Solution Overview

Problem

The existing vehicle control methods using Bluetooth technology suffer from low intelligentization and accuracy due to the short wavelength of Bluetooth signals, which can be affected by human bodies or objects, leading to frequent and incorrect triggering of unlocking/locking operations.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle control method and apparatus that adjust the parameter thresholds for controlling vehicle operations based on the strength or distance of the Bluetooth signal, increasing the difference between unlocking and locking thresholds to prevent frequent triggering, thereby improving the accuracy and intelligentization of vehicle control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If Bluetooth signal strength threshold is set close to triggering value, then vehicle control responsiveness is improved, but false triggering frequency increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle control responsivenessVSAvoidcontrol operation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically adjusts the Bluetooth signal strength threshold based on vehicle state and environmental conditions. When the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly, a lower threshold is used to reduce false triggering. When the vehicle is moving quickly or in environments with signal interference, a higher threshold is applied to maintain reliability while still responding to legitimate access attempts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The threshold parameter is made dynamic rather than fixed, allowing the system to adapt to changing conditions. The threshold automatically adjusts based on vehicle speed, movement state, and signal stability, enabling the system to maintain optimal responsiveness without false triggering across different operating scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If parameter threshold difference between unlocking and locking is small, then control sensitivity is improved, but frequent incorrect triggering occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol sensitivityVSAvoidtriggering accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic threshold adjustment where the difference between unlocking and locking thresholds varies based on vehicle state. When the vehicle is stationary, a smaller threshold difference maintains high sensitivity. When the vehicle is moving or signal conditions are poor, a larger threshold difference prevents false triggering while still allowing legitimate operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The threshold difference is made dynamic, automatically expanding or contracting based on real-time conditions. This allows the system to maintain high control sensitivity when needed while preventing frequent incorrect triggering during movement or signal interference, resolving the contradiction between sensitivity and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If Bluetooth wavelength is short, then signal precision is improved, but susceptibility to blocking by objects increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal precisionVSAvoidsignal blocking sensitivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adjusts the signal strength threshold parameter based on detected blocking conditions. When objects are detected between the vehicle and electronic device (reducing signal strength), the threshold is dynamically adjusted to account for the blocking, maintaining precision while compensating for the harmful blocking effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the harmful effect of signal blocking into useful information. By detecting reduced signal strength caused by blocking objects, the system adjusts its threshold accordingly, using the blocking effect itself as a trigger for parameter adjustment to maintain accurate control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

AI summary

One or more embodiments of this specification disclose a vehicle control method and apparatus. The method includes the following: a first control operation corresponding to a first parameter threshold is performed on a target vehicle when it is detected that a first parameter between an electronic device and the target vehicle meets a triggering condition for the first parameter threshold corresponding to the target vehicle; a second parameter threshold corresponding to the target vehicle is adjusted from an initial threshold to a target threshold to increase a difference between the first parameter threshold and the second parameter threshold; and a second control operation corresponding to the second parameter threshold is performed on the target vehicle when it is detected that the first parameter meets a triggering condition for the target threshold.
