Optionally, a projection start button is provided on the car key, the projection start button being depressible to activate the projection device.
Optionally, the method further comprises: the mobile terminal can establish communication connection with the vehicle and set the character and/or image information projected by the projection device.
Optionally, the mobile terminal establishes a communication connection with the vehicle through near field communication or a mobile communication network.
Optionally, the projection device is provided at the roof and/or front windshield of the vehicle.
Optionally, the projection device is capable of projecting above the vehicle and/or projecting forward of the vehicle.
Optionally, an adjusting button is arranged on the car key to adjust the projection direction of the projection device.
Optionally, the projection device is a laser projection lamp.
Optionally, the text and/or image information is text and/or an image of a license plate of the vehicle.
The method for finding a vehicle of the embodiment of the invention has at least the following advantages:
by adopting the method, when a user of the vehicle needs to find the vehicle, the communication connection can be established with the vehicle through the vehicle key to activate the projection equipment on the vehicle to project the text and/or image information, so that the user of the vehicle can judge the position of the vehicle according to the seen text and/or image information and find the vehicle.
Drawings
Fig. 1 shows a flow chart of a method for finding a vehicle according to an embodiment of the invention.
Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of, and enabling description for, those skilled in the art. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details. Furthermore, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described. Rather, any combination of the features and elements described below is contemplated as carrying out the invention, whether or not they relate to different embodiments. Thus, the following aspects, features, embodiments and advantages are merely illustrative and are not considered elements or limitations of the claims except where explicitly recited in a claim.
Fig. 1 shows a flow chart of a method for finding a vehicle according to an embodiment of the invention. The method comprises the following steps:
step S101, the vehicle key establishes communication connection with the vehicle to activate the projection device on the vehicle.
Step S102, the projection device projects the text and/or image information, so that the user of the vehicle can judge the position of the vehicle and find the vehicle according to the text and/or image information.
By using the method of the invention, when a user of the vehicle needs to find the vehicle, the user can establish communication connection with the vehicle through the vehicle key to activate the projection equipment on the vehicle to project the text and/or image information, so that the user of the vehicle can judge the position of the vehicle according to the seen text and/or image information and find the vehicle.
A projection start button may be provided on the vehicle key, and when a user of the vehicle seeks the vehicle, the projection start button may be pressed to activate a projection device on the vehicle, so that the projection device projects text and/or image information. The presence of a nearby vehicle key may also be automatically detected by the vehicle to activate a projection device on the vehicle.
In addition, a communication connection can be established with the vehicle through a mobile terminal (such as a smart phone or other intelligent terminal devices) carried by a user of the vehicle, so as to set the outgoing text and/or image information projected by the projection device. For example, a corresponding APP can be installed on a smart phone or other smart terminals, and text and/or image information displayed by the projection device is set through the APP, so as to achieve customer customization. The text and/or image information displayed by the projection device may be text and/or images of a license plate of the vehicle, or may be any suitable information with identification selected by a user of the vehicle, without departing from the scope of the present invention. The text and/or image information may also be a favorite landscape or cartoon image picture selected by the user of the vehicle, for example.
The mobile terminal carried by the user of the vehicle may establish a communication connection with the vehicle through near field communication (e.g., bluetooth or Wifi) or a mobile communication network (e.g., a 4G or 5G network), without departing from the scope of the present invention.
The projection device may be arranged on the roof of the vehicle, for example at a sunroof. The projection device may also be arranged at the front windscreen of the vehicle, for example at or near the centre of the upper edge of the front windscreen. The projection device may also be arranged at the rear windscreen of the vehicle. The projection device may also be arranged on a rear view mirror of a vehicle. The projection device may project upward of the vehicle, may project forward of the vehicle, or may project rearward of the vehicle through a rear windshield. The projection device may also be located elsewhere on the vehicle and project in any suitable direction without departing from the scope of the invention. The projection device may further include a rotating device to adjust a projection direction of the projection device, and a plurality of projection devices may be provided to project in a plurality of directions. It is possible to use the already existing rotating means of the vehicle, for example to arrange the projection device at a rear view mirror, for example in front of the mirror, and to use the rotation of the mirror to adjust the projection direction. A separate motor may also be provided. The projection device may be located near other powered devices of the vehicle to facilitate placement of the power supply line. The projection device may also have an independent power source, such as a lithium battery (wired or wireless charging) or a solar cell.
The car key can be provided with a corresponding adjusting button to adjust the projection direction of the projection device. For example, in a ceiling-based parking lot, a user of a vehicle may control the projection device to project upward by using a vehicle key to project text and/or image information on the ceiling of the parking lot. In a car park without a ceiling, a user of a vehicle can control a projection device to project to the front of the vehicle through a vehicle key so as to project text and/or image information on the ground in front of the vehicle. When the vehicle head is parked inwards, the vehicle can be projected to the rear of the vehicle.
The projection device may be a laser projection lamp. The projection device may also be any suitable projection device, and such variations do not depart from the scope of the present invention.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it is not to be limited thereto. Various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this disclosure, and it is intended that the scope of the present invention be defined by the appended claims.
