Detailed Description
The following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present disclosure is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present disclosure, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a vehicle periphery abnormality monitoring method provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the method may be performed by a remote service controller (TBOX), and may include the following steps.
In step 101, when it is monitored that an abnormal condition exists around the vehicle, first surrounding environment information of the vehicle is acquired.
Before step 101, the environmental conditions around the vehicle may be monitored, and after the driver stops and shuts down the vehicle, the vehicle is in a armed state. With the vehicle in this state, it is possible to start monitoring the distance of the vehicle-surrounding object from the vehicle. The monitoring process can be realized by a remote service controller controlling a monitoring device such as a distance induction sensor carried by the vehicle. For example, the distance sensor may be disposed at four door handles and front and rear bumpers of the vehicle, as shown in fig. 2A, so as to monitor the surroundings of the vehicle. Monitoring the distance between the object around the vehicle and the vehicle can facilitate judgment of the abnormal condition around the vehicle in the subsequent step. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2B, the presence of an abnormal condition in the vehicle periphery may be monitored by the following steps.
In step 201, periodically acquiring a first distance between the vehicle and a peripheral object by taking a first duration as a period; in step 202, when the first distance is smaller than the preset distance, a second distance between the vehicle and the surrounding object is obtained by taking a second duration as a period, wherein the second duration is smaller than the first duration; in step 203, recording the number of times that the obtained second distance is smaller than the preset distance; in step 204, when the number of times is greater than a preset number of times, it is determined that an abnormal condition exists in the vehicle periphery.
In the process shown in fig. 2B, the remote service controller may control the monitoring device to acquire the distance between the vehicle and the peripheral object with the first time period as a period, and shorten the period to a second time period with the second time period as a period when the distance is less than the preset distance. The preset distance may be a safe distance between the vehicle and the surrounding object set by the user, that is, when the distance between the vehicle and the surrounding object is smaller than the preset distance, it indicates that the distance between the vehicle and the surrounding object is too close, which may be a dangerous situation.
When the number of times that the distance between the vehicle and the surrounding object acquired by taking the second duration as the period is smaller than the preset distance is larger than the preset number, the object is close to the vehicle for a long time, and a potential dangerous situation may exist, and it may be determined that an abnormal condition exists around the vehicle.
Through the steps, the abnormal conditions around the vehicle can be determined after the object approaches the vehicle for a certain time. Therefore, the interference of the situations that other vehicles stop nearby, pedestrians or vehicles temporarily move nearby and the like can be avoided, and the situation of misjudgment is reduced.
For example, if the first time period is 3min, the second time period is 1min, the preset distance is 3m, and the preset number of times is 3 times, the distance between the vehicle and the peripheral object is acquired every 3 min. When the distance is less than 3m, the distance between the vehicle and the peripheral object is acquired in a period of 1 min. When the distance between the vehicle and the peripheral object, which is obtained by taking 1min as a period, is still less than 3m and the number of times of obtaining that the distance is less than 3m is recorded to reach 3 times, it can be determined that an abnormal condition exists around the vehicle.
When it is determined that an abnormal condition exists around the vehicle, the entire vehicle network may be awakened, and for example, an abnormal message may be sent to the remote service controller through the LIN bus to awaken the entire vehicle network. At this time, the information related to the environmental condition around the vehicle may be collected, and the information related to the environmental condition may be, for example, image information, video information, or the like. The information related to the environmental condition can be obtained by, for example, an AVM (Around View Monitor) on the vehicle, which is also called a panoramic parking assist system. The panoramic parking auxiliary system comprises a driving recorder, a police law enforcement recorder, a network camera and the like and is used for recording and checking the information around the vehicle. In one embodiment, a panoramic parking assist system of a vehicle may be controlled to acquire image information of a periphery of the vehicle. Namely, when the abnormal condition around the vehicle is determined, the panoramic parking assist system for controlling the vehicle collects the image information of the surrounding environment. The image information can be collected by a camera carried by the vehicle, for example, the camera can be four cameras distributed all over the vehicle body, so that the image information around the vehicle can be collected as much as possible, and the occurrence of monitoring dead angles is avoided.
In step 102, first ambient environment information is transmitted to a user terminal of the vehicle.
And sending the first peripheral environment information of the vehicle acquired in the step 101 to a user side bound to the vehicle. The user may determine whether to retrieve more detailed information by viewing, for example, the first ambient environment information displayed on the user side screen display interface.
In step 103, after receiving the first instruction sent by the user terminal, second peripheral environment information of the vehicle is acquired.
The first instruction is used for instructing acquisition of second peripheral environment information, the amount of information included in the first peripheral environment information is smaller than the amount of information included in the second peripheral environment information, and the first peripheral environment information is image information of the periphery of the vehicle and the second peripheral environment information is video information of the periphery of the vehicle.
In one case, after the user checks the first peripheral environment information of the vehicle through the user end device, the user needs to further check more detailed vehicle peripheral environment information, and at this time, the user may further send a first instruction through the user end device to obtain the second peripheral environment information. As shown in fig. 3, the operation of acquiring the second peripheral environment information of the vehicle may be specifically realized by the following steps 301 and 302.
In step 301, after receiving a first instruction (the first instruction may specifically be a video acquisition instruction), the vehicle body controller adjusts an angle of an external rear view mirror of the vehicle.
When a first instruction sent by a user side is received, the user needs to acquire more comprehensive information of the surrounding environment of the vehicle. Because the monitoring range of the vehicle external rear-view mirror with a fixed angle has a blind area, the angle of the vehicle external rear-view mirror needs to be adjusted at this moment, so that a camera below the external rear-view mirror can obtain a wider visual angle to capture video information of the surrounding environment of the vehicle. The adjustment of the angle of the exterior rear view mirror of the vehicle can be done, for example, by controlling the body controller, which controls the exterior rear view mirror for folding, for example, via a LIN bus. For example, the external rearview mirror can be automatically turned over under the control of the vehicle body controller, and the visual angle range of the camera can be continuously adjusted in the turning-over process, so that the purpose of capturing video information of the surrounding environment of the vehicle in the maximum range is achieved. The video acquisition instruction sent by the user side can be directly sent to the remote service controller by the user side, or can be sent to the remote server by the user side and then sent to the remote service controller by the remote server.
In step 302, a camera disposed under the exterior mirror is controlled to acquire video information of the surrounding environment of the vehicle in the process of adjusting the angle of the exterior mirror.
In the process of adjusting the angle of the vehicle outside rear-view mirror, the monitoring range of the camera arranged below the outside rear-view mirror is correspondingly enlarged. And controlling the camera to acquire video information of the surrounding environment of the vehicle body in the process of adjusting the angle of the vehicle outside rearview mirror. The obtained video information is more comprehensive, and the monitoring blind area is avoided to the maximum extent.
In step 104, the acquired second peripheral environment information is sent to the user side.
The acquired video information acquired by the camera in the process of adjusting the external rearview mirror can be transmitted to user end equipment in real time for a user to check and perform subsequent operation. Similarly, the video information may be sent directly from the remote service controller to the user side, or may be sent from the remote service controller to the remote server and then sent from the remote server to the user side.
In one embodiment, the remote service controller can communicate directly with a client, wherein the client can be a client bound to the vehicle. Illustratively, the remote service controller may communicate with the user terminal over, for example, a 4G network, a WIFI network, and the like. In such an embodiment, the remote server may directly send the acquired environmental condition information, such as image information of the vehicle periphery, to the user terminal for viewing by the user of the user terminal.
In another embodiment, the remote server may communicate with the user terminal indirectly through a remote server (TSP). Illustratively, the remote service controller may communicate with the remote server over, for example, a 4G network, a WIFI network, etc., and the remote server may communicate with the user terminal over, for example, a 4G network, a WIFI network, etc. In this embodiment, the remote server may upload the acquired environmental condition information to the remote server, and then the remote server may push the environmental condition information, such as image information of the periphery of the vehicle, to the user terminal for the user to view.
By the technical scheme, whether abnormal conditions exist around the vehicle can be determined by monitoring the distance between the object around the vehicle and the vehicle, and the environmental condition information around the vehicle is sent to the user side when the abnormal conditions exist around the vehicle, so that active early warning under the condition that the abnormal conditions occur around the vehicle is realized. In addition, the frequency of using the remote telemetry function by a user can be greatly reduced, and the condition that the power consumption of the whole vehicle is too fast due to the fact that the user frequently uses the remote telemetry function is avoided.
In one case, after the user views the environmental condition information around the vehicle through the user side, it is determined that there is no abnormal situation around the vehicle, and the information can be ignored without further monitoring. At this time, the whole vehicle network does not receive further instructions of the user, the whole vehicle network will be in a dormant state, and the current monitoring is finished.
Through the scheme, on the basis of sending the environmental condition information around the vehicle to the user side, when the user is determined to have further requirements for the environmental information around the vehicle, information with large data volume, such as video information, is transmitted, the pertinence is stronger, and unnecessary data transmission can be saved.
In addition, the user can also perform alarm operation at the user side. When the remote service controller receives an alarm instruction sent by the user side, the remote service controller can control the vehicle body controller and the like to alarm so as to play a warning role. The alert means includes, but is not limited to, at least one of: turning on a steering lamp to flicker; the anti-theft horn is turned on to sound. Meanwhile, the user can give an alarm at the user side by intercepting the corresponding picture at the user side, sending a vehicle positioning acquisition instruction to the remote service controller to obtain the current positioning information of the vehicle and the like. For example, a user may upload, through a mobile phone APP, acquired current location information of a vehicle and stored video information to an alarm platform 110 via a network, where the alarm platform may immediately notify a nearest dispatch of the vehicle for relevant processing. For another example, if the video viewed by the user at the user side shows that the vehicle is in a dangerous condition, the relevant picture in the video can be captured and uploaded to the relevant alarm platform together with the acquired vehicle positioning information, and the alarm is completed.
