Description

Method, apparatus, device and medium for prompting for a forbidden road segment and program product

Technical Field

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to the field of intelligent transportation, and more particularly, to a collection method, apparatus, device, computer-readable storage medium, and computer program product for prompting for a prohibited road segment.

Background

The net car is an existing high-efficiency travel mode. When the passenger selects the network appointment service, the passenger can self-designate the boarding place. However, the boarding place designated by the passenger or the area in the vicinity thereof is likely to be prohibited from parking or may be temporarily parked only. Drivers staying in these locations for more than a certain amount of time are likely to be penalized for an illegal stop. This not only can cause a large amount of losses to net car booking platform, still can seriously influence the driver and to the use impression that the net car booking was used, can cause the power of transportation to run off when serious. Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a solution that alerts the driver to prevent the driver from stopping the vehicle on a no-stop road segment.

Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it is to be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein, but rather are provided for a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the disclosure are for illustration purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

In describing embodiments of the present disclosure, the terms "include" and its derivatives should be interpreted as being inclusive, i.e., "including but not limited to. The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The terms "first," "second," and the like may refer to different or the same object. Other explicit and implicit definitions are also possible below.

The terms "passenger", "passenger end", "vehicle occupant", "user terminal", and the like, as used herein, are interchangeable, and refer to a party that needs or orders a service, either individually or as a tool. Likewise, "driver," "driver-side," and the like, as described herein, are also interchangeable and refer to an individual, tool, or other entity, etc. that provides a service or assists in providing a service. In addition, a "user" as described herein may be a party that needs or subscribes to a service, or a party that provides or assists in providing a service.

As briefly described above, it is desirable to alert a user in a vehicle to prevent the user from stopping the vehicle at a no-stop road segment. In the conventional scheme, the user can be prompted by judging whether the docking point is a no-parking area to avoid punishment. However, the data shows that the location where the user is penalized is often near the location of the anchor point. For example, a user may change a predetermined stop point in an application for various reasons, resulting in inaccurate prompts based on the predetermined stop point, which in turn may cause a user violation.

In order to meet the requirements of reducing the loss of a network appointment platform (or other platform related to a journey) and improving the use experience of a user, the embodiments of the present disclosure propose a scheme for prompting a forbidden road section. According to the solution described herein, the stopping point to which the vehicle needs to reach is first determined. A prohibited road segment around the stopping point is then determined. And finally, if the vehicle is determined to be within a certain distance from the stop-forbidden road section, sending out a prompt related to the stop-forbidden road section. In this way, the user can be effectively prompted about the possible parking forbidding area, thereby reducing the probability of the user parking.

Fig. 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which various embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. FIG. 1 may include a mapping computing device 110, a waypoint 120, a prohibited road segment 130-1, 130-2, and 130-3 (hereinafter collectively referred to as a set of prohibited road segments 130), a vehicle 140, and a user interface 150. Although illustrated as one stop and three proscribed road segments, this is merely exemplary. There may also be multiple stops associated with the user's (e.g., passenger and driver) travel and a proscribed road segment in the vicinity thereof, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.

The computing device 110 shown in FIG. 1 may be any device with computing capabilities. In some embodiments, the computing device 110 may be a terminal device running a web appointment application (or other application associated with a trip). In this case, the computing device 110 may receive the waypoints 120 at which the vehicle 140 needs to stop for presentation to the user of the vehicle 140 in the user interface 150. By way of non-limiting example, the computing device 110 may be any type of stationary, mobile, or portable computing device, including but not limited to a desktop computer, laptop computer, notebook computer, netbook computer, tablet computer, multimedia computer, mobile phone, and the like.

In some embodiments, the computing device 110 may be a server associated with a network appointment application. In this case, the computing device 110 may provide a plurality of stops to the passenger side for the trip and indicate the determined stops to the user (driver) side when the passenger specifies a certain stop.

The stop 120 may be a location associated with a trip, such as a departure location, a destination, a stopover, and the like. The waypoint 120 may also correspond to an area having a range, such as a cell consisting of a plurality of buildings. In some embodiments, the computing device 110 may designate, for example, the north gate of the cell as a docking point (e.g., the other gates of the cell are all in a no-docking area). Alternatively, in some embodiments, the computing device 110 may provide multiple parkable locations for selection by the user as a stop point.

In some embodiments, the stop 120 may be a departure point, a destination, a stop midway (e.g., a stop midway to pick up another passenger, or a carpool situation) specified by a passenger of the net appointment application. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the waypoint 120 may be a route location, a destination, etc. in the navigation application. Such as a manned vehicle or an unmanned vehicle, to pick up goods from a certain point of approach and deliver the goods to a destination. Wherein no user can get on or off the bus in the whole process. Additionally or alternatively, the docking point 120 may also be a location in a shared automobile application that requires the user to return the car. For example, the user stops the vehicle at a location ready for return, the computing device 110 determines that the location is a no-parking road segment and prompts the user to park the vehicle at several alternative parking points around.

Note that the above scenarios are merely exemplary, and embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to any scenario related to a trip. For brevity and understanding, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in connection with a driver and a passenger in a net appointment, but the present disclosure is not limited to this scenario.

The prohibited parking sections 130-1, 130-2, and 130-3 refer to restricted parking places where an illegal parking may occur, where the risk of being penalized when the vehicle 140 is parked at the place is high. The parking forbidding road section can be a parking forbidding place or a temporary parking place. The stop prohibition place may refer to a place where the vehicle is not allowed to stop, and the temporary stop place may refer to a place where the vehicle is allowed to stop for a short time. In some embodiments, the computing device 110 may retrieve predetermined forbidden road segment data stored in a server. In some embodiments, the computing device 110 may determine the prohibited-parking road segment from the penalty information for the vehicle. For example, the illegal parking place information can be extracted from the illegal parking penalty information, and the illegal parking road section can be determined according to the illegal parking place information. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the computing device 110 may determine the prohibited-parking road segments from the locations of the violations stops and the traffic sign images. Specifically, the computing device 110 may analyze the meaning of traffic sign information within an area ranging from a certain distance from a prohibited-parking section, and if there is a traffic sign indicating restricted parking, may determine the prohibited-parking section as the prohibited-parking section.

The computing device 110 may itself store the forbidden road segment data. The computing device 110 may also obtain restricted parking spot data from other devices over the network. The computing device 110 may also obtain the forbidden road segment data from a suitable device in any suitable manner, as the disclosure is not limited herein.

The vehicle 140 may be any type of vehicle that can carry people and/or things and is moved by a powered system such as an engine, including but not limited to a car, truck, bus, electric car, motorcycle, caravan, train, and the like. The present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the vehicle 140 may be a vehicle equipped with certain autopilot capabilities, where the autopilot capabilities may include, but are not limited to, assisted driving capabilities, semi-autopilot capabilities, highly autopilot capabilities, or fully autopilot capabilities. It should be understood that embodiments of the present disclosure may be similarly applied to other objects, such as aircraft and the like.

The terminal of the vehicle 140 may be a collection of devices for receiving instructions from the computing device 110 and presenting the instructions to the user in the form of a screen, sound, scent, or the like.

The user interface 150 may be an interface for providing applications associated with a trip, such as web booking/navigating/sharing cars/transporting goods, to a user in the vehicle 140. The user interface 150 may display the location of the vehicle 140 in the map, map information, navigation information, different types of prompts, the location of the waypoint 120, a set of no-parking segments 130, and the like. Depending on the mode, different layouts may also be applied in the user interface. Devices that present the user interface 150 include, but are not limited to, an in-vehicle heads-up display system, a user's terminal device (e.g., smart phone, tablet), or various types of display screens embedded in the vehicle 140. User interface 150 may be presented to a user by any suitable display device, and the disclosure is not limited thereto. The user, and in particular the driver of the vehicle 140, may receive various types of prohibited road segment prompts through the user interface 150, as will be further described below. Note that the prompt need not be a prompt for prompting the user in the vehicle, but may also be an indication for instructing the unmanned vehicle to avoid a parking violation, as the disclosure is not limited herein.

For ease and clarity of illustration, embodiments of the present disclosure for prompting for forbidden road segments will be described below with reference to environment 100 of fig. 1. It is to be understood that embodiments of the present disclosure may also include additional acts not shown and/or may omit acts shown. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect. For ease of understanding, specific data mentioned in the following description are exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

In order to more clearly understand the solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described with reference to fig. 2. Fig. 2 shows a flowchart of a process 200 for prompting for a forbidden road segment, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Process 200 may be implemented by computing device 110 of fig. 1. For ease of discussion, process 200 will be described in conjunction with FIG. 1.

At block 210, the computing device 110 determines a stop point 120 associated with the trip. For example, the itinerary may be the user's departure location, the user's destination (delivery location, navigation terminal, net appointment pickup location, shared car return location), or a stop-off location (pick-up location). Dock 120 may be any specific location point specified by a user, such as a XX street 1 number or a regional location, such as a XX cell, XX park, XX school, XX hospital, etc. The entrance to the specific location point or regional location may be on a proscribed road segment. The computing device 110 needs to determine a location where it is not in a proscribed road segment as a waypoint 120.

In one example, the computing device 110 first obtains a user-specified docking point 120. The computing device 110 matches the waypoint 120 with the proscribed road segment data, e.g., semantically matches a location name of the waypoint 120 with a location name of the proscribed road segment. The computing device 110 determines the location as a waypoint if it is determined that the location is not on a prohibited road segment. The computing device 110 may display the determined waypoint on the user interface 150 for viewing by the user of the vehicle 140 or instruct the unmanned vehicle to travel to the waypoint.

In the event that the computing device 110 determines that the designated waypoint 120 is located on the proscribed road segment, the computing device 110 determines some recommended waypoints 120 and provides the recommended waypoints to the user. The method has the advantages that the forbidden road sections are eliminated in the aspect of the preset stop points, so that the violation of regulations of the user can be effectively avoided, the receiving and sending driving efficiency of the user is improved, and the use experience of the user on the application related to the travel is improved.

In some embodiments, the computing device 110 may obtain historical waypoints for the tiger that are near its designated waypoint and then transmit the historical waypoints to the user for selection. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the computing device 110 may determine one or more locations that are closest to the specified docking point location, i.e., less than a predetermined distance, and then transmit the one or more docking points to the user for selection.

Finally, the computing device 110 determines the waypoint based on the user's selection of the recommended waypoint. For example, the computing device 110 may directly receive a user selection of a recommended waypoint and then use the selected location as the waypoint. The computing device 110 can display the waypoint on the user interface 150 for viewing by a user of the vehicle 140, i.e., the user.

In some embodiments, when the specified stop point of the user obtained by the computing device 110 corresponds to an area (e.g., a community XX having east, west, south, north), the computing device 110 retrieves the presence of historical tickets for east and west in the parking segment data and retrieves the presence of the parking identification for south. The computing device 110 may directly determine the north gate as the docking point.

When waypoint 120 is a recommended waypoint for computing device 110 for a transfer that is different from the waypoint originally specified by the user, computing device 140 may play a sound of "nearby parking is violative, a low risk waypoint has been recommended for you" via a terminal of the vehicle, such as a speaker of vehicle 140. Note that the prompt is not limited to sound, but may be a visual prompt on the user interface 150, or both, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.

Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the computing device 110 may consider the feasibility of the road segment around the user-specified waypoint and then determine the waypoint from the feasibility. For example, some road segments are virtual connection road segments, and such road segments are impassable. Alternatively, certain road segments may be temporarily or temporarily inaccessible for some period of time due to road maintenance, accidents, traffic control, etc. The computing device 110 may determine the availability of the road segment by acquiring road information from a traffic or road management department.

At block 220, the computing device 110 determines a set of forbidden road segments 130 around the waypoint 120. For example, the computing device 140 may determine all of the prohibited road segments near the waypoint 120. The computing device 110 may determine a set of prohibited road segments within a second threshold distance from the waypoint 120 based on the location information of the waypoint 120.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the computing device 110 may determine a set of forbidden road segments 130 within the range shown by the dashed circle with the stopping point 120 as the center of the circle and a second threshold distance (e.g., 200 meters) as the radius.

Alternatively, in some embodiments, computing device 110 may obtain latitude and longitude information for waypoint 120, such as (A, B). The prohibited road segments having latitudes and longitudes in the range of (A-10, B-10) to (A +10, B +10) are then retrieved from the prohibited road segment data as a set of prohibited road segments 130.

Note that the above examples and numbers are merely exemplary, and that suitable methods and threshold distances may also be selected to determine the forbidden road segments in the vicinity of the waypoints 120 according to different types of waypoints, and the disclosure is not limited herein.

At block 230, the computing device 110 issues a prompt related to the set of prohibited road segments via a terminal associated with the vehicle 140 if it is determined that the vehicle is less than the first threshold distance from at least one of the prohibited road segments in the set of prohibited road segments. For example, when the computing device 110 determines that the vehicle 140 is about to travel into an area where a prohibited stretch of road is located, a user in the vehicle may be alerted of the prohibited stretch of road via a visual device or an audible device within the vehicle 140.

In one example, the computing device 110 may display a proscribed identification of a set of proscribed road segments 130 to the driver via the user interaction interface 150 within the vehicle 140, e.g., the computing device 110 displays a proscribed flag near the location of the respective proscribed road segments 130-1, 130-2, and 130-2 in the user interface 150 (represented in dashed lines in fig. 1). And the computing device 110 plays a fourth sound prompt to the driver via the speaker of the vehicle 140 that has exhibited the set of forbidden road segments 130. Note that this fourth cue sound is merely for distinguishing from a cue sound to be described later, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, when the computing device 110 determines that the vehicle 140 is, for example, less than a first threshold distance (e.g., 200 meters) from any of the prohibited road segments in the set of prohibited road segments 130, such as the prohibited road segment 130-3 in fig. 1, the computing device 110 plays a fourth voice prompt to the driver via a speaker within the vehicle 140 that "the prohibited road segment near the stop point has been shown for you. Further, the computing device 110 may present a set of forbidden road segments 130 in a highlighted color on the user interface 150 to alert the driver. The computing device 110 may also alert the driver by any suitable means, including but not limited to a special audible prompt, blinking an identification of the proscribed road segment in a user interface, showing a "proscribed circle identification" next to the proscribed road segment, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.

By presenting the driver with all of the prohibited road segments in the vicinity of the stop, violations caused by the driver stopping at the prohibited road segments can be effectively prevented in the event that the predetermined stop is not altered (i.e., the computing device 110 is unable to detect the altered stop) by, for example, a network appointment application.

It will be appreciated that in some cases, it may not be possible to arrange and display multiple different kinds of identifiers simultaneously in the user interface 150, such as speed measurement identifiers, accident identifiers, stop identifiers, congestion identifiers, alternative route identifiers, dynamic congestion avoidance identifiers. Conflicts may arise between the presentation and display of these identifications, i.e. not being displayed simultaneously or not being displayed in the same state.

To this end, in some embodiments, the computing device 110 may display the suspension identification at a first eye level and the congestion identification and the alternative road segment identification at a second eye level. The first eye level is higher than the second eye level. For example, the computing device 110 may present a brightly colored parking ban indicator and a darkly colored congestion indicator and alternative road segment indicators on the user interface to alert the driver to preferentially attend the parking ban road segments. Alternatively, the computing device 110 may also cause the parking arrest identification to override the congestion identification and the alternate road segment identification. The disablement indicia may also be highlighted in any suitable manner, and the disclosure is not limited thereto. By increasing the priority of the display of the parking prohibition identification in the user interface, the user can be effectively reminded to avoid parking in the parking prohibition road section.

It will also be appreciated that in some cases, different types of audio prompts, such as speed measurement prompts, accident prompts, stop prompts, congestion prompts and alternate route prompts, cannot be played at the same time. The playback of these audio prompts may conflict, i.e., two different audio prompts cannot be played simultaneously.

To this end, in some embodiments, the computing device 110 plays the fourth sound prompt at the third play speed if it determines that the speed of the vehicle 140 is less than the speed limit for the road segment on which the vehicle 140 is located; and the computing device 110 plays the speed limited audible prompt at a fourth play speed, the fourth play speed being less than the third play speed.

In particular, the computing device 110 detects that the vehicle 140 is not speeding or that the type of accident is not causing damage to the vehicles in the road segment. Accordingly, the computing device 110 may issue a fourth audible prompt for disablement at the third, faster playback speed and display the disablement indication at a higher (i.e., greater than the threshold eye level) eye level. The computing device 110 may then next issue audible and visual prompts for speed and accident at a fourth slower playback speed.

Alternatively, in some embodiments, the computing device 110 plays the speed limit audible prompt at a first play speed if it determines that the speed of the vehicle 140 is greater than the speed limit for the prohibited road segment. And the computing device 110 plays the third audio prompt at a second play speed, the second play speed being less than the first play speed.

Specifically, if the computing device 110 determines that the vehicle 140 has speeding or the type of accident is severe, it may still prioritize the speeding or accident prompt at a first, faster play speed and then issue a halt prompt, such as a third audible prompt, at a second, slower play speed. For example, the computing device 110 detects that the direction of travel of the vehicle 140 is not consistent with the allowed direction of travel of the current road, i.e., detects that the vehicle 140 is traveling in reverse. In this case, the computing device 110 may preferentially prompt the user for retrograde travel even if the road segment is a prohibited road segment. By analyzing the degree of urgency of overspeed or accident and parking prohibition events to raise the priority of the parking prohibition prompt as much as possible, the possibility of violation of the user can be reduced to the greatest extent.

The above discusses the situation where the vehicle 140 is approaching a set of forbidden road segments 130. The following discusses a situation where the vehicle 140 has driven into at least one proscribed road segment. In one example, the computing device 110 displays a parking prohibition indication and issues a first audible prompt to the driver if it is determined that the vehicle 140 is entering at least one of the set of parking prohibited road segments 130. And the computing device 110 stops displaying the stay indication and issues a second audible prompt to the driver if it is determined that the vehicle 140 is exiting at least one of the prohibited road segments.

In some embodiments, the computing device 110 may control a speaker within the vehicle 140 to play a first audible prompt if the computing device 110 determines that the vehicle 140 is, for example, entering the prohibited road segment 130-3. The content of the first audible prompt may be, for example, "ding-you have entered a forbidden road segment" or any other similar content. At the same time, a parking prohibition indication for onboard movement may also be displayed in the user interface 150 in the vicinity of the vehicle 140. At this point, because the vehicle 140 has driven into the road segment 130-3, the computing device 110 may cause the identification of the prohibited road segment 130-3 to no longer blink in the user interface 150.

If the computing device 110 determines that the vehicle 140 is, for example, exiting the prohibited road segment 130-3, the computing device 110 causes a speaker within the vehicle 140 to play a second audible prompt. The content of the second audible prompt may be, for example, "dong-you have traveled out of the prohibited stretch" or any other similar content. Meanwhile, the stop sign for onboard movement may stop being displayed in the user interface 150 in the vicinity of the vehicle 140. In some embodiments, the computing device 110 may cause the identification of the prohibited road segment 130-3 to resume flashing in the user interface 150. The above-described audible prompts are merely exemplary, and the computing device 110 may set a corresponding "warning tone" for different road segments or different states in which the vehicle 140 is located to prompt the user.

By prompting the driver again after the vehicle enters the no-parking road section, violation of the driver can be further effectively avoided. In addition, different warning sounds are set to prompt the driver to enter or exit the no-parking road segment, so that the user can form a conditioned reflex of entering the no-parking road segment to avoid parking. For example, in "light navigation" or "compact play navigation", the user may be prompted by a different "warning tone" only that the forbidden road segment has been entered. In this way, the user may also be prompted to avoid illegal parking with as little disruption as possible to the user.

In some embodiments, the computing device 110 plays a third audible prompt for the vehicle to enter a prohibited road segment if it is determined that the vehicle 140 enters one of the set of prohibited road segments 130, and stops other audible prompts that are being played. For example, when the computing device 140 determines that the vehicle is entering the no-stop segment 130-2 of the speed limit, the computing device 110 determines that the vehicle 140 is not speeding. The computing device 110 may suspend the speed limit prompt that was originally ready to be played and preferentially play a third audible prompt for the vehicle to travel into the prohibited road segment.

In some embodiments, if the computing device 110 determines that the vehicle has speeding, the driver may be alerted to the speeding at a faster playback pace, followed by a third audible prompt for the vehicle to travel into the prohibited road segment. At the moment, the vehicle 140 has a high speed and cannot stop immediately, and the driver can be effectively prevented from stopping illegally by playing the stopping prohibition prompt later.

With embodiments of the present disclosure, a proscribed road segment at and around a predetermined exclusion stop may be made. This can also effectively avoid driver violations in the event that the driver and passenger privately change the parking spot. In addition, the priority of the picture and the sound prompt of the stop prohibition prompt is reasonably improved, so that the driver can be effectively reminded to avoid stopping at the stop prohibition road section. Conditioned reflexes can also be made to the driver by different types of audible prompts to make the prompt more effective.

FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of a two-mode user interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The diagram 300 in fig. 3 shows a "main navigation mode 310" and a "light navigation mode 320". In the primary navigation mode 310, the user interface 150 is entirely a map, and at this point the computing device 110 may want the user to provide all visual and audible prompts. In the light navigation mode 320, options such as "destination 305," "origin 304," "route," "trip schedule," "cost" (some of which are not shown in the figures) may also be displayed in connection with the trip, and the computing device 110 may provide only some of the visual and audible prompts shown above. Note that while the above is merely illustrative of an interface for a network appointment application, it is not intended to limit the present disclosure. It may also be any trip-related application. Further, the two modes herein are merely exemplary, and other suitable modes may also exist, which are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

Fig. 4 illustrates a schematic block diagram of an apparatus 400 for prompting for a prohibition of road segments in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.
