[0063] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0064] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0065] Over-the-Air (OTA) technology: remotely updating a vehicle's software, firmware, or map data via wireless networks (such as cellular networks or Wi-Fi) without requiring a physical connection or access to a service station.

[0066] OTA Container: An OTA container is a container used for remotely managing and updating the software of an onboard electronic control unit (ECU). OTA containers allow vehicle manufacturers to remotely transmit and deploy software updates, fixes, and upgrades via the cloud without physical contact with the vehicle.

[0067] OTA Store (Over-The-Air Store): An OTA Store is an online platform for managing and distributing vehicle software updates and applications. It allows vehicle manufacturers or third-party developers to offer vehicle users a variety of software updates, feature extensions, and applications. Users can select and download the software updates and applications they need through the OTA Store, thereby personalizing vehicle functions and experiences.

[0068] The Telematics Service Provider (TSP) controller manages remote vehicle services, communicates with the OTA (Over-The-Air) marketplace, and receives and transmits vehicle configuration information. It communicates with cloud services via the in-vehicle network to enable remote vehicle monitoring, diagnostics, and control.

[0069] Telematics Control and Management (TCAM) controller: manages the remote communication and control of the vehicle, processes vehicle configuration information from the TSP controller, and transmits it to other vehicle controllers.

[0070] Body Gateway Module (BGM): As one of the central control units of the vehicle, it manages the vehicle's electrical system and communication network. It receives vehicle configuration information from the TCAM controller and broadcasts it to other controllers via the vehicle's internal communication network.

[0071] Vehicle Control Unit (VCU): Monitors and controls the vehicle's powertrain system, including the engine and transmission. It may receive vehicle configuration information broadcast from the BGM controller and execute corresponding operations.

[0072] Driver Information Head Unit (DHU): Manages vehicle information display and user interaction, and is responsible for updating the displayed content to reflect changes in vehicle status or configuration.

[0073] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario provided by an embodiment of this application. Referring to Figure 1, it includes a terminal device, a server, and a vehicle. The user can send a driving mode request to the server through the terminal device. After receiving the driving mode request, the server can obtain vehicle configuration information matching the driving mode request and send it to the vehicle for configuration.

[0074] For example, a user can send a production mode request to an OTA server through the smartphone that controls the vehicle. After receiving the production mode request, the OTA server can obtain the vehicle configuration information that matches the production mode request and send it to the vehicle for configuration.

[0075] Currently, vehicles are typically set with a fixed mileage limit, after which they can no longer be used. However, this method cannot accurately meet the usage needs of vehicles in various scenarios, resulting in a poor driving experience for users.

[0076] To address the aforementioned issues, the inventors, while researching vehicle usage in various scenarios, discovered that vehicles typically go through multiple stages, including production, test drives, and purchase, each corresponding to different driving modes. Limiting vehicle use based solely on mileage cannot meet the needs of all scenarios. Therefore, the inventors considered whether a server could send corresponding vehicle configuration information to the vehicle to configure it and thus meet the usage requirements in various scenarios. Specifically, after numerous experiments, the inventors found that the server can receive driving mode requests, retrieve vehicle configuration information based on these requests, and then send the configuration information to the vehicle for configuration; this configuration information includes vehicle usage permissions. Based on this, this application proposes a vehicle mode configuration method to meet the usage requirements of vehicles in various scenarios and improve the user's driving experience.

[0077] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0078] Figure 2 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the vehicle mode configuration method provided in this application. Referring to Figure 2, the method may include:

[0079] S201, Get driving mode request.

[0080] In this step, the server can obtain a driving mode request, which includes an identifier of the target driving mode and an identifier of the vehicle.

[0081] Driving modes refer to the vehicle modes that can be configured during driving, including production mode, experience mode, sales mode, and user mode. Specifically, the mode a vehicle possesses during the manufacturing process can be production mode, the mode a vehicle possesses during the sales process can be experience mode or sales mode, and the mode a vehicle possesses after purchase by the user can be user mode.

[0082] The target driving mode identifier refers to the fact that any driving mode can have a corresponding identifier. For example, the identifier for production mode can be 01, the identifier for experience mode can be 02, the identifier for sales mode can be 03, and the identifier for user mode can be 04.

[0083] Specifically, for any driving mode request, a vehicle identifier can be included. This vehicle identifier can be a unique identifier for each vehicle, used to distinguish and identify different vehicles. The unique identifier can be a unique character, code, or symbol, or it can be a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). For example, vehicle A can be identified by the character "A," and vehicle B can be identified by the character "B."

[0084] Optionally, the server may retrieve the driving mode request in the following two ways:

[0085] Method 1: Receive driving mode request sent by the vehicle's infotainment system.

[0086] Optionally, users can select a driving mode on the vehicle's infotainment screen. After the user selects a driving mode, the infotainment system can send the driving mode request to the server.

[0087] For example, a user can select a production mode request on the vehicle's infotainment screen. After the user selects the production mode request, the vehicle's infotainment system can send the production mode request to the server.

[0088] Optionally, users can send a voice message to the vehicle's infotainment system requesting a driving mode. After receiving the voice message, the infotainment system can send the driving mode request to the server.

[0089] For example, a user can send a voice message to the vehicle's infotainment system saying "Select production mode". After receiving the voice message, the infotainment system can send the production mode request to the server.

[0090] Method 2: Receive a driving mode request sent by the vehicle's control terminal, which is a terminal device capable of switching vehicle modes.

[0091] Optionally, users can select a driving mode on the screen of the terminal device. After the user selects a driving mode, the terminal device can send the driving mode request to the server.

[0092] For example, a user can select a production mode request on their smartphone screen. After the user selects the production mode request, the smartphone can send the driving mode request to the server. The smartphone is a device capable of controlling the switching of vehicle modes.

[0093] Optionally, the user can send a voice message to the terminal device requesting a driving mode. After receiving the voice message from the user, the terminal device can send the driving mode request to the server.

[0094] Optionally, a driving mode selection application (App) can be installed on the terminal device. After the user selects a driving mode in the App, the terminal device can send the driving mode request to the server. For example, a user's smartphone can have a driving mode selection App installed; after the user selects production mode in the App, the smartphone can send a production mode request to the server.

[0095] For example, the server can obtain driving mode request 1, which includes the production mode identifier 01 and the vehicle identifier A.

[0096] S202. Based on the driving mode request, obtain the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the target driving mode.

[0097] In this step, the server can obtain the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the target driving mode based on the received driving mode request. The vehicle configuration information includes the vehicle's usage permissions.

[0098] Optionally, if the target driving mode is production mode, the vehicle configuration information includes speed limiting control of the vehicle based on a first speed threshold.

[0099] Optionally, if the target driving mode is experience mode or sales mode, the vehicle configuration information includes an unlocking indicator, which is used to indicate that the vehicle is not subject to speed limit control.

[0100] Optionally, if the target driving mode is user mode, the vehicle configuration information includes a speed limit control instruction, and any one of the following: available driving range, available time range, and available battery range corresponding to the vehicle identifier; wherein, the speed limit control instruction is used to instruct the vehicle to perform speed limit control according to preset speed limit conditions.

[0101] For example, the server can obtain vehicle configuration information 1 corresponding to the production mode based on driving mode request 1. Vehicle configuration information 1 includes speed limit control for vehicle A based on a first speed threshold of 40 km / h.

[0102] S203. Send vehicle configuration information to the vehicle and configure the vehicle according to the vehicle configuration information.

[0103] For example, the server can send vehicle configuration information 1 to vehicle A and configure vehicle A according to vehicle configuration information 1.

[0104] S204. Configure the vehicle's usage mode to the target driving mode.

[0105] In this step, the vehicle controller receives the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the target driving mode from the server and configures the vehicle's usage mode to the target driving mode. The vehicle configuration information includes the vehicle's usage permissions, and the vehicle's usage mode is the vehicle's current driving mode before configuring the target driving mode.

[0106] For example, the vehicle controller can receive vehicle configuration information 1 corresponding to the production mode from the server and configure the usage mode of vehicle A to production mode. Vehicle configuration information 1 includes speed limit control for vehicle A based on a first speed threshold of 40 km / h.

[0107] S205. During vehicle operation, control is performed based on vehicle configuration information.

[0108] For example, while vehicle A is in motion, the speed of vehicle A can be limited based on a first speed threshold of 40 km / h.

[0109] In this embodiment, the server can obtain a driving mode request, acquire the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the target driving mode based on the request, send the vehicle configuration information to the vehicle, and configure the vehicle according to the configuration information. After receiving the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the target driving mode from the server, the vehicle controller can configure the vehicle's usage mode to the target driving mode and control the vehicle according to the configuration information during operation. In this process, the server can acquire and process driving mode requests and send the corresponding vehicle configuration information to the vehicle, thereby accurately meeting the vehicle's usage needs in various scenarios and improving the user's driving experience.

[0110] Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating a second embodiment of the vehicle mode configuration method provided in this application. Referring to Figure 3, the target driving mode is production mode, and the method may include:

[0111] S301. Obtain a driving mode request. The driving mode request includes the production mode identifier and the vehicle identifier.

[0112] For example, the server can obtain the driving mode request 2 sent by the vehicle's in-vehicle system. The driving mode request includes the production mode identifier 01 and the vehicle identifier B.

[0113] S302. Based on the driving mode request, obtain the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the production mode. The vehicle configuration information includes speed limit control of the vehicle based on the first speed threshold.

[0114] In this step, after receiving the driving mode request, the server can query the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the production mode based on the driving mode request. The vehicle configuration information includes speed limit control of the vehicle based on the first speed threshold.

[0115] Optionally, the production mode can be used in scenarios where vehicles are moved during the vehicle manufacturing process. For example, during vehicle production, vehicles can be driven to a testing area for functional testing, or when vehicles are being transported to a sales location, vehicles can be driven to complete loading and unloading.

[0116] The first speed threshold refers to controlling the vehicle's speed below the first speed threshold during the vehicle's operation in production mode.

[0117] Optionally, the first speed threshold can be preset according to the needs of the production mode. For example, the first speed threshold can be 20km / h, 30km / h, or 40km / h.

[0118] For example, the server can obtain vehicle configuration information 2 corresponding to the production mode based on driving mode request 2. Vehicle configuration information 2 includes speed limit control for vehicle B based on a first speed threshold of 40 km / h.

[0119] S303. Send vehicle configuration information to the vehicle and configure the vehicle according to the vehicle configuration information.

[0120] For example, the server can send vehicle configuration information 2 to vehicle B and configure vehicle B according to vehicle configuration information 2.

[0121] S304. Configure the vehicle's usage mode to production mode.

[0122] For example, the vehicle controller can receive vehicle configuration information 2 corresponding to the production mode from the server and configure the usage mode of vehicle B to production mode. Vehicle configuration information 2 includes speed limit control for vehicle B based on a first speed threshold of 40 km / h.

[0123] S305. During vehicle operation, the vehicle speed shall be controlled below the first speed threshold.

[0124] In actual vehicle use, the vehicle's speed can be determined based on the accelerator pedal opening. For example, with the accelerator pedal fully open (100%), the vehicle speed can be 150 km / h; with 50% open, the vehicle speed can be 75 km / h; and with 20% open, the vehicle speed can be 30 km / h.

[0125] Specifically, the first speed threshold is used to limit the maximum speed of the vehicle to below the first speed threshold.

[0126] For example, if a user presses the accelerator pedal and the pedal opening is 20%, the vehicle speed can be 30 km / h during the driving process.

[0127] For example, if a user presses the accelerator pedal and the pedal opening is 50%, the vehicle speed can be limited to 40 km / h while the vehicle is in motion.

[0128] For example, while vehicle B is in motion, its speed can be limited based on a first speed threshold of 40 km / h.

[0129] In this embodiment, the server can obtain a driving mode request, which includes an identifier for the production mode and an identifier for the vehicle. Based on the driving mode request, the server obtains the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the production mode and sends the vehicle configuration information to the vehicle for configuration. After receiving the vehicle configuration information, the vehicle controller can configure the vehicle's usage mode to production mode and limit the vehicle's speed to below a first speed threshold during vehicle operation. In the above process, the server can obtain and process the driving mode request and send the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the production mode to the vehicle, thereby meeting the vehicle's usage requirements in production mode and improving the user's driving experience.

[0130] Figure 4 is a flowchart illustrating a third embodiment of the vehicle mode configuration method provided in this application. Referring to Figure 4, the target driving mode is either an experience mode or a sales mode. The method may include:

[0131] S401. Obtain a driving mode request. The driving mode request includes the identifier of the experience mode or sales mode and the vehicle identifier.

[0132] For example, the server can obtain the driving mode request 3 sent by the vehicle's control terminal. The driving mode request 3 includes the experience mode identifier 02 and the vehicle identifier B.

[0133] S402. Based on the driving mode request, obtain the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the experience mode or sales mode. The vehicle configuration information includes an unlocking instruction, which is used to indicate that the vehicle will not perform speed limit control.

[0134] In this step, after receiving the driving mode request, the server can query the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the experience mode based on the driving mode request. The vehicle configuration information includes an unlock instruction, which is used to instruct the vehicle not to perform speed limit control.

[0135] For example, the server can obtain the vehicle configuration information 3 corresponding to the experience mode based on the driving mode request 3. The vehicle configuration information 3 includes an unlocking instruction, which is used to instruct vehicle B not to perform speed limit control.

[0136] S403. Send vehicle configuration information to the vehicle and configure the vehicle according to the vehicle configuration information.

[0137] For example, the server can send vehicle configuration information 3 to vehicle B and configure vehicle B according to vehicle configuration information 3.

[0138] S404. Configure the vehicle's usage mode to either experience mode or sales mode.

[0139] Optionally, the vehicle's usage mode can be configured as an experience mode, which can refer to changing the vehicle's original usage mode to a new usage mode.

[0140] For example, the vehicle controller can receive vehicle configuration information 3 corresponding to the experience mode from the server and configure vehicle B's production mode to experience mode. Vehicle configuration information 3 includes an unlock instruction, which instructs vehicle B not to perform speed limit control.

[0141] S405. While the vehicle is in motion, the speed limit on the vehicle is lifted according to the unlocking instruction.

[0142] For example, while the vehicle is in motion, the speed limit on vehicle B can be lifted based on the unlock command, no longer confined to the first speed threshold control of 40 km / h. Instead, the vehicle speed can be controlled based on the actual opening of the accelerator pedal.

[0143] In this embodiment, the server can obtain a driving mode request, which includes an identifier for either a trial mode or a sales mode, and a vehicle identifier. Based on the driving mode request, the server obtains the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the trial mode or sales mode and sends this information to the vehicle for configuration. Upon receiving the vehicle configuration information, the vehicle controller can configure the vehicle's usage mode to trial mode or sales mode, and during vehicle operation, remove the speed limit based on an unlocking instruction. In this process, the server can receive and process driving mode requests, send the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the trial mode or sales mode to the vehicle, and remove the speed limit, thereby meeting the vehicle's usage needs in trial mode or sales mode and improving the user's driving experience.

[0144] Figure 5 is a flowchart illustrating Embodiment 4 of the vehicle mode configuration method provided in this application. Referring to Figure 5, the target driving mode is the user mode, and the method may include:

[0145] S501. Obtain a driving mode request. The driving mode request includes the identifier of the user mode and the identifier of the vehicle.

[0146] For example, the server can obtain the driving mode request 4 sent by the vehicle's in-vehicle system. The driving mode request includes the user mode identifier 04 and the vehicle identifier B.

[0147] S502. Based on the driving mode request, obtain the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the user mode. The vehicle configuration information includes a speed limit control instruction, and any one of the following: available driving range, available time range, and available battery range corresponding to the vehicle identifier; wherein, the speed limit control instruction is used to instruct the vehicle to perform speed limit control according to preset speed limit conditions.

[0148] Optionally, the available driving mileage, usable time range, or usable battery capacity range can be the package purchased by the user for the vehicle. If the available driving mileage is fully used, the battery exceeds the usable time range, or the battery capacity is not within the usable battery capacity range, the vehicle speed can be limited according to the preset speed limit conditions.

[0149] For example, the server can obtain the vehicle configuration information 4 corresponding to the experience mode based on the driving mode request 4. The vehicle configuration information 4 includes a speed limit control instruction and the available driving range of 100km corresponding to vehicle identifier B. The speed limit control instruction is used to instruct vehicle B to perform speed limit control according to the preset speed limit conditions. If the available driving range of 100km is fully used, the speed limit control of vehicle B is performed according to the preset speed limit conditions. Optionally, the speed limit conditions can be to limit the vehicle speed to 40km / h during the driving process.

[0150] S503: Send vehicle configuration information to the vehicle and configure the vehicle according to the vehicle configuration information.

[0151] For example, the server can send vehicle configuration information 4 to vehicle B and configure vehicle B according to vehicle configuration information 4.

[0152] S504. Configure the vehicle's usage mode to user mode.

[0153] For example, the vehicle controller can receive the vehicle configuration information 4 corresponding to the user mode sent by the server, and configure the production mode, experience mode, or sales mode of vehicle B to the user mode. The vehicle configuration information 4 includes a speed limit control instruction and the available driving range of 100km corresponding to vehicle identifier B. The speed limit control instruction is used to instruct vehicle B to perform speed limit control according to the preset speed limit conditions.

[0154] S505. During vehicle operation, the vehicle speed is limited based on any one of the available mileage, available time range, available battery range, speed limit control indication, and preset speed limit conditions.

[0155] For example, if the vehicle's available mileage of 100km has been fully used during the vehicle's operation, the vehicle B can be speed-limited to 40km / h using a preset speed limit.

[0156] In this embodiment, the server can obtain a driving mode request, which includes the user's identifier and the vehicle's identifier. Based on the driving mode request, the server obtains the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the user mode and sends this information to the vehicle for configuration. Upon receiving the vehicle configuration information, the vehicle controller can configure the vehicle's usage mode to user mode. During vehicle operation, the controller will limit the vehicle's speed based on any one of the available mileage, usable time range, and usable battery range included in the vehicle configuration information, as well as a speed limit control instruction and preset speed limit conditions. In this process, the server can receive and process driving mode requests and send the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the user mode to the vehicle. When the user's purchased vehicle package does not meet the usage requirements, the server can limit the vehicle's speed based on preset speed limit conditions, preventing the vehicle from becoming unusable due to the depletion of fixed mileage. This ensures the vehicle meets the usage requirements of user mode, thereby improving the user's driving experience.

[0157] The following is a complete example to illustrate the entire link.

[0158] Figure 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the vehicle mode configuration method provided in this application. Referring to Figure 6, the method may include:

[0159] S601, OTA store receives driving mode requests sent by the vehicle's infotainment system.

[0160] In this step, the user can send a driving mode request to the OTA store through the vehicle's infotainment system. The driving mode request includes the identifier of the target driving mode and the vehicle's identifier.

[0161] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the configuration vehicle mode link provided in an embodiment of this application. Referring to Figure 7, the vehicle system sends the driving mode request to the OTA store via the TSP. Specifically, the driving mode request can be sent from the DHU via the TSP to the OTA store.

[0162] Optionally, driving mode requests can be sent from the DHU to the OTA marketplace via BGM, TCAM, and TSP.

[0163] S602, OTA Mall notifies OTA Container to send vehicle configuration information.

[0164] In this step, the OTA store sends a driving mode request to the OTA warehouse. The OTA warehouse can then obtain the vehicle configuration information corresponding to the target driving mode based on the driving mode request. The vehicle configuration information includes the vehicle's usage permissions.

[0165] Driving modes can include any one of the following: production mode, experience mode, sales mode, and user mode.

[0166] S603 and OTA container send vehicle configuration information to vehicle TSP.

[0167] In this step, vehicle configuration information can be sent to the vehicle's TSP via the OTA upgrade management protocol (OTAP) or the CAN (Controller Area Network) bus system protocol.

[0168] S604, the vehicle TSP sends the vehicle configuration information to the TCAM, and then the TCAM sends the vehicle configuration information to the BGM.

[0169] In an optional implementation, the vehicle configuration information may further include configuration words. The server and vehicle controller have pre-set configuration word policies. For example, the configuration word for F1 may indicate that the vehicle's target driving mode is production mode, the configuration word for F2 may indicate that the vehicle's target driving mode is experience mode, the configuration word for F3 may indicate that the vehicle's target driving mode is sales mode, and the configuration word for F4 may indicate that the vehicle's target driving mode is user mode.

[0170] S605, BGM broadcasts vehicle configuration information to VCU and DHU.

[0171] In this step, after receiving the vehicle configuration information, the VCU and DHU can rewrite the controller to configure the vehicle mode.

[0172] Optionally, upon receiving vehicle configuration information, the VCU can execute corresponding control strategies. If the vehicle mode is configured as production mode, the VCU can limit the vehicle's speed based on a first speed threshold; if the vehicle mode is configured as trial mode or sales mode, the VCU can remove the speed limit control; if the vehicle mode is configured as user mode, the VCU can limit the vehicle's speed based on preset speed limit conditions when the available driving range is fully utilized, the battery exceeds its usable time range, or the battery's charge level is outside the usable range.

[0173] Optionally, for the DHU, after receiving the vehicle configuration information, the corresponding vehicle mode indicator can be displayed on the vehicle's infotainment screen according to the vehicle configuration information. For example, if the vehicle mode is configured as production mode, the production mode indicator 01 can be displayed on the vehicle's infotainment screen.

[0174] Optionally, if the vehicle mode is configured as Experience Mode or User Mode, the mileage traveled by the vehicle in a driving cycle can also be displayed on the vehicle's screen.

[0175] Optionally, if the vehicle mode is configured as user mode, information regarding any of the following—available driving range, usable time range, and usable battery range—can also be displayed on the vehicle's screen. For example, if a user has purchased 100km of available driving range, the remaining available driving range can be displayed while the vehicle is in motion.

[0176] In this embodiment of the application, vehicle configuration information can be sent to the VCU and DHU according to the driving mode request, so that the vehicle can switch driving modes. This method can accurately meet the usage needs of the vehicle in various scenarios, avoid the problem that the vehicle cannot be used again due to the fixed mileage, and further improve the user's driving experience.
