Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments.

The scheme of the embodiment of the application can be applied to various vehicles. The vehicle may be, for example, a high-speed rail, an airplane, a subway, a vehicle, an aircraft, a flyable car, a train, a ship, or the like. The vehicle may be, for example, an automobile (e.g., a smart car), a motorcycle, or the like.

Most of the conventional vehicles use a mechanical key or an electronic key for unlocking or starting, and the keys have the problem of inconvenience in carrying. In addition, when the vehicle needs to be borrowed to other people for use, the user needs to hand over the entity key to other people, and after the vehicle is used, the borrower needs to return the entity key to the user. In this way, the physical key takes time from both parties in the process of being transferred, and there is an unexpected risk in terms of security in keeping and using the key. With the continuous development of technology, digital keys have emerged. The digital key may also be referred to as a bluetooth key or a virtual key. The digital key can realize the control of the vehicle through a short-distance wireless communication technology. For example, a user may remotely control a vehicle. As another example, the user may remotely authorize the digital key for use by others.

Short-range wireless communication techniques may include, for example, bluetooth, near Field Communication (NFC), ultra Wide Band (UWB), and the like. The digital key can provide diversified interaction and experience capability for users in using vehicles and driving.

In some embodiments, a user may install a digital key APP on an electronic device (e.g., a mobile terminal), through which the vehicle is controlled. The electronic device in the embodiment of the application can be a portable device such as a smart phone and a wearable device. The wearable device may be, for example, a smart card, a smart watch, a bracelet, and the like.

Currently, the control of vehicles using digital keys can be realized by short-range wireless communication technology, and the control of vehicles can include, for example: unlocking and locking the vehicle, controlling the starting of the vehicle, controlling the air conditioner, the seat and the window of the vehicle, and the like. That is, control of the vehicle using the digital key may be achieved through interaction of the electronic device and the vehicle.

The digital key related service in the embodiment of the present application refers to a service related to digital key management, and for the digital key related service, the service can be completed only by the participation of a remote cloud server (or referred to as a remote cloud). A service process requiring remote cloud server parameters is described below.

Referring to fig. 1, the electronic device 110 may send a service request to the remote cloud server 120, and after receiving the service request, the remote cloud server 120 may send a response message to the electronic device 110. The response message may be used to accept the service request of the electronic device 110 and may also be used to reject the service request of the electronic device 110. In some embodiments, the remote cloud server 120 may also send authentication information to the vehicle 130 based on the service request of the electronic device 110, such as to authenticate whether the electronic device 110 is located in a vehicle, and the like. In the case where the electronic device 110 is authenticated, the remote cloud server 120 may accept a service request of the electronic device 110. In the event that the electronic device 110 fails authentication, the remote cloud server 120 may reject the service request of the electronic device 110.

The related services requiring the remote cloud server parameters may include, for example, generation of a digital key, activation of the digital key, sharing of the digital key, destruction of the digital key, and user account management of the digital key.

As can be seen from the above, some services related to the digital key require the participation of a remote cloud server, and when the digital key needs to acquire these services, it is necessary for the electronic device and the vehicle to be able to communicate with the remote cloud server. This places high demands on the quality of the communication between the electronic devices and the vehicle and the remote cloud server.

In the event that the electronic device and/or the vehicle cannot communicate with the remote cloud server, the electronic device cannot acquire the digital key related service. For example, in the case of poor network signals, no network or downtime of a remote cloud server, especially in an underground parking lot without a network, the electronic device and/or the vehicle cannot communicate with the remote cloud server, so that the electronic device cannot obtain the services related to the digital key. In this case, the remote cloud server cannot provide the user with the function of the digital key well, thereby affecting the user experience.

In addition, when the electronic device needs to acquire the digital key related service, the electronic device can only acquire the digital key related service through the remote cloud server, so that the acquisition mode of the digital key related service is not flexible enough.

Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a method and an apparatus for implementing a digital key, where a local area network is established between an electronic device and a vehicle, and then the vehicle can provide digital key related services for the electronic device through the local area network, so that an acquisition manner of the digital key related services can be more flexible.

In addition, because the digital key related service in the embodiment of the application can be provided by a vehicle, the embodiment of the application can provide the digital key related service for the electronic device through the local area network under the condition that the vehicle and/or the electronic device cannot communicate with the remote cloud server, so that the digital key related service can be provided for the electronic device in any environment, and the user experience is improved.

The embodiment of the application can deploy the local cloud service in the vehicle, so that the vehicle has the capacity of the local cloud service. Generally, a vehicle (e.g., a smart car) itself has a processor (e.g., a Central Processing Unit (CPU)), and thus, the embodiment of the present application may deploy the local cloud service by using the processor on the vehicle. For example, a vehicle may be equipped with some hardware modules and server systems required by a server, i.e., the vehicle may be modeled as a server device, i.e., the vehicle may have the functionality of a local cloud service. The hardware module may include, for example, a storage hard disk and/or a memory bank, etc. The server system may be, for example, an operating system such as a windows system, a Linux system, or the like. Of course, if the vehicle itself has the hardware and server system required by the server, the functions of the local cloud service can be realized by directly using the hardware and server system.

When the vehicle can be viewed as a server device, deployment of the local cloud services on the vehicle can be achieved in a manner similar to the deployment of remote services on a server. The capacity of the local cloud service on the vehicle can be set according to actual needs. For example, a digital key related service may be deployed on a vehicle. The digital key related service may include, for example, generation of a digital key, activation of the digital key, sharing of the digital key, destruction of the digital key, and user account management of the digital key. That is, the services provided by the vehicle may have the ability to generate, activate, share, and destroy the entire life cycle of the digital key as the services provided by the remote cloud server. In addition, a user account management service of a digital key can also be deployed on the vehicle, and the service can have the capabilities of registering, logging in and logging out of a basic account as the service provided by a remote cloud server.

The method for implementing the digital key according to the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to fig. 2. The method shown in FIG. 2 includes steps S210-S220.

In step S210, the electronic device establishes a local area network with the vehicle.

In step S220, after the lan is established, the vehicle provides the digital key related service for the electronic device by using the lan, or the electronic device obtains the digital key related service through the lan.

The electronic device can establish a local area network with a vehicle in any scene, and acquire digital key related services from the vehicle. For example, the electronic device may obtain a digital key related service from the vehicle regardless of whether the electronic device is able to communicate with the remote cloud server. In this case, the electronic device may select whether to obtain the digital key related service from the remote cloud server or the vehicle according to actual needs.

In some embodiments, in the event that the electronic device and/or the vehicle cannot communicate with the remote cloud server, the electronic device establishes a local area network with the vehicle and obtains digital key related services from the vehicle. And in the case where the electronic device and the vehicle are capable of communicating with the remote cloud server, the electronic device acquires the digital key-related service from the remote cloud server. The remote cloud server in the embodiment of the application is a remote cloud server capable of providing digital key related services.

The process of the electronic device acquiring the digital key related service is described below with reference to fig. 3. The method shown in FIG. 3 includes steps S310 to S340.

At step S310, the user starts a digital key APP on the electronic device, and the digital key APP may attempt to access the remote cloud server.

In step S320, the electronic device determines whether communication with the remote cloud server is possible.

In step S330, if the electronic device is capable of communicating with the remote cloud server, the digital key APP accesses the remote cloud server and acquires a digital key related service from the remote cloud server.

In step S340, if the electronic device is unable to communicate with the remote cloud server, the digital key APP accesses a local cloud service of the vehicle. For example, the electronic device may establish a local area network with a vehicle and obtain digital key related services from the vehicle.

The inability of the electronic device and/or vehicle to communicate with the remote cloud server may include any of the following: the electronic device cannot communicate with the remote cloud server, the vehicle cannot communicate with the remote cloud server, and the electronic device and the remote cloud server cannot communicate. The inability to communicate with a remote cloud server may refer to a poor network signal, no network, or a server failure (e.g., down), etc.

The electronic equipment of the embodiment of the application can refer to portable equipment such as mobile phones, tablets and wearable equipment.

The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the manner of establishing the local area network, and any manner capable of establishing the local area network may be applied to the present application.

As one example, the electronic device and the vehicle may establish a second short-range wireless communication connection to establish a local area network. The electronic device can transmit a third request to the vehicle requesting establishment of a second short-range wireless communication connection with the vehicle to establish the local area network. As another example, the embodiment of the present application may establish a local area network through a network provided by a third party device. Both the electronic device and the vehicle may access a network provided by a third party device to establish a local area network.

The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the second short-range wireless communication method. For example, the second short-range wireless communication mode may be a wireless fidelity (WiFi) communication mode. A local area network can be established between the electronic device and the vehicle using a WiFi network. The WiFi network may be an in-vehicle WiFi hotspot. For example, the electronic device can send a third request to the vehicle requesting access to an in-vehicle WiFi hotspot. In response to the third request, the vehicle may access the electronic device to the in-vehicle WiFi hotspot, thereby forming a local area network. At present, most vehicles are equipped with a WiFi module, the embodiment of the application can utilize the WiFi hotspot function of the WiFi module to establish a local area network, and the electronic device can establish the local area network with the vehicle by accessing the WiFi hotspot, so that introduction of new devices can be avoided, and complexity of establishing the local area network is reduced.

In some embodiments, the establishment of the second short-range wireless communication connection requires authentication using a connection password in order to ensure the security of the communication. Based on the connection password, the electronic device can send a third request to the vehicle to establish a second short-range wireless communication connection. The electronic device can establish a second short-range wireless communication connection with the vehicle only if the connection password authentication is successful. The connection password may be manually input to the electronic device by a user, or may be sent to the electronic device by a vehicle, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application. For example, the electronic device may first establish a first short-range wireless communication connection with the vehicle. Through the first short-range wireless communication connection, the vehicle can send a connection password for the second short-range wireless communication connection to the electronic device, so that the electronic device can automatically acquire the connection password. The mode can avoid the need of manually inputting the connection password by the user, reduce the complexity of user operation and improve the user experience.

The first short-range wireless communication mode and the second short-range wireless communication mode may be two different communication modes. For example, the first short-range wireless communication method may be a communication method such as bluetooth, NFC, UWB, zigBee (ZigBee), radio Frequency Identification (RFID), or the like. The second short-range wireless communication mode may be a WiFi communication mode.

In the following, the establishment process of the local area network is described by taking the first short-range wireless communication mode as bluetooth communication and the second short-range wireless communication mode as WiFi communication as an example. For convenience of description, the password of the vehicle-mounted WiFi hotspot is simply referred to as a WiFi password hereinafter.

The vehicle may send the WiFi password to the electronic device over the bluetooth connection. If the vehicle and the electronic device have established a bluetooth connection, the vehicle may send a WiFi password to the electronic device directly over the bluetooth connection. If no bluetooth connection is established between the vehicle and the electronic device, the vehicle may establish a bluetooth connection with the electronic device before sending the WiFi password to the electronic device. For example, the electronic device can establish a bluetooth connection with the vehicle before sending the third request to the vehicle. The vehicle can utilize the bluetooth connection to send the wiFi password to electronic equipment, and electronic equipment can utilize the bluetooth connection to receive the wiFi password that the vehicle sent.

Because bluetooth communication is a relatively mature and simple communication mode at present, and most vehicles and electronic devices support bluetooth communication, the mode of sending connection passwords to the electronic devices through bluetooth has lower requirements on the performance of the vehicles and the electronic devices, and the complexity of the design of the electronic devices and the vehicles can be reduced.

The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the security mode of bluetooth connection. For example, the bluetooth connection may be a bluetooth connection that is established only after pairing. For another example, the bluetooth connection may be a bluetooth connection established after bluetooth handshake, authentication, and security authentication. For the situation that the electronic device controls the vehicle through bluetooth, in order to ensure the safety of the vehicle, the electronic device generally needs to establish bluetooth connection with the vehicle after passing authentication and safety certification.

The process of establishing the local area network between the electronic device and the vehicle will be described with reference to fig. 4.

In step S402, the electronic device starts the digital key APP.

In step S404, the digital key APP background checks whether communication with the remote cloud server is possible.

In step S406, if the digital key APP can communicate with the remote cloud server, the electronic device normally uses the digital key APP.

In step S408, if the digital key APP cannot communicate with the remote cloud server, the electronic device may determine whether a bluetooth connection is established with the vehicle. If the electronic device and the vehicle have established a bluetooth connection, continuing to execute step S410; if the electronic device does not establish a bluetooth connection with the vehicle, then step S414 is continued.

In step S410, the electronic device determines whether it is connected to the WiFi of the vehicle. If the electronic device is connected to the vehicle' S WiFi, continue to step S418; if the electronic device is not connected to the vehicle' S WiFi, then execution continues at step S412.

At step S412, the vehicle sends a WiFi password to the electronic device via bluetooth, thereby establishing a WiFi connection with the electronic device.

At step S414, the electronic device prompts the user to manually enter a WiFi password to establish a WiFi connection with the vehicle.

In step S416, the electronic device determines whether the WiFi connection with the vehicle is successful.

If the WiFi connection of the electronic device with the vehicle fails, the steps S414 and S416 are repeatedly executed. That is, the electronic device may prompt the user to manually enter a WiFi password and determine whether the WiFi connection is successful.

In step S418, the establishment of the local area network is completed.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may be located a greater distance from the vehicle before establishing the local area network with the vehicle. In this case, the electronic device may also output indication information to indicate that the user is close to the vehicle, thereby establishing the local area network. For example, the electronic device may start the digital key APP and detect whether the electronic device can communicate with the remote cloud server. If the electronic device cannot communicate with the remote cloud server and the digital key APP has the digital key to be activated or shared, the electronic device may output indication information to indicate that the user approaches a vehicle corresponding to the digital key to be activated or shared. After the user approaches the vehicle corresponding to the digital key, the electronic device may establish a local area network with the vehicle.

The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the indication manner of the indication information. For example, the indication information may be a short message prompt or a voice prompt. For another example, the indication information may be a guidance popup.

The digital key related services in the embodiments of the present application may include one or more of the following: digital key generation, digital key activation, digital key sharing, digital key destruction, and digital key user account management.

The following describes a process of providing a service to an electronic device by a vehicle, taking the activation and sharing of a digital key as an example.

Taking the activation of a digital key as an example, the electronic device may send a first request to the vehicle, the first request being usable to request activation of the digital key of the electronic device. The vehicle, upon receiving the first request, may send a response message to the electronic device for the first request using the local area network, the response message for activating the digital key of the electronic device.

Taking sharing of the digital key as an example, if the electronic device is an electronic device sharing the digital key, the electronic device may send a second request to the vehicle, where the second request may be used to request sharing of the digital key of the electronic device. After the vehicle receives the second request, the digital key of the electronic device can be shared to other electronic devices in the local area network. If the electronic device is a shared electronic device, the electronic device may receive a digital key shared by other electronic devices from the vehicle.

The following describes the embodiments of the present application in detail, taking the activation and sharing of the digital key as an example. It should be understood that the following examples are merely illustrative for the convenience of understanding of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the embodiments of the present application.

Example one, activation of a digital key.

The devices participating in the digital key activation process may include an electronic device and a vehicle. The electronic device is already provided with a digital key APP and has a digital key to be activated. The vehicle is a vehicle corresponding to the digital key.

The electronic device starts the digital key APP. After the digital key APP is started, if the electronic device detects that communication with a remote cloud server is impossible or that the electronic device is in a wireless environment and the digital key APP has a digital key to be activated, the electronic device may output indication information to indicate that a user is close to a vehicle corresponding to the digital key.

The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the indication manner of the indication information. For example, the indication information may be a short message prompt or a voice prompt. For another example, the indication information may be a guidance popup. After the user approaches the vehicle corresponding to the digital key, the electronic device may establish a local area network with the vehicle.

In some embodiments, after the user approaches the vehicle, the electronic device may also guide the user to manually connect to a WiFi hotspot of the vehicle by way of a guided pop-up window to establish a local area network with the vehicle.

In some embodiments, if the electronic device has established a bluetooth connection with the vehicle, the vehicle may send a WiFi password to the electronic device over the bluetooth connection. After receiving the WiFi password, the electronic equipment can initiate a WiFi connection request to the vehicle, and then the establishment of the local area network is achieved. If the electronic device detects that the bluetooth connection with the vehicle has not been established, the electronic device may establish the bluetooth connection with the vehicle first and then receive the WiFi password sent by the vehicle.

After the electronic device establishes a local area network with a vehicle, the digital key APP can access a local cloud service already deployed on the vehicle through the local area network to obtain a digital key related service. Thus, the user can operate the digital key APP to complete the activation function of the digital key.

When the user initiates an activation request, the digital key APP sends a request to the vehicle through the WiFi hotspot. The vehicle's WiFi hotspot sends the request directly to the vehicle's local cloud service via proxy. The vehicle may return a response message after receiving the activation request. The response message may be finally returned to the digital key APP via the WiFi hotspot, thereby completing the request process to activate the digital key.

Example two, sharing of digital keys.

The devices participating in the digital key sharing process may include two electronic devices and a vehicle. Digital keys APP are installed on the two pieces of electronic equipment, one piece of electronic equipment already completes activation of the digital keys and can normally perform function use of the digital keys, and the other piece of electronic equipment already completes login of the digital keys APP. The vehicle is a vehicle corresponding to the digital key. For convenience of description, the electronic device that has completed the activation of the digital key will be referred to as a first electronic device, and the other electronic device will be referred to as a second electronic device hereinafter. The first electronic device may also be referred to as a sharing device, and the second electronic device may also be referred to as a shared device. The first electronic device may share the digital key to the second electronic device.

The first electronic device starts the digital key APP. After the digital key APP is started, if the first electronic device detects that the first electronic device cannot communicate with the remote cloud server or detects that the first electronic device is in a wireless environment and has a digital key to be shared in the digital key APP, the first electronic device may output indication information to indicate that a user approaches a vehicle corresponding to the digital key.

When the first electronic device (or the digital key APP) is close to the vehicle at a distance which enables the electronic device to receive the Bluetooth broadcast transmitted by the vehicle, the first electronic device can establish Bluetooth connection with the vehicle. For example, the first electronic device may perform bluetooth handshake, authentication, and security authentication with the vehicle, and finally complete the establishment of the bluetooth communication channel.

After the bluetooth communication channel is established, if the first electronic device and/or the vehicle cannot communicate with the remote cloud server, the vehicle may send the WiFi password to the first electronic device over the bluetooth communication channel. After receiving the WiFi password, the first electronic device can initiate a WiFi connection request to the vehicle, and then the establishment of the local area network is achieved.

The second electronic device starts the digital key APP. After the digital key APP is started, if the second electronic device detects that communication with the remote cloud server is impossible or detects that the second electronic device is in a wireless environment, the second electronic device may output indication information to indicate that the user is approaching a vehicle corresponding to the digital key. The indication of the indication information may be similar to that described above.

In some embodiments, after the user approaches the vehicle, the second electronic device may also guide the user to manually connect to a WiFi hotspot of the vehicle by way of a guided pop-up window to establish a local area network with the vehicle.

After the first electronic device and the second electronic device establish the local area network with the vehicle, the first electronic device and the second electronic device can access the local cloud service on the vehicle through the local area network, and the process is similar to the activation process of the digital key.

The user can initiate a digital key sharing request through a digital key APP of the first electronic device, the sharing request can be sent to a WiFi hotspot through a local area network, and the WiFi hotspot sends the sharing request to a local cloud service of a vehicle. The local cloud service of the vehicle can return a response message of the sharing request to the digital key APP of the first electronic device through the local area network, so that the initiation process of digital key sharing is completed.

In addition, the local cloud service of the vehicle may also send the digital key to the second electronic device over the local area network. That is, the second electronic device may receive the digital key shared by the first electronic device from the vehicle. The vehicle may send a notification or push message to the second electronic device. The acceptance process of sharing the digital key is completed through the digital key APP on the second electronic device. Thus, the sharing process of the digital key is completed.

In some embodiments, with the vehicle in a communicative connected state with the remote cloud server, the vehicle may synchronize data of the digital key-related service to the remote cloud server so that the remote cloud server may update the database of the remote cloud server with the data, thereby providing better service to the user.

The data synchronization process is described below in conjunction with fig. 5.

Referring to fig. 5, the remote cloud server receives data of the digital key related service transmitted by the vehicle at step S510. Wherein the vehicle is configured to provide digital key related services to the electronic device.

In step S520, the remote cloud server updates the database of the remote cloud server according to the data of the digital key related service.

For example, when the vehicle enters the networked environment from the non-networked environment, the vehicle may report the relevant data generated by the local cloud service to the remote cloud server. The related data may include data related to a digital key generated by the digital key APP and/or data related to a user account in a lan environment. After the remote cloud server receives the relevant data, the relevant data can be compared with the locally stored data to generate the data related to the full-scale digital key of the vehicle and/or the data related to the user account.

In some embodiments, the remote cloud server may also send the full amount of digital key related data and/or user account related data to the vehicle. And after the vehicle receives the full amount of data, updating the database data of the local cloud service for use in the next interaction process with the digital key APP.

The method embodiment of the present application is described in detail above with reference to fig. 1 to 5, and the apparatus embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to fig. 6 to 9. It is to be understood that the description of the method embodiments corresponds to the description of the apparatus embodiments, and therefore reference may be made to the preceding method embodiments for parts not described in detail.

Fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. The electronic device 600 may include a processor 610, a memory 620, and a computer program 630.

Wherein the computer program 630 is stored on the memory 620, the computer program 630, when executed by the processor 610, causes the electronic device 600 to: establishing a local area network with a vehicle; after the local area network establishment is completed, acquiring a digital key related service of the vehicle from the vehicle by using the local area network.
