[0027] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below are exemplary only, and are not intended to limit the present application, and the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions are denoted throughout the drawings by the same or similar reference numerals.

[0028] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is an application scenario diagram of a method for unlocking a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application. The application scenario provided by the present application includes a terminal device 101, a server 102, and a vehicle 103. The method for unlocking a vehicle provided by the present application can be executed by at least one of the terminal device 101 and the server 102.

[0029] The terminal device 101 can include, but is not limited to, a smart phone (such as an Android phone, an IOS phone, etc.), a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a smart speaker, a smart watch, a portable personal computer, a mobile Internet device (MID), a smart voice interaction device, a smart home appliance, a vehicle-mounted terminal, an aircraft, a wearable device, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0030] The terminal device 101 can be integrated with a client. The client can be a client with the function of displaying text, images, audio, and video data information, including but not limited to a vehicle control client, which is used to control the vehicle (including unlocking the vehicle door, controlling the vehicle air conditioner, etc.). The client can be a standalone client, or an embedded sub-client integrated in a certain client (for example, a social client). The present application does not limit this.

[0031] The server can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster composed of multiple physical servers, or a distributed system, and can also be a cloud server providing cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDN), and basic cloud computing services such as big data and artificial intelligence platforms, and the like. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0032] It should be noted that the number of terminal devices and servers in FIG. 1 is only used as an example, and the number of terminal devices and servers can also be more or less, which is not limited herein. The terminal device and the server can be directly or indirectly connected through wired or wireless communication, which is not limited herein.

[0033] The terminal device can directly communicate with the vehicle through Bluetooth, near field communication, or the like. Alternatively, the terminal device can communicate with the server, and then indirectly communicate with the vehicle through the server.

[0034] The unlocking method of the vehicle in the embodiments of the present application can be executed by an electronic device, which can be at least one of the server and the terminal device, that is, the method can be executed by the terminal device alone, or can be executed by the server and the terminal device together. Therefore, the execution subject of each step will not be repeated in the following.

[0035] It should be noted that in the following examples of the unlocking method of the vehicle, the terminal device executes the unlocking method of the vehicle is taken as an example for description. Based on the understanding of the following, those skilled in the art can apply the unlocking method of the vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application to other types of scenarios (such as the terminal device and the server cooperating to execute the unlocking method of the vehicle).

[0036] Based on the introduction of the above-mentioned related scenarios, the embodiments of the present application provide an unlocking method of a vehicle executed by a terminal device, which will be described in detail below.

[0037] Please refer to FIG. 2, the unlocking method of a vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application is realized by step 011, which will be described in detail below.

[0038] Step 011: receiving an unlocking operation;

[0039] Step 012: in the case of receiving the unlocking operation, sending an unlocking instruction corresponding to a target vehicle door to the vehicle, and the vehicle controls a door actuator of the target vehicle door based on the unlocking instruction to perform an unlocking operation, so as to open the target vehicle door, and the target vehicle door at least includes one door of the vehicle.

[0040] The unlocking operation refers to an operation performed by a user on the terminal device for unlocking a door of the vehicle.

[0041] Optionally, the unlocking operation comprises at least one of a touch operation, a key operation and a voice operation.

[0042] For example, the unlocking operation can be a touch operation. When the terminal device is provided with a vehicle client, the user can open the vehicle client and perform the unlocking operation by clicking a preset door unlocking button corresponding to the door to be unlocked. Alternatively, a gesture operation can be set in a setting interface of the vehicle client, and the unlocking operation can be quickly performed by performing a specific gesture.

[0043] For another example, the unlocking operation can be a key operation. When the terminal device is provided with a vehicle client, the user can open the vehicle client and set a quick unlocking operation in a setting interface of the vehicle client. The quick unlocking operation can be performed by long pressing or double clicking a specific physical key of the terminal device, so as to quickly perform the unlocking operation.

[0044] For yet another example, the unlocking operation can be a voice operation. The user can quickly perform the unlocking operation by using a voice instruction. For example, the user can say "please help me unlock the driver's door".

[0045] Specifically, after the user performs the unlocking operation on the terminal device, an unlocking instruction corresponding to the target door can be generated based on the target door corresponding to the unlocking operation.

[0046] It can be understood that the unlocking instruction at least comprises information of the target door and control information for unlocking the target door. The information of the target door can enable the vehicle to determine the door to be unlocked, and the control information can control the vehicle to perform the unlocking operation.

[0047] For example, when an interface control corresponding to the unlocking operation (e.g., the unlocking button is associated with the target door) is determined, the target door to be unlocked can be determined. Alternatively, when a specific physical key is associated with the target door, the target door to be unlocked can be determined after the specific physical key is operated. Alternatively, when a gesture is associated with the target door (e.g., a single-finger upward swipe corresponds to the driver's door, and a double-finger upward swipe corresponds to the front passenger's door), the target door to be unlocked can be determined based on the gesture operation. Alternatively, the target door to be unlocked can be determined by voice recognition.

[0048] The target door can comprise one or more doors of the vehicle. The unlocking operation can be performed on a specific single door, or the unlocking operation can be performed on multiple target doors at a time.

[0049] After the terminal device generates the unlocking instruction, the unlocking instruction can be sent to the vehicle to unlock the target door.

[0050] For example, when the terminal device is close to the vehicle, the terminal device can first establish a Bluetooth connection with the vehicle, and then send the unlocking instruction through Bluetooth.

[0051] It can be understood that, in order to ensure safety, the terminal device is a device that has been paired with Bluetooth and authorized by the vehicle to make a Bluetooth connection. In this way, illegal unlocking of the vehicle by criminals can be avoided, and problems such as loss of the vehicle and loss of the owner's property can be avoided.

[0052] For another example, when the terminal device is far away from the vehicle, or the vehicle owner needs to lend the vehicle to others for use, and needs to remotely unlock, the unlocking instruction can be sent to the server, and then forwarded to the vehicle by the server.

[0053] After receiving the unlocking instruction, the vehicle can first identify the target door to be unlocked based on the unlocking instruction, such as by analyzing the information of the target door contained in the unlocking instruction.

[0054] It can be understood that, when the vehicle implements door unlocking, it generally pops out the hidden door handle through the unlocking signal, and the user pulls the door handle. At this time, the door handle generates an unlocking instruction to the door actuator for unlocking the door, and the door actuator opens (such as pops out, pushes out, slides out, etc.) the corresponding door.

[0055] Referring to FIG. 3, the door actuator 604 of the vehicle 600 includes a door lock motor 605, a door lock 606 (a mechanical structure connected to the door lock motor on the side of the door), and a lock catch 607 (a structure connected to the door body and combined with the door lock). The door lock motor 605 is connected to the door lock 606, and by driving the door lock motor 605 to move, the door lock 606 can be driven to move to disengage the lock catch 607, thereby achieving the opening of the door. In a conventional scheme, the unlocking instruction generated after the door handle is pulled will be sent to the door actuator 604, and the door actuator 604 controls the door lock motor 605 to move, thereby driving the door lock 606 to disengage the lock catch 607, and achieving the opening of the door. However, in the case where the door handle is frozen and cannot be popped out, this method cannot unlock the door.

[0056] Therefore, the present application bypasses the process of opening the door handle, and can not control the door handle to pop out, but directly controls the door actuator through the unlocking instruction, thereby driving the door lock motor to move, to drive the door lock to disengage the lock catch, and achieve the opening of the door.

[0057] Generally, each door is provided with a corresponding door actuator, and after the unlocking instruction contains the information of the target door, the control of the door actuator corresponding to the target door can also be realized, thereby opening the target door in a targeted manner and achieving the unlocking of the target door.

[0058] The unlocking method of the vehicle of the present application, the electronic device sends the unlocking instruction corresponding to the target vehicle door to the vehicle, so that the vehicle directly controls the door actuator corresponding to the target vehicle door based on the unlocking instruction, thereby directly unlocking the target vehicle door to open the target vehicle door, without opening the door handle, bypassing the step of unlocking the vehicle door by the door handle, thereby avoiding the problem that the vehicle cannot be unlocked due to the ice accumulation in the internal structure of the door handle, ensuring that the vehicle can be stably unlocked in various scenarios, thereby improving the user experience.

[0059] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4, the unlocking method of the vehicle further includes step 012, which is described in detail below.

[0060] Step 013: displaying an unlocking interface, the unlocking interface including a plurality of unlocking buttons, the unlocking buttons corresponding to at least one vehicle door;

[0061] Step 012 includes:

[0062] Step 0121: in the case that any target unlocking button receives an unlocking operation, sending an unlocking instruction corresponding to the target unlocking button to the vehicle, the unlocking instruction being used to unlock a target vehicle door corresponding to the target unlocking button.

[0063] Specifically, referring to FIG. 5, taking a touch operation as an example, a plurality of unlocking buttons (B1 to B4 shown in FIG. 5) can be preset in the vehicle client, each unlocking button being customizable to associate with one or more vehicle doors, thereby improving the adaptability of the unlocking button and meeting the differentiated needs of different users.

[0064] Optionally, the unlocking button and the vehicle door are one-to-one corresponding. In this way, the independent unlocking of each vehicle door can be realized.

[0065] Optionally, the unlocking button corresponds to a plurality of vehicle doors. In this way, the unlocking button can be used to unlock multiple vehicle doors at a time, thereby improving the efficiency of vehicle door unlocking.

[0066] In the case that any target unlocking button receives an unlocking operation, the target vehicle door corresponding to the unlocking button receiving the unlocking operation can be quickly determined, and an unlocking instruction with information of the target vehicle door can be generated and sent to the vehicle, so that the vehicle unlocks the target vehicle door based on the unlocking instruction.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring again to FIG. 5, the unlocking interface further includes a model display area S1 of the vehicle, the model display area S1 being displayed based on appearance information and state information of the vehicle, the state information including at least vehicle door state information.

[0068] Specifically, in order to intuitively feedback the information of the vehicle and the unlocking progress. A model display area of the vehicle can be set in the unlocking interface, and the appearance of the vehicle is displayed through the vehicle model which is the same as the appearance of the vehicle, so as to determine the information of the vehicle to be unlocked currently, and avoid the situation that the user has multiple vehicles and the wrong vehicle is unlocked.

[0069] Then the current state of the vehicle is displayed through the state information, in order to realize the monitoring of the unlocking progress, the state information at least includes the door state information. For example, the door state information includes door unlocking, door locking, door opening, door closing, door handle popping out, door handle hiding, etc. For example, the door in the vehicle model can display the states of door unlocking, door locking, door opening, door closing, door handle popping out, door handle hiding, etc. For example, when the target door of the vehicle is successfully unlocked, the target door of the vehicle model also displays a virtual scene of the door lock being opened. When the door is opened, the door of the vehicle model is also opened to the corresponding opening degree, so as to intuitively display the unlocking progress and give the user timely state feedback.

[0070] It can be understood that the state information can also include other information, such as the current driving gear of the vehicle, the internal temperature of the vehicle, etc., which is not limited here and can be designed according to the needs.

[0071] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 6. After sending the unlocking instruction to the vehicle, the unlocking method of the vehicle further includes step 014, which is described in detail below.

[0072] Step 014: receiving the door state information feedback by the vehicle, and displaying the door state information through the corresponding unlocking button.

[0073] Specifically, in order to realize the display of the door state, the terminal device needs to obtain the door state information from the vehicle in time, and the vehicle will monitor the door state of the target door in real time. After the terminal device is connected with the vehicle, the door state information can be obtained first, and before the door state information is successfully obtained, each unlocking button is in an inoperable state, so as to avoid the invalid or incorrect unlocking operation due to the asynchronous door state.

[0074] After the door state is synchronized, each unlocking button returns to the operable state, and the user can click the unlocking button to realize the unlocking of the corresponding target door.

[0075] After receiving the unlocking instruction, the vehicle will monitor the door state of the target door in real time and feedback to the terminal device. For example, the door state information includes at least one of the default state, the door being opened by electricity, the door opening by electricity failing, the door opening by electricity successfully, or the door state information can include the states of door unlocking, door locking, door opening, door closing, door handle popping out, door handle hiding, etc.

[0076] The default state can be a state of the vehicle door when no unlocking instruction is received (generally, a closed state). The electrically unlocking door refers to that the vehicle receives an unlocking instruction and sends the unlocking instruction to a door actuator. However, the unlocking instruction can need to go through an intermediate processing process, and the door lock motor also needs a certain time to move to make the door lock disengage from a lock catch. Before the unlocking instruction is received and the door lock disengages from the lock catch, it can be considered that the vehicle is in the electrically unlocking door. The electrically unlocking door failure refers to that the vehicle has sent an unlocking instruction to a door actuator, but the door actuator does not correctly execute the unlocking action, or the door actuator executes the unlocking action, but does not successfully unlock the target vehicle door. At this time, the target vehicle door is not opened, and the electrically unlocking door failure is fed back. The electrically unlocking door success refers to that the vehicle has sent an unlocking instruction to a door actuator, and after the door actuator executes the unlocking action, the target vehicle door is opened and is in an open state.

[0077] Optionally, the vehicle feeds back the vehicle door state information to the terminal device based on a preset strategy. The preset strategy can be that the vehicle acquires the vehicle door state information every preset time length, and then feeds back the terminal device. Alternatively, the vehicle feeds back the vehicle door state information to the terminal device after the vehicle door state changes.

[0078] Referring to FIG. 7, after receiving the vehicle door state information fed back by the vehicle, the terminal device can display the vehicle door state. For example, the unlocking button B1 is associated with the main driver door, the unlocking button B2 is associated with the co-driver door, the unlocking button B3 is associated with the left rear door, and the unlocking button B4 is associated with the right rear door. As shown in FIG. 7, after the user clicks the unlocking buttons B1 and B2, based on the vehicle door state information fed back by the vehicle, the vehicle door state of the main driver door is in the electrically unlocking door (i.e., “opening in progress” in FIG. 7), and the vehicle door state of the co-driver door is in the electrically unlocking door failure (i.e., “opening failure” in FIG. 7).

[0079] In this way, the vehicle door state of the target vehicle door can be intuitively and accurately displayed through the unlocking button corresponding to the target vehicle door.

[0080] In some embodiments, after receiving the vehicle door state information fed back by the vehicle, the terminal device can also display the vehicle door state through an icon. For example, there is a corresponding vehicle door state icon for each vehicle door state, and the corresponding vehicle door state icon can be displayed in a status bar of an interface to display the current vehicle door state.

[0081] In some embodiments, referring again to FIG. 7, the unlocking interface further includes usage prompt information (such as the area S2 in FIG. 7). The usage prompt information includes an introduction of the unlocking interface and information for realizing vehicle door unlocking through the unlocking interface.

[0082] Specifically, in order to facilitate the user to better use the emergency unlocking function of the vehicle door, the use prompt information can be set on the unlocking interface, and the use prompt information is used to guide the user to correctly use the emergency unlocking function, specifically including the introduction of each control of the unlocking interface, and how to realize the vehicle door unlocking through the unlocking interface, etc., to help the user quickly master the use of the emergency unlocking function.

[0083] For example, the use prompt information can realize the use guidance of the emergency unlocking function through one or more ways of image, text, video, etc. Alternatively, the use prompt information can guide the user to perform the corresponding touch operation on the interface step by step through the operation guide information, so as to realize the hand-to-hand teaching, and simply and easily realize the use guidance of the emergency unlocking function.

[0084] Based on the introduction of the above related scenarios, the embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle unlocking method executed by the vehicle side, and the vehicle unlocking method will be described in detail below.

[0085] Please refer to FIG. 8, the vehicle unlocking method provided by the embodiment of the present application is realized by step 021 and step 022, and the following will be specifically described.

[0086] Step 021: in the case of receiving the unlocking instruction, determining the target vehicle door based on the unlocking instruction;

[0087] Specifically, the vehicle can analyze the unlocking instruction in the case of receiving the unlocking instruction, so as to obtain the information of the target vehicle door.

[0088] Step 022: controlling the door actuator of the target vehicle door to perform the unlocking operation, so as to open the target vehicle door.

[0089] Specifically, the vehicle bypasses the operation of opening the door handle, and directly controls the door actuator of the target vehicle door to perform the unlocking operation, so as to open the target vehicle door and realize the unlocking of the target vehicle door. In this way, the target vehicle door can be opened without opening the door handle, and the problem that the vehicle door cannot be opened when the handle is frozen and cannot be opened is avoided.

[0090] Optionally, the vehicle can control the door lock motor of the target vehicle door to drive the door lock to separate from the lock buckle, so as to open the target vehicle door.

[0091] Optionally, to achieve the target vehicle door automatically pops open when the door lock is disengaged from the lock catch, a sealing strip (a flexible device that ensures the sealing of the vehicle door and the vehicle body) can be arranged on the edge of at least one of the vehicle door and the vehicle frame. When the door lock and the lock catch are engaged, the sealing strip of the target vehicle door is pressed to seal the target vehicle door. When the door lock is disengaged from the lock catch, the sealing strip is not restricted by the combined structure and will be depressurized to generate a sealing counterforce of about 200 Newton (N) to 300 N on the vehicle door, which is affected by the service time of the sealing strip. Under the action of the sealing counterforce, the vehicle can be popped out by 2-5 cm. Then the user can pull open the vehicle door.

[0092] In this way, by the way of the sealing strip popping open the vehicle door, compared with the ice breaking function of other electric doors in winter scenes, the innovation lies in that it does not need to increase a self-driving motor to control the vehicle door and the door handle, and uses the sealing counterforce on the vehicle to achieve the effect of popping open the vehicle door. Not only is the cost lower, but also it is more universal, and it also supports the after-installation of existing vehicles, but it needs to ensure that the sealing counterforce of the sealing strip can achieve the effect of popping open the vehicle door.

[0093] In some embodiments, when the vehicle unlocks the target vehicle door, it also controls the door handle of the target vehicle door to pop out.

[0094] Specifically, since the sealing strip may age after being used for a long time, it is not stable to rely entirely on the sealing strip to pop open the vehicle door. By controlling the door handle of the target vehicle door to also pop out, the user can pull open the vehicle door by pulling the popped-out door handle when the sealing counterforce is not enough, so as to ensure that the vehicle door can be stably opened.

[0095] Moreover, in common scenarios, even if the sealing strip pops open the vehicle door by a certain distance, the user still experiences poor opening of the vehicle door by pulling the edge of the vehicle door. Therefore, the door handle is also popped out synchronously, so that the user can use the door handle to pull open the vehicle door, and the opening experience of the vehicle door is good. Only in the case that the door handle is occasionally frozen and cannot be popped out, the edge of the vehicle door needs to be pulled to open the vehicle door.

[0096] In some embodiments, the vehicle also includes a vehicle anti-theft device, and before controlling the door actuator of the target vehicle door to perform the unlocking operation to pop open the target vehicle door, the vehicle can control the vehicle anti-theft device to remove the security restriction.

[0097] It can be understood that at present, the vehicle is generally only unlocked by the unlocking instruction sent by the door handle, and other unlocking instructions are directly shielded by the vehicle anti-theft device. When the vehicle anti-theft device is turned on, the vehicle cannot be unlocked, so that the unlocking instruction cannot control the corresponding door actuator to achieve the unlocking of the target door. Therefore, in order to control the door actuator based on the unlocking instruction, the vehicle anti-theft device needs to be turned off, so that the vehicle is in a state that can be normally unlocked. At this time, the control of the door actuator corresponding to the target door can be realized, and the target door can be unlocked. In this way, the unlocking effectiveness of the target door can be ensured.

[0098] In some embodiments, when the gear of the vehicle is in the parking gear, the door actuator of the target door is controlled to perform the unlocking operation to open the target door.

[0099] Specifically, during the driving of the vehicle (i.e., the gear of the vehicle is not in the parking gear), the vehicle door cannot be unlocked. At this time, if the user's family member or friend operates the user's mobile phone and misoperates to perform the unlocking operation, the vehicle door may be unlocked by mistake, and driving safety problems may occur.

[0100] Therefore, when the unlocking operation of the door actuator is implemented, the application first judges whether the gear of the vehicle is in the parking gear. If so, the unlocking of the door actuator is performed, so as to avoid the driving safety problems caused by the mistaken unlocking.

[0101] In some embodiments, referring again to FIG. 3, the vehicle includes a plurality of controllers, which are a first controller 601, a second controller 602, and a third controller 603.

[0102] The first controller 601 (such as an intelligent entry controller) includes a communication module. The first controller 601 establishes a communication connection with the electronic device through the communication module to receive the unlocking instruction or feedback the door state information to the electronic device. In this way, the communication with the electronic device can be realized through the first controller 601, and the implementation of the emergency unlocking function of the vehicle door can be ensured.

[0103] The second controller 602 (such as the left body domain controller of the vehicle) is used to control the vehicle anti-theft device. The second controller 602 is used to control the vehicle anti-theft device to remove the safety limit in the case of receiving the unlocking instruction, and forward the unlocking instruction to the third controller 603. In this way, the unlocking instruction can ensure the effective unlocking of the target door.

[0104] The second controller 602 is further used to first perform safety verification on the unlocking instruction, and control the vehicle anti-theft device to remove the safety limit and forward the unlocking instruction to the third controller 603 in the case that the safety verification is passed. In this way, the legality of the terminal device for unlocking can be ensured, and the unlocking of the vehicle by the illegal terminal device can be avoided.

[0105] The third controller 603 (such as a rear body domain controller, which generally cannot directly receive the instruction of the terminal device and needs to be forwarded by other domain controllers) is configured to control the door actuator of the vehicle door. When the third controller 603 receives the unlocking instruction, the third controller 603 controls the door actuator of the target vehicle door corresponding to the unlocking instruction to perform the unlocking operation, so as to open the target vehicle door. In this way, the control safety of the rear body domain can be ensured.

[0106] The process of the vehicle to realize the unlocking of the target vehicle door is as follows:

[0107] The first controller 601 receives the unlocking instruction, forwards the unlocking instruction to the second controller 602, and feeds back the real-time monitored vehicle door state information to the terminal device. The second controller 602 performs safety verification, and after the verification is passed, the second controller 602 closes the vehicle anti-theft device (that is, contacts the safety limit), and forwards the verified unlocking instruction to the third controller 603 again.
