One aspect of the invention relates to a vehicle operation method. The first processing device can determine attributes of an electronic fence where the vehicle is located according to the acquired vehicle position, and generate instructions for controlling the vehicle and/or reminding a vehicle user based on the attributes.

FIG. 1 is an exemplary flow chart of a method of operating a vehicle according to some embodiments of the present application. One or more operations of the flow 100 for vehicle operation shown in fig. 1 may be performed by a first processing device 800. As shown in fig. 1, the process 100 may include the following operations.

At step 110, a first position of the vehicle is obtained. In some embodiments, step 110 may be performed by the first obtaining module 810.

In some embodiments, the vehicle may be an automobile or a non-automobile, including but not limited to an automobile, a bus, a bicycle, an electric bicycle, a motorcycle, an electric vehicle, a tractor, a passenger car, a train, a motor car, a high-speed rail, a ship, an airplane, a hot air balloon, an unmanned vehicle, a van bicycle, a tricycle, a cart, a wheelchair, an animal drawn vehicle, and the like, or any combination thereof. The vehicle may be a vehicle for sharing an trip system. In some embodiments, the first location may be a location of the vehicle at the present time. The vehicle can be provided with equipment with a positioning function or is internally provided with a positioning module, and the positioning module can be communicated with a satellite positioning system to acquire the positioning position of the vehicle. In some embodiments, when the user uses the terminal device to use the vehicle through the shared rental, the first location may also be a terminal location reported by the terminal device. The terminal equipment can also be provided with a positioning module, and the position is positioned through the positioning module. As used herein, a satellite positioning system may include Global Positioning System (GPS), GLONASS satellite navigation system (GLONASS), BeiDou navigation system (BeiDou), Galileo satellite navigation positioning system (Galileo), quasi-zenith satellite system (QZSS), wireless fidelity (WiFi) positioning technology, base station positioning technology, and the like, or any combination thereof. One or more of the above-described positioning systems may be used interchangeably in this application. In some embodiments, the first location may be represented in geographic coordinates, for example, the first location may be represented in latitude and longitude coordinates.

And step 120, determining the electronic fence where the vehicle is located and the attribute of the electronic fence based on the first position. In some embodiments, step 120 may be performed by determination module 820.

In some embodiments, the electronic fence may be a virtual boundary bounded by one or more virtual fences. An electronic fence can correspond to an enclosed area, which can be a polygonal geometric area of arbitrary shape. In some embodiments, the electronic fence may be represented as a set of latitude and longitude coordinates of points arranged in a certain rule. For example, the electronic fence can be represented by a longitude and latitude coordinate set formed by sorting points on the boundary in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. In some embodiments, the electronic fence may be determined based on road network data of a city in which the vehicle is located. For example, at least one closed region may be divided based on the road network data, and coordinates of two or more points on the boundary of the closed region may be determined. Further, the coordinates can be sorted, and the electronic fence can be generated based on the sorting result. The sorting may be determining a connection order between points corresponding to the coordinates. For a detailed description of the electronic fence, reference may be made to other parts of the present application (e.g., fig. 3 and 4), which are not described herein again. In some embodiments, the determining module 820 may determine which electronic fence the first location of the vehicle is located in by determining which of the acquired longitude and latitude coordinates of the first location falls within the area represented by the longitude and latitude coordinate set of which electronic fence.

In some embodiments, the electronic fence may have one or more attributes including, but not limited to, vehicle ringing (e.g., automatic ringing, continuous ringing, phase ringing preset time, etc.), voice announcement, flashing of headlights, power off, lock off, wheel locking, lock allowed, lock not allowed, car return not allowed, toll free and toll criteria, and the like, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, attributes of the electronic fence may further be used to control vehicle operation and/or direct user behavior. For example, attributes such as vehicle ringing, voice announcements, flashing headlights, etc. may be used to alert the user to guide the user's behavior; power failure, locking, wheel locking, locking permission, locking non-permission and the like can be used for controlling the vehicle to run; the car return allowed, car return not allowed, charge, no charge and charge criteria, etc. may be used to define the operating strategy of the vehicle in different areas.

In some embodiments, different functional electronic fences may be set based on attributes of the electronic fence. For example, the different-function electronic fence may include a parking spot for parking, an operating area for restricting a user's riding area, an active area, a coupon available area, an area that does not collect a transportation fee, a half-rate or other charging manner area, and the like, or suitable combinations thereof.

And step 130, generating a first operation instruction for controlling the vehicle and/or a first reminding instruction for reminding based on the attribute of the electronic fence. In some embodiments, step 130 may be performed by control module 830.

In some embodiments, the first operation instruction may include a continuous ringing, a ringing preset time, a broadcast voice, a continuous flashing of a head lamp, a flashing of the head lamp for a preset time, a power failure, locking, wheel locking, allowing locking, disallowing locking, allowing returning, disallowing returning, charging according to a preset manner, and the like, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the first alert instruction may include a short message alert, a telephone voice alert, or the like, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the control module 830 can send the first operation instruction and the first reminder instruction simultaneously. For example, in an area where a car is not allowed to return, the attributes of the current electronic fence may have a combination of not allowing a car to return, continuously ringing, broadcasting voice, continuously flashing headlights, charging according to a preset mode, short message reminding, and the like. When detecting that the vehicle is locked in the current area, the control module 830 may send an instruction to cause the vehicle to continuously ring, continuously flash the head lamp, perform voice broadcast (for example, broadcast that the vehicle is not allowed to return to the location, and the vehicle will continue to perform time counting and billing) and perform billing according to a preset mode, and send a short message prompt to the client to guide the user to stop at the recommended parking spot.

In some embodiments, the control module 830 may send instructions to the vehicle or user terminal over a network. In some embodiments, the network may be any type of wired or wireless network, and may include, but is not limited to, a cable network, a wired network, a fiber optic network, a telecommunications network, an intranet, the internet, a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), a bluetooth network, a ZigBee network, a Near Field Communication (NFC) network, and the like, or any combination thereof.

It should be noted that the above description relating to the process 100 is only for illustration and explanation, and does not limit the applicable scope of the present application. Various modifications and changes to flow 100 will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of this disclosure. However, such modifications and variations are intended to be within the scope of the present application.

FIG. 2 is an exemplary flow chart of another vehicle operation method according to some embodiments of the present application. One or more operations of the flow 200 for vehicle operation shown in fig. 2 may be performed by the first processing device 800. As shown in fig. 2, the process 200 may include the following operations.

And step 210, acquiring a second position of the vehicle after a preset time period. In some embodiments, step 210 may be performed by the first obtaining module 810.

In some embodiments, the preset time period may refer to a time period reasonably close to the current time. For example, the preset time period may be 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or the like. In some embodiments, the first obtaining module 810 may automatically determine the preset time period. For example, the first obtaining module 810 may automatically determine the preset time period according to a range of the electronic fence in which the vehicle is located (e.g., a perimeter, an area, etc. of an enclosed area forming the electronic fence). The preset time period can be automatically prolonged in the electronic fence with a larger range, and can be automatically shortened in the electronic fence with a smaller range. In some embodiments, the preset time period may be set manually.

In some embodiments, the second location may be a location of the vehicle after a preset period of time from the current time. In some embodiments, the first obtaining module 810 may determine the second location by using positioning information reported by the vehicle and/or the user terminal. The first obtaining module 810 may further estimate the second position based on a first position, a speed, an acceleration, a moving direction, and the like of the vehicle at the current time. In some embodiments, the second location may be in the same electronic fence as the first location. In some embodiments, the second location may be in a different electronic fence than the first location.

Step 220, determining whether the second position is located outside the electronic fence. In some embodiments, step 220 may be performed by determination module 820.

In some embodiments, the second location may be represented in geographic coordinates, for example, the second location may be represented in latitude and longitude coordinates. In some embodiments, the determining module 820 may determine whether the second location is outside the area represented by the set of longitude and latitude coordinates of the electronic fence based on the longitude and latitude coordinates of the second location. If the second location is outside the electronic fence, process 200 may proceed to 230. Otherwise, the process 200 ends and returns to step 130 in the process 100.

Step 230, in response to the second position being outside the electronic fence, generating a second operation instruction for controlling the vehicle and/or a second reminding instruction for reminding based on the attribute of the electronic fence. In some embodiments, step 230 may be performed by control module 830.

In some embodiments, when it is determined that the second location of the vehicle is outside the electronic fence, the control module 830 may generate a second operation instruction for controlling the vehicle and/or a second alert instruction for alerting based on the attribute of the electronic fence. In some embodiments, the second execution instruction and the second reminder instruction may be similar to the first execution instruction and the first reminder instruction. The second operation instruction may include a continuous ringing bell, a ringing preset time, a broadcast voice, a continuous flashing of a head lamp, a flashing preset time of the head lamp, a power failure, locking, wheel locking, locking permission, locking non-permission, returning non-permission, charging according to a preset mode, and the like or any combination thereof. The second reminding instruction can comprise a short message reminding, a telephone voice reminding and the like or any combination thereof. For example only, it is assumed that the electronic fence is an operating area and a non-operating area is outside the electronic fence. Upon detecting that the vehicle is about to exit the electronic fence (i.e., the first location is within the electronic fence), the control module 830 can send a voice-over command (e.g., will leave the operating area 50 meters later) to alert the user; when it is detected that the vehicle exits the electronic fence (i.e., the second position is located outside the electronic fence), the control module 830 may continue to send the power-off command, so that the vehicle stops supplying power; when it is detected that the vehicle continues to exit the electronic fence beyond a threshold distance (e.g., 100 meters, 500 meters, etc.), the control module 830 may send a lock, wheel lock, etc. instruction to interrupt vehicle operation so that the user cannot ride the vehicle too far out of the operating area.

Fig. 3 is an exemplary flow chart of a method of determining an electronic fence according to some embodiments of the present application. One or more operations of the flow 300 for determining an electronic fence illustrated in fig. 3 may be performed by the first processing device 800. In some embodiments, the flow 300 may be performed by the generation module 840. As shown in fig. 3, the process 300 may include the following operations.

In step 310, the operation area of the vehicle is divided into a plurality of minimum closed areas.

In some embodiments, the operation area may refer to a range of areas that may be used by vehicles sharing the travel system, including administrative areas (e.g., an entire city area sharing travel service operations, a municipality area under a city, etc.), geographic areas (e.g., an area within a certain radius of a specified central location), etc., or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the generation module 840 may divide the operation area based on the road network data of the operation area. The generating module 840 may draw a line along the roads and/or the geographic signs in the road network data to obtain a separation line, form one or more closed regions with the separation line as a boundary, and further determine whether the one or more closed regions are the minimum closed region. The generating module 840 may further take points along roads and/or geographic landmarks in the road network as separation points, obtain line segments based on the separation points (for example, by direct connection between the direct separation points or by smooth fitting), form one or more closed regions with the line segments as boundaries, and further determine whether the one or more closed regions are the minimum closed region. In some embodiments, the minimum closed region may refer to a region whose area is smaller than a preset threshold after being divided. The preset threshold may be a default value of the first processing device 800, for example, 1.5 square kilometers, and may also be adjusted according to different application scenarios, which is not specifically limited in this application. In some embodiments, the minimum closed region may refer to a closed region that does not include a line inside that has two or more intersections with all region boundaries. For example, if there is no connection line within a certain closed region, it may be determined that the closed region may be the smallest closed region. For another example, if there are one or more lines in a certain closed region, but each line in the closed region has no intersection point or only one intersection point with the boundary of the closed region, and the closed region is not divided into two or more closed regions, it may be determined that the closed region is the minimum closed region. In some embodiments, the generation module 840 may determine whether the closed region is the minimum closed region according to the region area of the closed region, or according to whether there are two or more intersection lines or connecting lines between the inside of the closed region and all the region boundaries. If the enclosed area is determined to be the minimum enclosed area, process 300 may proceed to 320. Otherwise, the generation module 630 may continue to divide the enclosed area.

And step 320, determining a minimum electronic fence corresponding to each minimum closed area.

In some embodiments, the generation module 840 may determine the minimum electronic fence based on the intersection of the separation lines that make up the minimum enclosed area. The generation module 840 may sort the coordinates of the intersection points after determining the intersection points and the coordinates of the intersection points of the separation lines, and generate the electronic fence based on the sorted result. The sorting result may include the serial number of the intersection point and the longitude and latitude thereof. The sequence number may be a connection order of the corresponding intersection points when the minimum electronic fence is formed. Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic view of an intersection between a minimum enclosed area and a partition line constituting the minimum enclosed area according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in fig. 10, the dividing lines constituting the minimum closed region have four intersections, an upper left intersection a, a lower left intersection B, a lower right intersection C, and an upper right intersection D. The sequence number may be (1A, 2B, 3C, 4D), (1A, 2D, 3C, 4B), (1A, 2C, 3B, 4D), and so on. The determination module 620 may sequentially connect A, B, C, D the four points in order of number, e.g., by (1A, 2B, 3C, 4D), to form an electronic fence with a virtual boundary coinciding with the boundary of the corresponding enclosed area. In some embodiments, the minimum electronic fence can be displayed in a variety of forms. For example, the generation module 840 may generate a coordinate list based on the sorting result, and the minimum electronic fence may be displayed in the form of the coordinate list. For another example, the generating module 840 may directly generate the corresponding area in the road network map based on the sorting result, and the minimum electronic fence may be displayed on the map in the form of the area. For another example, the generation module 840 may generate the corresponding region based on the longitude and latitude of the sorted coordinates of the intersection point, and the minimum electronic fence may be displayed on the map in the form of the region.

At step 330, one or more electronic fences are generated based on the plurality of smallest electronic fences.

In some embodiments, the generation module 840 may select two or more minimum electronic fences according to a preset rule to combine and generate one or more electronic fences. In some embodiments, the preset rule may be to determine whether two or more adjacent minimum electronic fences have the same and/or similar attributes. In some embodiments, the preset rule may be to determine whether two minimum electronic fences have a common boundary. In some embodiments, the preset rule may be to determine whether two minimum electronic fences have a common boundary and the same and/or similar attributes. For a detailed description of generating one or more electronic fences based on a plurality of minimum electronic fences, refer to fig. 4 and the description thereof, which are not repeated herein.

Fig. 4 is an exemplary flow diagram for generating one or more electronic fences based on a plurality of smallest electronic fences, according to some embodiments of the present application. One or more operations of the flow 400 for generating one or more electronic fences based on a plurality of smallest electronic fences, shown in fig. 4, can be performed by the first processing device 800. In some embodiments, flow 400 may be performed by generation module 840. As shown in fig. 4, the flow 400 may include the following operations.

Step 410, determine whether the minimum enclosed area corresponding to the two minimum electronic fences has a shared boundary.

In some embodiments, the common boundary may refer to a separation line or a line segment composed of separation points that constitute a boundary of minimum closed areas corresponding to two or more electronic fences. If the minimum enclosure areas corresponding to the two minimum electronic fences have a common boundary, the process 400 proceeds to 420. Otherwise, the generation module 840 cannot merge the two smallest electronic fences into one electronic fence.

Step 420, in response to that the minimum closed areas corresponding to the two minimum electronic fences have a shared boundary, determining whether the two minimum closed areas form a new closed area after the shared boundary is removed.

In some embodiments, after removing the common dividing line or the common dividing point, the generation module 840 may obtain all the remaining dividing lines or the dividing points constituting the two smallest electronic fences after removing the common dividing line or the common dividing point. The generation module 840 may further determine whether the new polygon area is a closed polygon area based on the new polygon area formed by all the remaining dividing lines or dividing points. If the new polygon area is a closed polygon area, the process 400 may proceed to step 430. Otherwise, the generation module 840 cannot merge the two smallest electronic fences to generate a new electronic fence.

Step 430, in response to the two minimum enclosing areas being able to form a new enclosing area, combining the two minimum electronic fences into one electronic fence.

In some embodiments, in response to that two minimum closed regions can constitute a new closed region, the generation module 840 may determine a separation line or a line segment composed of separation points forming the new closed region, and acquire coordinates of separation line intersection points or separation points, sort the coordinates of the separation line intersection points or separation points, and generate a new electronic fence based on the sorting result. Referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is a schematic view of an electronic fence incorporation according to some embodiments of the present application. Two electronic fences, EFI and FGHI, are shown in fig. 11. The generation module 840 can determine whether the two electronic fences have a common boundary (i.e., a common dividing line). Because the two electronic fences have a shared boundary FI, the generation module 840 may continue to determine whether the separation line between the points E, G, H can form a new closed region after FI is removed. Based on the scoring, it can be determined that region EGH is an enclosed region, then generation module 840 can merge the fence EFI and FGHI into a new fence EGH. For a detailed description of generating the closed region based on the separation line or the separation point, reference may be made to fig. 3 and the description thereof, which are not repeated herein.

In some embodiments, the generation module 840 can also determine whether the two smallest electronic fences can be merged to form an electronic fence based on the attributes of the electronic fences. The generation module 840 can determine whether the two smallest electronic fences have the same and/or similar attributes. If two smallest electronic fences have the same and/or similar attributes, the generation module 840 can merge the two smallest electronic fences into an electronic fence. For example, assuming that the attributes of the two smallest electronic fences are both charged, the generation module 840 may determine whether the two smallest electronic fences have the same charging standard, and if the two smallest electronic fences have the same charging standard, the generation module 840 may further determine to merge the two smallest electronic fences into an electronic fence.

It should be noted that the above description related to the flow 400 is only for illustration and explanation, and does not limit the applicable scope of the present application. Various modifications and changes to flow 400 may occur to those skilled in the art in light of the teachings herein. However, such modifications and variations are intended to be within the scope of the present application.

FIG. 5 is an exemplary flow chart of a vehicle monitoring method according to some embodiments of the present application. One or more operations of the flow 500 for vehicle monitoring illustrated in fig. 5 may be performed by the first processing device 800. In some embodiments, the process 500 may be performed by the control module 830. As shown in fig. 5, the vehicle monitoring method may include:

Step 510, monitoring one or more electronic fences.

In some embodiments, the monitored electronic fence may be an electronic fence set with certain rules for operations management. In some embodiments, the rules may be set by a preset range. For example, the control module 830 may set the monitored electronic fences equidistant (e.g., 5 kilometers, 10 kilometers, 50 kilometers, etc.) along the roads in the road network. In some embodiments, the rules may be set at preset flow rates. For example, the control module 830 may count the user usage traffic data in the operating area based on historical orders of the shared travel system, setting one or more of the electronic fences in the operating area where user usage traffic is large as the monitored electronic fence. In some embodiments, the monitored electronic fence may have the same attributes as the electronic fence described above, based on which the corresponding instructions are issued when a vehicle enters or exits the monitoring electronic fence. In some embodiments, the monitored electronic fence may also have monitoring attributes for automatically monitoring vehicle data in real time or on a timed basis.

And step 520, monitoring the vehicle with the current position in the monitoring electronic fence to acquire the condition of the vehicle.

In some embodiments, the control module 830 can automatically obtain vehicle data located within the monitoring electronics fence for monitoring. The vehicle data may include usage data and/or performance data of vehicles within the monitored electronic fence. The usage data may include order quantity, travel path, travel time, payment, etc., or any combination thereof. The performance data may include remaining power, vehicle device status, and the like. In some embodiments, the control module 830 can also passively acquire vehicle data located within the monitoring electronics fence for monitoring. For example, after the user starts using the vehicle of the shared travel system or completes an order, the user terminal may actively submit vehicle data (e.g., insufficient electric quantity, damaged vehicle, unavailable vehicle, unsuccessful payment, etc.) to the shared travel system through the application program, and the control module 830 may acquire and/or analyze data sent by the user in real time or in a time-sharing manner to perform vehicle monitoring.

And step 530, generating a third operation instruction for controlling the vehicle and/or a third reminding instruction for reminding based on the monitoring result.

In some embodiments, the control module 830 may analyze vehicle conditions and generate monitoring results based on vehicle data automatically acquired and/or proactively submitted by a user. The monitoring results may include whether the vehicle requires maintenance, whether the vehicle is in an abnormal operation state, whether the vehicle equipment is operating normally, whether the vehicle power is sufficient, whether there is an unprocessed vehicle order, and the like. In some embodiments, the control module 830 may generate a corresponding third execution instruction and/or a third reminding instruction for reminding based on the monitoring result. The third operation instruction may be used to control the operation of the vehicle, for example, continuously ringing the bell, ringing the bell for a preset time, broadcasting voice, continuously flashing the head lamp, flashing the head lamp for a preset time, powering off, locking the wheels, allowing locking, not allowing locking, allowing returning the vehicle, not allowing returning the vehicle, charging according to a preset manner, and the like, or a suitable combination thereof. The third alert instruction may include a short message alert, a telephone voice alert, or the like, or a suitable combination thereof. For example, if the vehicle needs maintenance as a result of the monitoring, the third operation command may be an operation action such as powering off the vehicle, locking wheels, etc. to prevent the user from continuing to use the vehicle to be maintained, thereby avoiding an accident. For another example, if the monitoring result is that there is an unprocessed order, the third reminding instruction may be to notify the riding user and/or the vehicle administrator sharing the travel system by a short message reminding, a telephone voice reminding, or the like, so as to perform order and/or subsequent processing of the vehicle.

It should be noted that the above description related to the flow 500 is only for illustration and explanation, and does not limit the applicable scope of the present application. Various modifications and changes to flow 500 may occur to those skilled in the art upon review of the present application. However, such modifications and variations are intended to be within the scope of the present application.

One or more of the above-described positioning systems may be used interchangeably in this application.

In some embodiments, the current location may be reported over a network. The network may be any type of wired or wireless network. For example, the network may include a cable network, a wired network, a fiber optic network, a telecommunications network, an intranet, the internet, a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), a bluetooth network, a ZigBee network, a Near Field Communication (NFC) network, the like, or any combination thereof.

And step 620, receiving the operation instruction and/or the reminding instruction determined based on the current position. In some embodiments, step 620 may be performed by a communication module 920.

In some embodiments, the execution instructions include a first execution instruction and a second execution instruction, and the reminder instruction may include a first reminder instruction and a second reminder instruction. When the current position of the vehicle is located in a certain electronic fence, for example, the electronic fence where the current position of the vehicle is located is determined based on which latitude and longitude coordinate set of the electronic fence the latitude and longitude coordinate of the current position falls into, and the first processing device (for example, the control module 830) may determine the first operation instruction and/or the first reminding instruction based on the attribute of the electronic fence, and issue the first operation instruction and/or the first reminding instruction to the user terminal. The first instruction may include a continuous bell, preset bell time, broadcast voice, continuous flashing of the head lamp, preset flashing of the head lamp, power failure, locking, wheel locking, locking permission, locking non-permission, returning non-permission, charging according to a preset mode, and the like or a suitable combination thereof. In some embodiments, the first alert instruction may include a short message alert, a telephone voice alert, or the like, or a suitable combination thereof. When the current position of the vehicle is located outside a certain electronic fence, for example, it is determined based on the longitude and latitude coordinates of the current position that the current position is located outside an area represented by a longitude and latitude coordinate set of the certain electronic fence, and whether the vehicle is located outside the above electronic fence, the first processing device (for example, the control module 830) may determine the second operation instruction and/or the second reminding instruction based on the attribute of the above electronic fence, and issue the second operation instruction and/or the second reminding instruction to the user terminal. The second operation instruction and/or the second reminding instruction are similar to the first operation instruction and/or the second reminding instruction. In some embodiments, the operating instructions and/or reminder instructions may be sent over a network, including any type of wired or wireless network.

And step 630, controlling the vehicle and/or reminding the vehicle or the user based on the operation instruction and/or the reminding instruction. In some embodiments, step 630 may be performed by execution module 930.

In some embodiments, the vehicle user may be a vehicle user who may use the vehicle after determining the order for the vehicle by means of a rental over the internet using a user terminal. The vehicle user can also be a vehicle operation and maintenance person, and the vehicle operation and maintenance person can perform operation management and equipment maintenance on the vehicle through the user terminal. In some embodiments, the user terminal may control the vehicle and/or remind the vehicle user based on the operation instruction and/or the reminding instruction. For example, the electronic fence in which the vehicle is located needs to be charged according to a preset mode, and when the vehicle location is located in the current electronic fence, the user terminal may control the vehicle to ring for a preset time, flash for a preset time for a headlight, broadcast voice (for example, currently, a charging area, and a charge of 0.5 yuan per kilometer), and the like based on the operation instruction, so as to remind the user of the current charging mode. For another example, the electronic fence in which the vehicle is located is an operating area, and the outside of the electronic fence is a non-operating area. When it is detected that the vehicle is about to exit the electronic fence, the user terminal may perform a voice broadcast instruction (for example, will leave the operating area after 50 meters) to remind the user based on the reminding instruction; when the vehicle is detected to be driven out of the electronic fence, the user terminal can power off the vehicle based on the operation instruction; when it is detected that the vehicle continues to exit the electronic fence beyond a threshold distance (e.g., 100 meters, 500 meters, etc.), the user terminal may control wheel locking based on the operation instructions to interrupt vehicle operation so that the user cannot ride the vehicle too far out of the operation area.
