Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle control methods using Bluetooth technology suffer from low intelligentization and accuracy due to the short wavelength of Bluetooth signals, leading to frequent and incorrect triggering of unlocking/locking operations when the signal is blocked by a human body or objects, affecting user experience.

Innovation Solution

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

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If Bluetooth signal is used for vehicle control, then key-free access and convenient operation are achieved, but signal blocking by human body or objects causes frequent incorrect triggering of control operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvekey-free access convenienceVSAvoidcontrol operation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of threshold difference between unlocking and locking operations. By increasing the difference between the first parameter threshold (unlocking threshold) and the second parameter threshold (locking threshold), the system creates a buffer zone that prevents frequent incorrect triggering caused by signal fluctuations, thus resolving the contradiction between convenience and reliability

2Speed

If small difference between parameter thresholds is used, then responsive control is achieved, but frequent incorrect triggering occurs due to signal fluctuations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol response speedVSAvoidcontrol operation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the parameter thresholds by setting an appropriate difference between the first parameter threshold and the second parameter threshold. This ensures that the system responds quickly to legitimate user actions while filtering out false triggers caused by signal blocking, thus balancing response speed and accuracy

AI summary

One or more embodiments of this specification discloses vehicle control. An implementation includes performing a first control operation corresponding to a first parameter threshold 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. A second control operation corresponding to the second parameter threshold on the target vehicle is performed when it is detected that the first parameter meets a triggering condition for the target threshold.
