Detailed Description

The following detailed description of embodiments of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.

Fig. 1 shows a flow diagram of a vehicle returning method for sharing vehicles according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a car returning method for sharing a vehicle, where the method may be performed by a terminal, and the terminal may be, for example, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a smart band, and the like. The shared vehicle may be, for example, a shared or rented bicycle, a shared or rented electric power assisted vehicle, a shared or rented electric vehicle, a shared or rented automobile, or the like. The method may include steps S110 to S140.

In step S110, in response to receiving the car-returning instruction, information of one or more parking areas within a first preset distance of the current position is acquired.

When the user needs to return the shared vehicle, the vehicle returning option can be clicked on the terminal. The user's action of clicking the carriage return option may be converted into a carriage return instruction.

Optionally, the terminal acquires the information of the current location in response to receiving the car returning instruction, for example, the information of the current location may be acquired through a GPS module of the terminal. Thereafter, a car return request may be generated, the car return request including at least information of the current location. The terminal can send the car returning request to the server, and after the server receives the car returning request, the server obtains information of one or more parking areas within a first preset distance of the current position according to the information of the current position in the car returning request. The server may then transmit the acquired information of the one or more parking areas to the terminal. The terminal may buffer the received information for one or more parking areas. Optionally, if the server does not obtain the information of the parking area within the first preset distance of the current position, that is, the parking area does not exist within the first preset distance of the current position, the server may send the position information of the parking area closest to the current position to the terminal, and the terminal may prompt the information, for example, prompt in the form of text, a buoy, or voice, so that the user may move the shared vehicle to the parking area to return the shared vehicle again.

Alternatively, the terminal may store information for all parking areas of the city in advance. In the case of receiving a car returning instruction, the terminal first acquires information of a current position, and then acquires information of one or more parking areas within a first preset distance of the current position from stored information for all parking areas of a city based on the information of the current position. Optionally, if there is no parking area within the first preset distance of the current location, the terminal may prompt the location information of the parking area closest to the current location (i.e., the location information of the main parking peg in the parking area), for example, the location information may be prompted in a form of text, a buoy, or voice, so that the user may move the shared vehicle to the parking area to return the shared vehicle.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the information of the parking area may include a bluetooth identifier of a primary parking peg in the parking area, position information of the primary parking peg in the parking area, and a bluetooth identifier of an auxiliary parking peg in the parking area. The server may store information of each parking area.

The primary parking piles within the parking area may be substantially fixed parking piles, for example, a shared vehicle may be used as the primary parking piles, and the shared vehicle as the primary parking piles may be set to be unusable by the user, for example, may not be provided with a two-dimensional code or the like for scanning by the user. Thus, the bluetooth identifier of the primary parking peg may be a unique identifier of the corresponding parking area, and the position information of the primary parking peg may be position information of the corresponding parking area. The master parking post may periodically broadcast bluetooth information.

The secondary parking peg may be a shared vehicle currently located within the parking area. After each shared vehicle is parked successfully in the parking area, the server can add the Bluetooth identifier of the shared vehicle as the Bluetooth identifier of the auxiliary parking post to the information of the parking area, so that the shared vehicle is converted into the auxiliary parking post. After the shared vehicle is unlocked by the user, the server can delete the Bluetooth identification of the shared vehicle from the information of the parking area, so that the auxiliary parking pile is converted into the shared vehicle. The auxiliary parking posts can periodically broadcast Bluetooth information. It will be appreciated that the number of identifications of the auxiliary parking pegs included in the information of the parking area may be zero, which may occur in case no shared vehicle is parked in the parking area.

The bluetooth identifier may be an identifier capable of uniquely characterizing bluetooth information, and may be, for example, a bluetooth MAC address or the like.

The first preset distance may be set to any suitable value as needed, for example, the first preset distance may be limited by a bluetooth scanning range.

In step S120, it is determined whether at least one of the following is satisfied: the Bluetooth identification of the first main parking pile included in the information scanned to the one or more parking areas, the Bluetooth identification of the first auxiliary parking pile included in the information scanned to the one or more parking areas, or the current position determined to be within a second preset distance of the position of the second main parking pile according to the position information of the main parking pile included in the information scanned to each parking area.

After the information of one or more parking areas within a first preset distance of the current position is acquired, the terminal can perform Bluetooth scanning. Specifically, whether the bluetooth of the terminal is in an on state may be checked first, and if the bluetooth of the terminal is already in the on state, the bluetooth broadcast information in the vicinity may be directly scanned. If the bluetooth is in the off state, the bluetooth is turned on if it is authorized to turn it on directly. If the Bluetooth is not authorized to be opened, a prompt about opening the Bluetooth can be sent out to remind the user to open the Bluetooth of the terminal.

The Bluetooth identification of the scanned Bluetooth information can be compared with the Bluetooth identification of the main parking pile and the Bluetooth identification of the auxiliary parking pile in the acquired information of one or more parking areas, so that whether the Bluetooth identification of any main parking pile and/or the Bluetooth identification of any auxiliary parking pile can be scanned or not is determined.

Or, it may also be determined whether the current position is within a second preset distance of the position of a main parking pile, which is equivalent to defining a circular virtual fence by taking the main parking pile as a center and the second preset distance as a radius. And judging whether the shared vehicle is currently in the virtual fence or not. For example, the distance between the position information of the main parking pile and the current position information may be first calculated according to the position information of the main parking pile and the current position information, whether the distance between the main parking pile and the current position information is smaller than the second preset distance is determined, and if the distance between the main parking pile and the current position information is smaller than the second preset distance, the main parking pile and the current position information are determined to be within the virtual fence defined by the main parking.

The second preset distance may be set to any suitable value according to the embodiment of the present invention, for example, may be set to any value such as 10m, 20m, 50m, and the like. Alternatively, the second preset distance may be the same or different for different cities or different areas. The server can also dynamically adjust the second preset distance according to needs, and after each adjustment, the adjusted second preset distance can be sent to the terminal.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the order of determining the three conditions may be arbitrary, or one or more of the three conditions may be determined simultaneously.

In step S130, in case that the at least one is satisfied, it is detected whether a lock-off signal is received.

If the at least one is satisfied, then it may be determined that the shared vehicle is within the parking area. After determining that the shared vehicle is in the parking area, it may further determine whether the shared vehicle is in the locked state by determining whether the lock-off signal is received. The lock-off signal may be sent by the smart lock of the vehicle to the terminal in response to being locked off.

In step S140, in case that the lock-off signal is received, it is determined that the returning is completed.

In the case where the bluetooth broadcast information of the valid parking lot is scanned, if it is detected that the lock-off signal of the vehicle is received, it may be determined that the vehicle is returned to the prescribed parking area and has been locked off.

The vehicle returning method for the shared vehicle provided by the embodiment of the invention is combined with a mode based on the main parking piles, the auxiliary parking piles and the virtual fence to assist the user in returning the vehicle, so that the vehicle returning efficiency is improved, and the shared vehicle can be prevented from being randomly parked and randomly placed.

In some optional embodiments, in the case that it is determined that the car return is completed, the terminal may send a prompt of the car return completion, so that the user can know that the car return is completed.

In some optional embodiments, since the shared vehicle may be outside the parking area, that is, the distance to both the primary parking peg and the auxiliary parking peg may exceed the bluetooth scanning range, and the distance to the primary parking peg exceeds the second preset distance, the terminal may determine that the at least one is not satisfied. In this case, the terminal may prompt the position information of the main parking pile included in the acquired information of the one or more parking areas, for example, the position information may be prompted in the form of text, a buoy, or voice, so that the user may move the shared vehicle to the parking area to return the shared vehicle.

After determining that the at least one is satisfied, it is necessary to detect whether a lock-off signal is received. The lock-off signal may be a lock-off signal sent by the smart lock through bluetooth in response to being locked off. Considering the delay of the signal, or in some cases, the user starts to turn off the lock after clicking the car returning option, it may be set whether to receive the lock turning-off signal sent by the smart lock through bluetooth within a preset time period from the scanning of the bluetooth broadcast information of the valid parking lot. The preset time period may be set to any suitable value as desired.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of a shared vehicle return according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the bluetooth information of the primary parking lot cycle in the parking area includes at least the bluetooth identification of the primary parking lot. Shared vehicles parked in the parking area are converted into auxiliary parking posts, and the auxiliary parking posts periodically broadcast Bluetooth information which comprises Bluetooth identifications of the auxiliary parking posts. There may be one or more auxiliary parking pegs in the parking area. An area with the position of the main parking pile as a center and the second preset distance as a radius can be defined as a virtual fence. When a user returns the shared vehicle, the terminal responds to the received vehicle returning instruction to acquire parking area information, wherein the information comprises the Bluetooth identification of the main parking pile, the Bluetooth identification of the auxiliary parking pile and the position information of the main parking pile. The terminal may determine that the shared vehicle is located within the parking area according to any one of: the Bluetooth identification of the main parking pile is scanned, the Bluetooth identification of any auxiliary parking pile is scanned, and the current position is in the virtual fence. The returning method for sharing vehicles provided by the embodiment of the invention will be further explained with reference to fig. 3.

Fig. 3 shows a flow diagram of a vehicle returning method for sharing a vehicle according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a car returning method for sharing a vehicle, where the method may be performed by a terminal, and the terminal may be, for example, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a smart band, or the like. The shared vehicle may be, for example, a shared or rented bicycle, a shared or rented electric power assisted vehicle, a shared or rented electric vehicle, a shared or rented automobile, or the like. The method may include steps S302 to S324.

In step S302, in response to receiving a car return instruction, information of one or more parking areas within a first preset distance of the current position is acquired.

The secondary parking peg may be a shared vehicle currently located within the parking area. After returning one shared vehicle in the parking area, the server may add the bluetooth identifier of the shared vehicle as the bluetooth identifier of the auxiliary parking peg to the information of the parking area, so as to convert the shared vehicle into the auxiliary parking peg. After the shared vehicle is unlocked by the user, the server can delete the Bluetooth identification of the shared vehicle from the information of the parking area, so that the auxiliary parking pile is converted into the shared vehicle. The auxiliary parking posts can periodically broadcast Bluetooth information. It will be appreciated that the number of identifications of the auxiliary parking pegs included in the information of the parking area may be zero, which may occur in case no shared vehicle is parked in the parking area.

In step S304, it is determined whether the bluetooth identifier of the first primary parking lot is scanned within a first preset time period.

The bluetooth identification of the scanned bluetooth information can be compared with the bluetooth identification of the main parking pile in the acquired information of one or more parking areas, so that whether the bluetooth identification of the main parking pile is scanned or not is determined.

And if the Bluetooth identification of one main parking pile is determined to be scanned in the first preset time period, the first main parking pile is the main parking pile. If it is determined that the bluetooth identifiers of the plurality of main parking piles are scanned within the first preset time period, the first main parking pile is one of the plurality of main parking piles, for example, may be the main parking pile with the strongest bluetooth information Strength, where the Strength of the bluetooth information may be determined according to RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication).

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first preset time period may be set to any suitable value as needed, for example, may be set to any value of several seconds, such as 5 seconds, 10 seconds, and the like.

If the bluetooth identifier of the first primary parking lot is scanned within the first preset time period, it may be determined that the shared vehicle is in the parking area, and then step S312 is performed. If the primary parking post fails, the bluetooth identification of the primary parking post may not be scanned, in which case step S306 may be performed.

In step S306, it is determined whether the bluetooth identifier of the first auxiliary parking pile is scanned.

In a case where it is determined that the scanned information does not include the bluetooth identifier of the main parking lot, the scanned bluetooth identifier of the bluetooth information may be compared with the bluetooth identifiers of the auxiliary parking lots in the acquired information of one or more parking areas, so as to determine whether the bluetooth identifier of the auxiliary parking lot is scanned.

And if the Bluetooth identification of one auxiliary parking pile is determined to be scanned, the first auxiliary parking pile is the auxiliary parking pile. If the bluetooth identifiers of the plurality of auxiliary parking posts are scanned, the first auxiliary parking post may be any one of the plurality of auxiliary parking posts, for example, the auxiliary parking post with the strongest bluetooth information Strength, where the Strength of the bluetooth information may be determined according to RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication).

If the bluetooth identification to the first auxiliary parking peg is scanned, it may be determined that the shared vehicle is in the parking area, and step S312 is performed next. If the auxiliary parking post is faulty, the bluetooth identification of the auxiliary parking post may not be scanned, in which case step S308 may be performed. In addition, it is understood that if the number of the bluetooth identifiers of the auxiliary parking posts in the acquired information of one or more parking areas is zero, the subsequent steps may be performed by skipping step S306.

In step S308, it is determined whether the current position is within the second preset distance of the position of the second primary parking pile.

As mentioned above, it is equivalent to define a circular virtual fence with the main parking pile as the center and the second preset distance as the radius. It is determined whether the shared vehicle is within the virtual fence defined according to any of the primary parking lots acquired in step S302. For example, the distance between the position information of the main parking pile and the current position information may be first calculated according to the position information of the main parking pile and the current position information, whether the distance between the main parking pile and the current position information is smaller than the second preset distance is determined, and if the distance between the main parking pile and the current position information is smaller than the second preset distance, the main parking pile and the current position information are determined to be within the virtual fence defined by the main parking. If the current location is detected to be within two or more virtual fences, the primary parking peg closest in distance to the current location may be taken as the second primary parking peg. Optionally, the distance between the primary parking pegs may be greater than a second preset distance to avoid detecting that the current position is within two or more virtual fences.

The current location of the shared vehicle is located by the terminal, which typically uses a GPS module for location. The GPS module is typically subject to environmental influences. In order to more accurately determine whether the current position is within the second preset distance of the position of the second main parking pile, the determination may be made in combination with horizontal accuracy. Specifically, the position information output by the GPS module includes, in addition to the longitude and latitude of the current position, the horizontal accuracy and the vertical accuracy of the positioning.

The terminal can judge whether the distance between the current position and the main parking pile is smaller than a second preset distance R or not and judge whether the horizontal precision of positioning is smaller than a first preset value A or not. In case the distance between the current position and the primary parking pile is smaller than a second preset distance R and the horizontal accuracy of the current positioning is smaller than a first preset value a, it may be determined that the current position is within the second preset distance of the position of the second primary parking pile. The size of the first preset value a may be any value, and may be set to 5m, 10m, etc., for example. Optionally, for different cities or different areas, the size of the first preset value a may also be different, or the server may also dynamically adjust the first preset value a as needed, and after each adjustment, the adjusted first preset value a may be sent to the terminal.

The second primary parking pile is any one primary parking pile. The second preset distance may be set to any suitable value according to the embodiment of the present invention, for example, may be set to any value such as 10m, 20m, 50m, and the like. Alternatively, the second preset distance may be the same or different for different cities or different areas. The server can also dynamically adjust the second preset distance according to needs, and after each adjustment, the adjusted second preset distance can be sent to the terminal.

If the current position is within the second preset distance of the position of the second primary parking pile, it may be determined that the shared vehicle is within the parking area, followed by performing step S312, otherwise performing step S310.

In step S310, the position information of the primary parking pile included in the acquired information of one or more parking areas is presented.

The shared vehicle may be outside the parking area, i.e. may be located a distance from both the primary and secondary parking pegs that exceeds the bluetooth scanning range and a second predetermined distance from the primary parking peg. In this case, the terminal may prompt the position information of the main parking pile included in the acquired information of the one or more parking areas, for example, the position information may be prompted in the form of text, a buoy, or voice, so that the user may move the shared vehicle to the parking area to return the shared vehicle.

In step S312, it is detected whether a lock-off signal is received.

After determining that the shared vehicle is in the parking area, it may further determine whether the shared vehicle is in the locked state by determining whether the lock-off signal is received. The lock-off signal may be sent by the smart lock of the vehicle to the terminal in response to being locked off.

If the lock-off signal is received, step S314 is executed, otherwise step S318 is executed.

In step S314, it is determined that the returning is completed.

In step S316, the bluetooth identifier of the master parking pile of the parking area where the shared vehicle is located and the bluetooth identifier of the shared vehicle are sent to a server.

If the bluetooth identification of the first primary parking post is scanned at step S306, the bluetooth identification of the first primary parking post and the bluetooth identification of the shared vehicle may be transmitted to the server. If the bluetooth identification of the first auxiliary parking pile is scanned in step S308, the bluetooth identification of the main parking pile in the parking area corresponding to the first auxiliary parking pile is determined, and then the bluetooth identification of the main parking pile and the bluetooth identification of the shared vehicle are sent to the server. If it is determined according to step S310 that the shared vehicle is located within the parking area, the bluetooth identification of the second primary parking post is sent to the server together with the bluetooth identification of the shared vehicle.

After the server receives the Bluetooth identification of the main parking pile in the parking area where the shared vehicle is located and the Bluetooth identification of the shared vehicle, the Bluetooth identification of the shared vehicle can be used as the Bluetooth identification of the auxiliary parking pile to be added to the received information of the parking area corresponding to the Bluetooth identification of the main parking pile, and therefore the shared vehicle is converted into the auxiliary parking pile.

In step S318, it is determined whether the returning time exceeds a second preset time period.

In some optional cases, the car returning time from the time when the user clicks the car returning option may be long for some reasons, causing a car returning timeout phenomenon to occur. For example, the timeout may be due to: the user rides the destination far away from the parking area, and when the user clicks the returning option at the riding destination, the shared vehicle may be located outside the parking area, that is, the distances to the main parking peg and the auxiliary parking peg both exceed the bluetooth scanning range, and the distance to the main parking peg exceeds the second preset distance, and the user does not move the shared vehicle to the position that the terminal reminds, which may cause the returning timeout. Or the timeout may be due to receiving the lock-off signal, for example, the user does not lock off although parking the vehicle to the parking area, which will cause the terminal to never receive the lock-off signal, thereby causing a timeout for returning the vehicle.

The second preset time period may be, for example, the maximum time that the user may take to return the car, which is obtained through statistics, and it may be understood that the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

Specifically, the time counting may be started when the user clicks the car return option, and it is determined whether the car return time exceeds a second preset time period, and if the car return time exceeds the second preset time period, step S320 is executed. Otherwise, execution may continue to step S312.

In step S320, a prompt is issued whether to give up returning the car.

In the event of a car return timeout, the user may be provided with a prompt, which may be in the form of text for example, as to whether to give up the car return, and may provide an option as to whether to give up the car return.

In step S322, in the case where an instruction for abandoning the car return is received, a vehicle management fee is generated and the completion of the car return is determined.

If the user selects to give up the return, the selection is converted into an instruction for giving up the return, in which case, since the shared vehicle is not correctly parked in the defined parking area, the operation and maintenance master is required to further manage the vehicle, and additional manpower and material resources are consumed, so the terminal may generate a vehicle management fee which can be deducted from the account number of the user and determine that the return is completed. The vehicle management fee may be, for example, a fixed amount of money or the like.

In step S324, in the case where an instruction is received not to give up the car return, the car return flow is re-executed.

If the user chooses not to give up the car-return, the choice is converted into an instruction about not giving up the car-return, in which case the terminal may resume the car-return procedure, for example, from scanning the bluetooth broadcast message, or in case of a timeout due to not receiving the lock-off signal, from the step of detecting whether the lock-off signal is received.

It is understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, step S316 and steps S318 to S324 may be optional steps.

The method for returning the shared vehicles, provided by the embodiment of the invention, sets the priority of the three types of modes for determining whether the shared vehicles are in the parking area, firstly, the judgment is carried out based on the mode of the main parking piles, if the judgment fails, the judgment is carried out based on the mode of the auxiliary parking piles, and if the judgment fails, the judgment is carried out based on the mode of the virtual fence. Therefore, the car can be returned to the user conveniently to the greatest extent. In addition, the overtime phenomenon of returning the car is considered, the user is provided with an option of giving up the returning of the car, the time of the user can be saved, the behavior can be restrained by setting the management fee of the car, and the driving method is equivalent to motivating the user to stop the car regularly.

Fig. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a returning apparatus for a shared vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.
