Fig. 1 shows an exemplary system architecture 100 to which embodiments of the method for controlling a vehicle or the apparatus for controlling a vehicle of the present application may be applied.

As shown in fig. 1, the system architecture 100 may include a vehicle 101,

servers

102, 103, and

home devices

104, 105.

The vehicle 101 may be various smart vehicles having an in-vehicle terminal, including but not limited to a fuel automobile, an electric automobile, and the like. The vehicle-mounted terminal can receive the control instruction sent by the server 102 and can control the vehicle 101 to execute the control instruction.

The server 102 may be a server that provides various services, for example, a cloud server that supports control of the vehicle 101. The server 102 may convert the received user instruction into a control instruction for controlling the vehicle 101, and transmit the control instruction to the in-vehicle terminal of the vehicle 101.

The server 103 may also be a server providing various services, for example, a third-party server providing support for communication between the server 102 and the third-party home devices 105. The server 103 may forward the user instruction sent by the third-party home device 105 to the server 102.

The home devices 104 may be smart homes capable of communicating with the server 102 in a predetermined communication protocol, including but not limited to: intelligent audio amplifier, intelligent TV, intelligent refrigerator, intelligent air conditioner etc.. Home device 104 may interact with a user (e.g., voice interaction, touch interaction, etc.) to obtain user instructions.

The third-party home devices 105 may be smart homes that cannot directly communicate with the server 102 in a predetermined communication protocol, including but not limited to: intelligent audio amplifier, intelligent TV, intelligent refrigerator, intelligent air conditioner etc.. The third party home device 105 may interact with the user (e.g., voice interaction, touch interaction, etc.) to obtain the user instruction.

It should be understood that the system architecture 100 may not include the home device 104 or the third party home device 105. When the system architecture 100 does not include the third-party home device 105, the system architecture 100 may not include the third-party server 103.

It should be noted that the method for controlling the vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application may be executed by an in-vehicle terminal of the vehicle 101, may be executed by the service end 102, and may also be executed by the

home devices

104 and 105, and accordingly, the apparatus for controlling the vehicle may be disposed in the in-vehicle terminal of the vehicle 101, may be disposed in the service end 102, and may also be disposed in the

home devices

104 and 105.

It should be understood that the number of vehicles, vehicle terminals, servers, and home devices in fig. 1 is merely illustrative. Any suitable number of vehicles, vehicle-mounted terminals, servers and home equipment may be provided as desired for implementation.

With continued reference to FIG. 2, a flow 200 of one embodiment of a method for controlling a vehicle according to the present application is shown. The method for controlling a vehicle may be applied to a server, which may include the steps of:

step 201, receiving a first user instruction sent by a home device.

In this embodiment, an executing subject (e.g., the server 102 in fig. 1) of the method for controlling a vehicle may receive a first user instruction sent by a home device (e.g., the

home devices

104 and 105 in fig. 1). The first user instruction may be obtained by the home device in response to an operation of the user. Here, the first user instruction may be an instruction in a text format or an instruction in a non-text format.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the operation by the user may include at least one of: voice input, touch input, gesture input, image input, and the like. For example, a voice command issued by the user, a touch operation of the home device by the user, a gesture made by the user, an image provided by the user representing a specific user instruction, and the like.

In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, the first user instruction may be encrypted before being sent. For example, the home device encrypts the first user instruction first, and then sends the first user instruction to the server, and the server decrypts the received encrypted information to obtain the first user instruction.

Step 202, converting the first user command into a first control command for controlling the vehicle.

In the present embodiment, the executing entity (e.g., the service end 102 of fig. 1) of the method for controlling the vehicle may convert the first user instruction received in step 201 into a first control instruction. Wherein the first control instruction may be an instruction adapted to be executed by the vehicle.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, step 202 may include: if the first user instruction is an instruction in a text format, the first user instruction can be directly converted into a first control instruction. That is, for the first user instruction in the text format, the execution main body may directly convert the first user instruction into the first control instruction.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, step 202 may further include: if the first user instruction is an instruction in a non-text format, analyzing the first user instruction to obtain an instruction in a text format; and converting the instruction in the text format into a first control instruction. That is, for the first user instruction in the non-text format, the execution main body may convert the first user instruction in the non-text format into the instruction in the text format, and then convert the instruction in the text format into the first control instruction.

As an example, the first user instruction is an instruction in a voice format, and the instruction in the voice format may be subjected to voice recognition to obtain corresponding text content as the instruction in the text format, and then the instruction in the text format is converted into the first control instruction.

The first user instruction in the non-text format may include, but is not limited to: voice instructions, gesture instructions, image instructions, and the like. For the voice command, the voice command can be converted into a corresponding text command by adopting a voice recognition technology. For the gesture instruction, a gesture recognition technology can be adopted to convert the gesture instruction into a corresponding text instruction. And for the image command, the image command can be converted into a corresponding text command by adopting an image recognition technology.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the identification information of the home device may be associated with identity information of the user. For example, before step 201, a user uses a mobile terminal (e.g., a smart phone) to scan a two-dimensional code displayed on a home device, and after authentication, the identification information of the home device is associated with the identity information of the user (i.e., the home device is bound to the user). The identity information of the user may be account information of the user, such as an identification number, a mobile phone number, and the like. The identification information of the home equipment may be information such as a serial number of the home equipment.

Corresponding to this implementation, step 202 may include:

firstly, identity information of a user is obtained. Here, the identity information of the user may be obtained by the server from the home device alone, or may be obtained from the home device together with the first user instruction.

And secondly, performing user authentication based on the identity information to determine whether the user issuing the first user instruction has the authority to control the vehicle.

Third, in response to the authentication being successful (i.e., the first user command is issued by the authorized user), the first user command may be converted into a first control command.

The safety of controlling the vehicle is improved by obtaining the identity information of the user to authenticate the user.

Step 203, the first control instruction is sent to the vehicle-mounted terminal in the vehicle.

In this embodiment, an executing entity (e.g., the service end 102 in fig. 1) of the method for controlling the vehicle may transmit the first control instruction obtained by converting in step 202 to an on-board terminal in the vehicle (e.g., the vehicle 101 in fig. 1), so that the on-board terminal controls the vehicle to execute the first control instruction (e.g., the on-board terminal transmits the first control instruction to a corresponding hardware device in the vehicle through a car bus such as a CAN bus, a LIN bus, etc., and the corresponding hardware device executes the first control instruction).

In some alternative implementations of the present embodiment, the first control instruction may be encrypted before being sent. For example, the server side encrypts the first control instruction and then sends the first control instruction to the vehicle-mounted terminal, and the vehicle-mounted terminal decrypts the received encrypted information to obtain the first control instruction.

By encrypting the first user instruction and the first control instruction, the privacy information of the user can be ensured not to be leaked.

In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, the method for controlling a vehicle may further include: receiving a feedback result of the vehicle-mounted terminal controlling the vehicle to execute the first control instruction; and returning the feedback result to the household equipment so that the household equipment can inform the feedback result to the user. By receiving the feedback information for executing the first control instruction and informing the user, the user can know the control condition of the vehicle in time.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the method for controlling a vehicle may further include the step of controlling the home device by the vehicle. Specifically, the method for controlling a vehicle may further include the steps of:

in the first step, the server side can receive a second user instruction sent by the vehicle-mounted terminal. And prompting the user to issue the second user instruction in response to the detection that the vehicle enters/exits the geo-fence area by the vehicle-mounted terminal. Here, geofence may refer to a virtual geofence enclosed using a virtual fence, and a geofenced area may refer to a geographic area within the virtual geofence. The geo-fenced area can be a pre-established geographic area. The server can detect whether the vehicle enters/exits the geo-fenced area by locating the vehicle or sensing environmental information around the vehicle.

The second user instruction, similar to the first user instruction, may be an instruction in a text format or may be an instruction in a non-text format. For example, the second user instruction may be a text instruction corresponding to the touch operation, which is obtained by the in-vehicle terminal detecting the touch operation of the user, or the second user instruction may be a text instruction obtained by the in-vehicle terminal after analyzing an instruction issued by the user in a voice form. The second user instruction can also be a voice instruction formed by directly encapsulating an instruction issued by the user in a voice form by the vehicle-mounted terminal.

In the second step, the server can convert the second user instruction into a second control instruction. The second control instruction may be an instruction suitable for the household device to execute. The specific steps of the server converting the second user instruction into the second control instruction are similar to the specific steps of the server converting the first user instruction into the first control instruction, and are not described herein again.

And thirdly, the server side can send the second control instruction to the household equipment, so that the household equipment can execute the second control instruction.

This implementation has realized through vehicle control house equipment.

In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, the method for controlling a vehicle may further include: receiving a feedback result of the household equipment executing the second control instruction; and returning the feedback result to the vehicle-mounted terminal so that the vehicle-mounted terminal can inform the user of the feedback result.

With continued reference to FIG. 3, one application scenario for a method for controlling a vehicle according to the present application is shown. In the application scenario shown in fig. 3, the user 304 wants to drive out, and then issues a voice command "start car" to the smart refrigerator 303. The smart refrigerator 303 receives the voice command through a microphone, and then performs voice recognition on the voice command through a voice recognition module (built in the smart refrigerator 303, not shown), so as to obtain a user instruction "start car" in a text format. The smart refrigerator 303 encrypts the user instruction in the text format using an AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) Encryption technology, and sends the encrypted user instruction to the cloud server 302. The cloud server 302 first decrypts the received encrypted information to obtain a user instruction in a text format, converts the user instruction in the text format into a control instruction (for example, an automobile start instruction "# START VEHICLE") executable by the vehicle 301, then encrypts the control instruction by using the AES technology, and sends the encrypted information to a vehicle-mounted terminal (not shown) of the vehicle 301. The vehicle-mounted terminal decrypts the received encrypted information to obtain a control instruction, then controls the vehicle to execute the control instruction through a vehicle bus such as a CAN bus and a LIN bus, and receives an execution result of the control instruction through the vehicle bus as feedback information to be returned to the intelligent refrigerator 303 through the cloud server 302. The smart refrigerator 303 informs the user that the car is started up through voice prompt.

According to the method for controlling the vehicle, the user instruction sent by the household equipment is received, then the user instruction is converted into the control instruction for controlling the vehicle, and then the control instruction is sent to the vehicle-mounted terminal, so that the vehicle is controlled by the vehicle-mounted terminal to execute the control instruction, and the vehicle is controlled by the household equipment.

With further reference to FIG. 4, a flow 400 of another embodiment of a method for controlling a vehicle according to the present application is shown. The method for controlling a vehicle may be applied to a home device, which may include the steps of:

step 401, a user instruction is obtained.

In the present embodiment, an execution subject (e.g.,

home devices

104, 105 of fig. 1) of the method for controlling a vehicle may acquire a user instruction. The user instruction may be used to indicate control of a vehicle (e.g., vehicle 101 of fig. 1), among other things. Here, the user command may be a command in a text format or a command in a non-text format.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, step 401 may include: and responding to the detected touch operation of the user on the household equipment, and acquiring a text format instruction corresponding to the touch operation as a user instruction.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, step 401 may include: acquiring a command (such as a voice command) which is sent by a user and is not in a text format; analyzing the instruction in the non-text format to obtain the instruction in the text format; and if the analysis is successful, determining the analyzed instruction in the text format as a user instruction.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, step 401 may further include: and if the analysis fails, packaging the instruction in the non-text format into a user instruction.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, parsing the instruction in the non-text format may include: and calling a cloud instruction analysis module to analyze the instruction in the non-text format. For example, if the home device cannot analyze the voice instruction, the third-party cloud voice recognition module may be called to analyze the voice instruction, so as to obtain a user instruction in a text format.

Step 402, sending the user instruction to the server.

In this embodiment, an executing subject (e.g., the

home devices

104 and 105 of fig. 1) of the method for controlling the vehicle may transmit the user instruction acquired in step 401 to a server (e.g., the server 102 of fig. 1).

Wherein the server may be configured to: converting the user command into a control command for controlling the vehicle; and sending the control instruction to a vehicle-mounted terminal in the vehicle so that the vehicle-mounted terminal controls the vehicle to execute the control instruction.

Here, the home devices may be free-branded home devices. The home equipment of the free brand refers to home equipment which can directly communicate with a server through a preset communication protocol.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the home devices may also be third-party brands of home devices. Here, the third-party brand home equipment refers to home equipment that cannot directly communicate with the server. Corresponding to this implementation, step 402 may specifically include: and sending the user instruction to a third party gateway. Wherein the third party gateway may be configured to: and sending the user instruction to the server.

For example, for a third-party brand home device, the solution of this embodiment may provide a set of Development components (e.g., interfaces and services of an SDK (Software Development Kit) Development Kit and an Open Application Programming Interface (API)), so that a third-party brand manufacturer and a research organization can conveniently build a third-party gateway/server, and communication between the third-party brand home device and a server is realized, thereby facilitating building of the third-party brand home device and the free-brand home device together into an intelligent home hardware ecology, and providing a better service for a user.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the server may be further configured to: and receiving a feedback result of the vehicle-mounted terminal controlling the vehicle to execute the control instruction. Corresponding to the implementation, the method for controlling a vehicle may further include: receiving a feedback result returned by the server; and informing the feedback result to the user.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, notifying the user of the feedback result may include: and informing the feedback result to the user in the form of voice playing and/or screen display.

According to the method for controlling the vehicle, the user instruction is obtained and sent to the server side, so that the server side converts the user instruction into the control instruction and then sends the control instruction to the vehicle-mounted terminal, the vehicle-mounted terminal can control the vehicle to execute the control instruction, and the vehicle is controlled through the household equipment.

step 501, receiving a control instruction sent by a server.

In the present embodiment, an execution subject of the method for controlling a vehicle (e.g., an in-vehicle terminal in the vehicle 101 of fig. 1) may receive a control instruction transmitted by a service terminal (e.g., the service terminal 102 of fig. 1). The control instruction may be obtained by converting a user instruction received from a home device (e.g.,

home devices

104 and 105 in fig. 1) by the service end. The user instruction may be obtained by the home device in response to an operation of the user.

And step 502, controlling the vehicle to execute the control command.

In the present embodiment, an execution subject of the method for controlling a vehicle (e.g., an in-vehicle terminal in the vehicle 101 of fig. 1) may control the vehicle to execute the control instruction received in step 501. For example, the in-vehicle terminal transmits a control instruction to a corresponding hardware device in the vehicle through a car bus such as a CAN bus, a LIN bus, or the like, and the control instruction is executed by the corresponding hardware device.

In some optional implementation manners of the embodiment, a front gateway for communicating with the server side can be built in the vehicle-mounted terminal.
