The invention discloses an OBU false wake-up detection method and device, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, providing an OBU device which comprises an MCU control module, a
human body existence sensor module, a
wireless communication module and a security
encryption module; s2, the OBU is activated through an issuing process to start a
human body existence sensor module to control a
wireless signal awakening function of the OBU; S3, after activation, the OBU starts the
human body existence sensor module to scan the interior of the vehicle; s4, a human body existence sensor module detects whether a person is in the vehicle or not, and when the state of the person in the vehicle changes, the human body existence sensor module wakes up the OBU; s5, if it is detected that no person is in the vehicle, the OBU closes the
wireless signal awakening function and enters a low-power-consumption
sleep mode; if it is detected that someone is in the vehicle, the OBU keeps a
wireless signal awakening function starting state, and a
timer awakening function is closed. According to the invention, battery
power consumption caused by false wake-up is effectively avoided, and the possibility of illegal
information acquisition and malicious fee deduction is effectively blocked.
