargo bicycle, so that the cargo bicycle responds to the locking mechanism when the reminder signal sent by the smart terminal is received, and controls the locking device to lock the vehicle, which can immediately prevent the unauthorized user from further operating or moving the cargo bicycle, effectively preventing theft or unauthorized use. At the same time, the cargo bicycle can detect the moving range of the cargo bicycle according to the positioning module and the IMU, and if it is within the preset range, it can only move the cargo bicycle to another nearby position to free up the original parking position, and there is no behavior of taking away by others, so when there is no loss risk of the cargo bicycle, no further action needs to be set. Similarly, when the cargo bicycle receives the reminder signal and locks the vehicle, if the moving range of the cargo bicycle exceeds the preset range according to the positioning information and the state information, the loss mechanism is immediately started, the loss mode is set, and the use of the cargo bicycle by others is hindered. The preset range is set by the developer according to actual needs. In this way, the risk of theft is effectively reduced, the confidence of the user in the safety of the cargo bicycle is improved, and the property safety of the user is protected.

[0088] In the embodiment, when the smart terminal determines that the identity information uploaded by the cargo bicycle belongs to a stranger, the smart terminal can be operated to not authorize the current user, and a corresponding reminder signal can be output to the cargo bicycle. If the cargo bicycle is in a parked state and has been locked at this time, the cargo bicycle can monitor the position change of the cargo bicycle in real time, and immediately start the loss mechanism once the movement exceeds the preset range. The loss mechanism can include sending an alarm to inform the vehicle owner, recording evidence of illegal movement (such as capturing images by a camera), and other prevention and response strategies. This helps to discover abnormal situations in time and reduce the risk of property loss.

[0089] Through the above setting, it is ensured that only the authenticated user can unlock and use the cargo bicycle, enhancing the security of vehicle use and preventing unauthorized users from using it privately. Once it is confirmed that the vehicle is lost, not only can the vehicle location be located, but also a higher level of tracking and alarm process can be started, including sending instant notifications to the vehicle owner, recording vehicle location information, etc., providing protection for quickly finding the vehicle. Significantly enhance the user's trust in the safety of the cargo bicycle, reduce the user's concerns about the safety of the vehicle, and improve the user experience.

[0090] It can be understood that in another embodiment of the present application, the anti-theft method of the cargo bicycle further comprises:

[0091] According to the state information, when the cargo bicycle is in a motion state, the obtained positioning information is matched with the preset position information, and the corresponding matching result is output to the intelligent terminal.

[0092] In this embodiment, the control unit of the cargo bicycle can also determine, according to the state information output by the IMU, when the cargo bicycle is in a motion state, control the positioning module, such as the GPS positioning module, to position it in real time and output real-time positioning information to the control unit. In this way, the control unit can match the positioning information with the preset position information and output the corresponding matching result to the intelligent terminal.

[0093] In practical applications, the cargo-carrying bicycle can be linked with the exclusive APP of the external terminal. The owner sets the emergency contact person in the APP or the cargo-carrying bicycle directly establishes a communication connection with the intelligent terminal of the emergency contact person. When the user uses the cargo-carrying bicycle to carry goods, the destination (preset position information) can be set by the mobile phone before departure and sent to the cargo-carrying bicycle. In this way, during the journey, when the control unit matches the final positioning information of the cargo-carrying bicycle (the positioning information when the motion state is converted to the long-time parking state) with the preset position information, if they do not match, it may be that the rider is lost or encounters an emergency on the way. The control unit of the cargo-carrying bicycle can directly send the matching result to the emergency contact person to prompt the emergency contact person that the current user may be in danger or encounter difficulties, so that the emergency contact person can take appropriate handling measures. If the final positioning information matches the preset position information, the emergency contact person will not worry about the safety of the rider or whether the goods are normally delivered when seeing the result through the mobile phone or other intelligent terminal. Among them, the matching conditions can be set by the developer, for example, when the distance between the final positioning information and the preset position information exceeds the preset distance, it is determined as not matching, and when the distance between the final positioning information and the preset position information is within the preset distance, it is determined as matching. In addition, the starting point and the destination can be input in advance in the navigation application in the intelligent terminal. If the recommended time by the navigation application has been exceeded, and within the preset time period after the timeout, the cargo-carrying bicycle determines that it has not arrived at the destination according to the positioning information, then the corresponding warning result can be output to the intelligent terminal, so that the emergency contact person can remotely view and be timely notified, and it is convenient to take appropriate measures.

[0094] It can be understood that modern navigation devices or navigation applications in intelligent terminals are often compatible with multiple satellite navigation systems. After receiving the position data provided by GPS (or other satellite systems), the navigation system combines map information to provide users with intuitive driving paths, direction indications, and other navigation functions. Therefore, in this embodiment, the user can also set the driving route in advance through the intelligent terminal, for example, select at least one as the target route from the multiple routes recommended by the navigation system. If the cargo-carrying bicycle determines that the route currently traveled by the user deviates from the target route and the deviation range exceeds the preset allowed range according to the obtained real-time positioning information and state information, it means that there is a risk of getting lost. Then the corresponding warning result can be output to the intelligent terminal, so that the emergency contact person can remotely view and be timely notified, and it is convenient to further view the position information of the cargo-carrying bicycle through the intelligent terminal, and quickly find the current user and the owner.

[0095] By setting an emergency contact in the APP and establishing a direct communication connection, an alarm can be automatically sent to the emergency contact when the preset route is deviated, the destination is not reached for a long time, or other abnormal situations occur, the response time is shortened, the possible personal safety problems or cargo transportation delay are effectively dealt with, and the safety protection of the cyclist is improved. At the same time, the user can plan and set the driving route and destination in advance, ensure that the vehicle travels according to the predetermined path, help to improve the transportation efficiency, avoid unnecessary delay caused by getting lost or deviating from the route, and also facilitate the supervisor to supervise the compliance of the transportation process.

[0096] The application provides a theft prevention method based on a smart terminal, referring to FIG. 8, the theft prevention method based on the smart terminal comprises the following steps:

[0097] Step S600, receiving positioning information and state information of the cargo-carrying bicycle;

[0098] Step S700, displaying the position of the cargo-carrying bicycle corresponding to the positioning information according to the received positioning information, and displaying the state of the cargo-carrying bicycle corresponding to the state information according to the received state information.

[0099] In combination with the above embodiment, the smart terminal can receive the positioning information and state information of the cargo-carrying bicycle, and display the real-time position and state of the cargo-carrying bicycle through the display screen of the smart terminal. For example, when the cargo-carrying bicycle is lost, the owner can check the position of the cargo-carrying bicycle in time through the smart terminal, and check the current environment of the cargo-carrying bicycle through the camera, which is more conducive to quickly positioning and thus quickly finding the lost vehicle. Therefore, the risk of vehicle loss is effectively reduced, and the efficiency and convenience of finding the lost vehicle are improved.

[0100] In this embodiment, when it is determined according to the positioning information and / or the state information that the cargo-carrying bicycle is moved in the parked state, an alarm trigger signal is sent to the cargo-carrying bicycle, so that the cargo-carrying bicycle responds to an alarm mechanism according to the alarm trigger signal;

[0101] And / or, when it is determined according to the positioning information and / or the state information that the cargo-carrying bicycle is not locked in the parked state, a lock trigger signal and / or a loss trigger signal are sent to the cargo-carrying bicycle, so that the cargo-carrying bicycle responds to a locking mechanism according to the lock trigger signal and / or responds to a loss mechanism according to the loss trigger signal;

[0102] And / or, when it is determined according to the positioning information and / or the state information that the cargo-carrying bicycle is not locked in the parked state and is moved, a loss trigger signal is sent to the cargo-carrying bicycle, so that the cargo-carrying bicycle responds to a loss mechanism according to the loss trigger signal.

[0103] Specifically, when the user parks the cargo bike at the designated position and leaves, i.e. the cargo bike is in the parked state, if the intelligent terminal determines that the cargo bike is moved in the parked state according to the received positioning information and state information of the cargo bike, an alarm trigger signal can be output to the cargo bike. In this way, when the cargo bike receives the alarm trigger signal, the control unit immediately controls the alarm module to alarm to respond to the alarm mechanism. Alternatively, the control unit can also determine that the cargo bike is in the parked state according to the positioning information and state information, and when the cargo bike is moved, for example, the state information output by the IMU or the positioning information output by the positioning module changes, the control unit can control the warning module to alarm, i.e. the cargo bike can autonomously start the alarm mechanism. It should be noted that the parked state is a parking state relative to the motion state of the user riding the bike.

[0104] In this embodiment, when the user parks the cargo bike at the designated position and leaves, if the intelligent terminal determines that the cargo bike is in the parked state but not locked, i.e. the user forgets to trigger the locking device to lock the bike after parking the bike in the designated position, the user can send a lock trigger signal to the cargo bike through the control device of the intelligent terminal to make the cargo bike respond to the locking mechanism, i.e. control the locking device to lock the bike when receiving the lock trigger signal. It can be understood that, in order to avoid the user only temporarily parking on the roadside, rather than intending to park, causing the intelligent terminal to lock the bike after detecting the parking, which brings inconvenience to the user, a preset parking time period can be set so that the intelligent terminal outputs a corresponding lock trigger signal to the control unit of the cargo bike when the time length of receiving the positioning information and / or state information reaches the preset parking time period, the cargo bike is still in the parked (not moving) state and not locked, so that it responds to the locking mechanism. The preset parking time period is set in advance by the developer. Alternatively, in order to improve the anti-theft function of the vehicle, the intelligent terminal can directly output a loss trigger signal to the cargo bike when it determines that the cargo bike is in the parked state and not locked, so that the cargo bike responds to the loss mechanism. For example, when the cargo bike receives the loss trigger signal, the internal control unit (such as MCU, DSP controller, etc.) can control the power supply to stop outputting, i.e. no longer provide assistance, and at the same time lock the cargo bike, etc. In this way, it can avoid that when the cargo bike is in the parked state and not locked, a stranger uses it arbitrarily.

[0105] In the embodiment, the smart terminal can determine, according to the positioning information and / or the state information, that the cargo bike is not locked when parked in the parked state and is moved, and output a corresponding loss trigger signal to the cargo bike to make the cargo bike respond to the loss mechanism. That is, when the user parks the cargo bike and forgets to lock it, if the signal output by the IMU and / or the positioning module changes, it means that the vehicle is moved and there is a risk of loss, at which time the loss trigger signal is output to start the loss mode. In this way, it can be avoided to directly set the loss mode when parked and not locked, causing inconvenience to use.

[0106] Through the above setting, the anti-theft method based on the smart terminal in the application combines the characteristics of electric power assistance and sets a loss mode. In the loss mode, the power assistance is stopped or the corresponding functional modules are controlled to stop working, increasing the inconvenience of the stolen person and even unable to use normally. In cooperation with the locking device, a multi-layer protection anti-theft system of the cargo bike is formed. In this way, the risk of vehicle loss is further reduced.

[0107] In an embodiment of the application, referring to FIG. 9, the anti-theft method based on the smart terminal further includes:

[0108] Step S800, receiving identity information and determining whether the current user is authorized according to the received identity information;

[0109] Step S900, when the current user is authorized according to the identity information and the cargo bike is in the locked state and / or the loss state according to the received state information, an unlocking signal is sent out;

[0110] And / or, when the current user is not authorized according to the identity information and the cargo bike is in the parked state and not locked according to the state information, a lock trigger signal is sent out;

[0111] And / or, when the current user is not authorized according to the identity information, a reminder signal is sent out to make the cargo bike respond to the locking mechanism.

[0112] In the embodiment, the user can view the surrounding environment information uploaded by the camera of the cargo bicycle through the smart terminal in real time, and the surrounding environment information at least includes identity information, and decides whether to authorize the user corresponding to the current identity information. For example, when the user views the identity information of a stranger through the mobile phone, the user can not authorize the stranger, and when the user views the identity information of a familiar person through the mobile phone, such as a friend or a family member who borrows the bicycle, the user can authorize the current user. It can be understood that the user can operate the authorization through the smart terminal. If the user authorizes the current user through the smart terminal, and determines that the cargo bicycle is in the locking state and / or the lost state according to the received state information collected by the IMU, a corresponding unlocking signal is sent to the cargo bicycle, so that the cargo bicycle receives the unlocking signal and responds to the unlocking mechanism. The unlocking mechanism at least includes releasing the locking state of the locking device and releasing the setting of the lost state. In this way, the user can remotely authorize the current user who wants to use the vehicle, and release the locking mechanism and the lost mechanism, to provide convenience for the current user.

[0113] In the embodiment, when the user verifies the identity information output by the cargo bicycle through the smart terminal, and finds that the current user is a stranger, in order to avoid the loss of the vehicle, the current user can not be authorized. When the smart terminal determines that the cargo bicycle is parked and not locked according to the state information, since the current user is not authorized, a locking trigger signal needs to be sent to the cargo bicycle, so that the cargo bicycle responds to the locking mechanism and / or the lost mechanism, so as to control the locking device to lock the vehicle when the cargo bicycle receives the locking trigger signal, or control the corresponding functional module to stop working and enter the lost mode. In this way, when the cargo bicycle is parked and not locked, if the owner finds that someone is close to the cargo bicycle through the mobile phone, the cargo bicycle can be controlled to enter the locking mechanism and the lost mechanism, so as to avoid the loss of the vehicle and cause loss.

[0114] When the user receives the identity information through the smart terminal and finds that the current user is a stranger, the current user is not authorized, in order to avoid the current user using the vehicle privately, a reminder signal can be sent through the smart terminal, so that the cargo bicycle responds to the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes controlling the locking device to lock the vehicle and controlling the output of the power assist to stop when the cargo bicycle receives the reminder signal.

[0115] Specifically, in order to avoid the current user just because the parking position is traffic, etc., the cargo bicycle is moved to place in another position, but causes the cargo bicycle to start the loss mode, and then affects the user to use the vehicle inconveniently. In the embodiment, when the smart terminal determines that the identity information uploaded by the cargo bicycle belongs to a stranger, the smart terminal can operate to not authorize the current user, and output a corresponding reminder signal to the cargo bicycle, so that the cargo bicycle responds to the locking mechanism when receiving the reminder signal sent by the smart terminal, and controls the locking device to lock the vehicle. The unlicensed user can immediately prevent further operation or movement of the bicycle, effectively preventing theft or unauthorized use. At the same time, the smart terminal can also determine the moving range of the cargo bicycle according to the positioning information and the state information, if it is within the preset range, it can only move the cargo bicycle to other nearby locations to free up the original parking position, and there is no behavior of taking away by others, so when the cargo bicycle is not at risk of loss, no further action is required other than locking the vehicle. Similarly, if the cargo bicycle receives the reminder signal and locks the vehicle, if the smart terminal determines that the moving range of the cargo bicycle exceeds the preset range according to the positioning information and the state information, the loss mechanism is immediately started, the loss mode is set, and the private use of the cargo bicycle by others is hindered. The preset range is set by the developer according to the actual needs. In this way, the risk of loss is effectively reduced, the user's confidence in the safety of the bicycle is improved, and the user's property safety is protected. In addition, the loss mechanism can include sending an alarm to the owner, recording evidence of illegal movement (such as camera captured images), and other prevention and response strategies. This helps to discover abnormal situations in a timely manner and reduce the risk of property loss.
