Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely 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. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
It should be noted that the drawings provided in this application are merely schematic and not drawn to scale, and that these drawings are provided to assist understanding of the technical solutions of the present application and are not intended to constitute any limitation to the present application and the scope thereof.
The embodiment of the application provides a communication module, a communication method and a vehicle networking system, and before introducing the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, a hardware architecture related to the embodiment of the application is explained.
Currently, the car networking system is composed of four parts (as shown in fig. 1) of a vehicle host (also referred to as "controller of vehicle", "vehicle master controller" or "associated controller of vehicle end", etc.) 101, a vehicle T-box (vehicle terminal device) 102, a mobile application (e.g. user mobile phone APP) 103, and a TSP (Telematics Service Provider) background system 104, where the vehicle host 101 is mainly used for audiovisual entertainment and vehicle information display in the vehicle.
Wherein the vehicle T-box is fixedly mounted at a fixed location of the vehicle 105. The vehicle T-box communicates with the TSP background system (further, with the mobile phone APP) on one hand, so that the display and control of vehicle information through the mobile phone APP are realized, and specifically, the vehicle T-box communicates with the mobile phone APP through the TSP background system in a data link mode; on the other hand, the vehicle T-box and the vehicle host machine are communicated through a CAN bus to realize the transmission of information and instructions, and the output of a microphone and a loudspeaker shared by the two parties is realized through audio connection.
The communication function of the vehicle T-box is mainly realized by the communication module 106 packaged therein. At present, a user acquires vehicle information or controls a communication process of a vehicle through a mobile phone APP as follows: the user sends a control command through the mobile phone APP, after the TSP background receives the control command from the mobile phone APP, the TSP background sends a monitoring request command to a communication module (packaged in the vehicle T-box) of the vehicle T-box installed at a fixed position of the vehicle, and after receiving the monitoring request command, the communication module transmits the monitoring request command to an MCU (micro controller Unit) processor in the T-box for analysis and processing, so that a control command is generated for controlling the vehicle. Thereby, it is possible to help the user to remotely start the vehicle, turn on the air conditioner, adjust the seat to a proper position, and the like.
As described above, the current communication module is packaged in the vehicle T-box, and the vehicle T-box is fixedly installed at a fixed position of the vehicle, resulting in a complex structure and a single installation manner of the vehicle T-box.
The inventor of the present invention found that since the communication module is packaged in the vehicle T-box, and the vehicle T-box is fixedly mounted in a fixed position in the vehicle, the pick-and-place, detection, maintenance, replacement, upgrade, modification, etc. of the communication module are particularly limited, which is very inconvenient, resulting in much time consumption for maintenance and upgrade of the communication module, and high complexity and cost.
In view of the above, the present invention provides a novel communication module.
Specifically, according to an embodiment, the communication module 206 may be configured to be separately connected with the vehicle 205, as shown in fig. 2. That is, the communication module may be changed from the original form packaged in the vehicle T-box102 to a form not packaged in the vehicle T-box, but existing separately, for example, may be connected separately to the vehicle. From this, can make getting of communication module put, detect, maintenance, replacement, upgrading, transformation etc. more convenient, can reduce the maintenance of communication module and the complexity and the cost of upgrading from this.
To better illustrate that the communication module 206 is connected to the vehicle separately, the communication module 206 is shown in fig. 2 as being connected to the vehicle outside of the vehicle 205, but in practice, the communication module 206 may be connected to the vehicle inside the vehicle, such as through a communication interface on the vehicle. Thus, the manner in which the communication module 206 and the vehicle 205 are connected to the vehicle outside the vehicle shown in fig. 2 should not be taken as a limitation of the present application.
According to another embodiment, the communication module can be configured not only not to be enclosed in the vehicle T-box, but also to be able to be connected separately to the vehicle in a position-replaceable manner. For example, unlike the fixed position in which the communication module is originally packaged in a T-box and the vehicle T-box is mounted on the vehicle, the position at which the communication module according to the embodiment of the present application is connected to the vehicle may not be fixed. Therefore, the communication module is convenient and quick to take, place, detect, maintain, replace, upgrade, reform and the like, and the communication module can be greatly reduced
Complexity and cost of repair and upgrade of the group.
In accordance with yet another embodiment, the communication module can be configured to be integrated with other components (for ease of description, these other components and the components into which the communication module is integrated are referred to herein as a "module set
Part 307) connected to the vehicle in such a way that the position can be changed, as shown in fig. 3. That is, the 0 communication module and the other components may be integrated together as a module integrated component, connected with the vehicle, and connected with the vehicle
The location of the vehicle connection may not be fixed. From this, because the position of being connected with the vehicle can not be fixed, but can connect and put and look over the position that detects easily, can make communication module's getting from this put, detect, maintenance, replacement, upgrade, reform transform etc. more convenient, can reduce communication module's maintenance and the complexity and the cost of upgrading from this.
5 according to an embodiment of the present application, communication with the vehicle through the communication module or the module integration part via
A controller for a vehicle is capable of controlling the vehicle.
Here, the other components may be components in a T-box of the vehicle, such as a navigation component (e.g., GPS/GNSS navigation) and/or an MCU component, and may also be other components.
In such a case, the communication module according to the embodiment of the present application is implemented in a form different from that of the communication module in the 0 original in-vehicle T-box. Whether the communication module is separately connected to the vehicle,
still be integrated with communication module and other parts and be connected with the vehicle with removable position's mode as module integrated part together, it can not all be fixed in a specific position, for example can be located a more convenient and easy-to-use position as required, and can also change the position as required, makes its detection, maintenance and upgrading etc. very swiftly convenient from this, the maintenance that can greatly reduced communication module and the complexity 5 and the cost of upgrading. In summary, the versatility and/or the variety of connection locations of the communication module are improved.
According to one embodiment, the communication module itself may be formed as a standard, separately connected to the vehicle. Here, the "standard component" may refer to a part or a component that can be standardized in terms of structure, size, and the like and can be manufactured, or may also be a component that can be manufactured in a unified manner.
By forming the communication module into a standard part which is separately connected with the vehicle, the problem that the maintenance and the upgrade of the communication module are time-consuming, complex and high in cost due to the fact that the 0 communication module is packaged in the T-box of the vehicle and the T-box of the vehicle is installed at a fixed position of the vehicle, and the communication module is convenient to maintain, replace, upgrade, reform and the like is avoided. Therefore, the versatility of the communication module is improved.
According to one embodiment, the communication module together with the components integrated therewith, i.e. the module integrated components, may be formed as one standard.
According to another embodiment, the communication module itself may be implemented by an intelligent communication terminal. Namely, the intelligent communication terminal can be used for replacing the communication module in the original vehicle T-box.
According to another embodiment, the communication module and the components integrated therewith, i.e. the module-integrated components, may be implemented by an intelligent communication terminal. For example, the intelligent communication terminal can be used for realizing the functions of the original vehicle T-box and replacing the vehicle T-box as the vehicle-mounted terminal.
In other words, as shown in fig. 4, it may be implemented as the communication module described above through an intelligent communication terminal, or as the module integration component described above.
In addition, according to the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, the smart communication terminal may be implemented to include the communication module capable of being connected to the vehicle, or may be implemented to include a module integration component, that is, it may include not only the communication module but also other components integrated with the communication module.
On the other hand, the original scheme of packaging the communication module in the vehicle T-box and installing the vehicle T-box at a fixed position on the vehicle causes great challenges and difficulties in the aspect of intellectualization of vehicle control. The inventor of the present invention proposes to separately connect the communication module with the vehicle or to connect the module integrated part with the vehicle in such a manner that the position can be changed, instead of the communication module being packaged in the vehicle T-box and the vehicle T-box being mounted in a fixed position of the vehicle.
Of course, when the communication module is separately connected to the vehicle, the communication module may not be fixedly connected to a specific position, but may be connected to a different position. Therefore, the universality and/or the diversity of the connection positions of the communication module are improved. That is, in the present application, when the communication module is a separate component, it is not limited to being fixedly attached to the vehicle. Therefore, when the communication module is required to be used for communicating with the vehicle, the communication module can be connected with the vehicle at any time, and the communication module can be used immediately, so that the use of a user is facilitated. Therefore, the communication module according to the embodiment of the application is used as an independent component, and compared with the existing vehicle-mounted T-box, the communication module does not need to occupy a fixed position of a vehicle, so that the occupation of vehicle space can be saved, the vehicle is arranged compactly, and more vehicle space is released.
Moreover, in such a case, since the communication module according to the embodiment of the present application and/or the communication module integrated with other components is not limitedly fixedly mounted or packaged at a specific position, it is more convenient to improve and promote several aspects of intelligentization, processing capability, and the like of the communication module.
Further, the replacement position includes a replacement connection position, i.e., a position at which the communication module or the TBOX is connected to the vehicle. When communication module is connected with the vehicle in this application, can select the hookup location according to actual demand, all modes that can realize communication function in the vehicle all can. In the embodiment, the connection position of the communication module is not fixed, so that the connection convenience of the communication module and the vehicle is greatly improved, the fixed space of the vehicle is not occupied, and the utilization rate of the space of the vehicle is improved; the communication module can be connected with the vehicle through various different interfaces, so that the universality of the communication module is improved.
Furthermore, as shown in fig. 6, the communication module and the vehicle may be connected in a plurality of ways, such as at least one of wireless connection, wired connection, and mechanical connection.
The wireless connection comprises at least one of Wifi, bluetooth, UWB, MTC, zigBee and NFC; the wired connection comprises at least one of a USB (Type-A, type-B and Type-C), a Lightning interface, a CAN bus, an RJ-45 interface, a serial interface, a parallel interface, an IO interface and a self-defined communication port; and the mechanical connection comprises at least one of clamping connection, hinge connection, magnetic attraction, adhesion, elastic connection and threaded connection. The specific connection mode is not fixed and is not unique. The appropriate connection mode can be selected according to the hardware performance of the communication module or the vehicle. It should be noted that the connection mode between the vehicle and the external communication terminal in this embodiment is not limited to the above-mentioned connection mode, and does not exclude the generation of a new communication connection mode with the development of technology. Any connection method may be used, whether wireless, wired, mechanical, or other connection method is possible, as long as data transmission is possible.
Moreover, the inventors of the present invention have found that when the user wants to control the vehicle, it is necessary to transmit the control command through the mobile phone APP-TSP back-end-communication module (vehicle T-box) -such a transmission and control chain of the vehicle main machine; on the other hand, when the vehicle feeds back information (data) to the user, a reverse transmission chain is required to transmit the information.
The inventors of the present invention have recognized that, due to the long transmission chain of the current car networking system, the processing entities (participants) through which the control commands or the transmission data are subjected to are large, the transmission process is complicated, and the transmission delay is correspondingly large, which is an important reason for the difficulty and challenge in meeting the user demand that desires higher real-time.
Thus, the inventor of the present invention proposes a new car networking system architecture.
From the above, the current car networking system is composed of four parts, namely, a vehicle-side association controller 101, a vehicle T-box102, a mobile application terminal 103, and a background system 104 (as shown in fig. 1). When a user wants to control the vehicle 105, the control command needs to be transmitted through such a transmission and control chain of the mobile phone APP 103-TSP background 104-communication module 106 (vehicle T-box 102) -vehicle host (i.e., associated controller) 101; on the other hand, when the vehicle feeds back information (data) to the user, a reverse transmission chain is required to transmit the information.
According to the embodiment of the present application, the smart communication terminal 307 may be used to function as the communication module 106 or as the vehicle T-box (in-vehicle terminal) 102 including the communication module to implement the function of the original communication module. In this case, the architecture of the car networking system may be changed to: the system comprises a vehicle-end association controller 301, an intelligent communication terminal 307, a mobile application end 303 and a background system 304, namely, the original vehicle T-box is directly replaced by the intelligent communication terminal. Of course, the five components of the association controller 101, the intelligent communication terminal 307, the vehicle T-box102, the mobile application terminal 103 and the background system 104 on the vehicle side may be changed.
In addition, the inventor of the present invention proposes that the intelligent communication terminal can be integrated with the mobile application terminal of the user, that is, the function of the communication module can be directly grafted to the mobile application terminal, so that the architecture of the car networking system is changed to: an associated controller 701 at the vehicle end, a smart communication terminal 706 (which also covers the functionality of the original mobile application 703), and a TSP backend system 704, as shown in fig. 7. Therefore, the novel architecture reduces the number of participants, namely 3 participants from the original 4 participants, thereby reducing the processing complexity, the processing delay and the transmission delay and simplifying the system architecture.
With the simplified system architecture, the operation flow of the system can be simplified. For example, for control and/or operation without the background participation of the TSP, for example, simple vehicle information display, data transmission and information interaction can be directly performed between a mobile application terminal (intelligent communication terminal) and an associated controller of a vehicle, so as to realize information display and control functions. And for control and/or operation that does require the participation of the TSP background, it can still be implemented via the TSP background. Therefore, the number of transmission and control participants in the working process of the system can be reduced, the processing complexity and the processing and transmission delay are greatly reduced, and the system architecture is simplified.
As described above, according to the embodiment of the present application, the above-described "replacement position" may be referred to as "replacement connection position", that is, a position at which the communication module or the module integration part is connected to the vehicle. That is, whether the communication module is separate or integrated with other components, the location of the connection can be changed as desired when making a connection with the vehicle. Wherein, the timing for changing the position of the connection may not be limited at all. That is, it can be changed at any time as needed. Of course, it is preferable not to affect ongoing communications, especially emergency communications, such as an emergency call for a vehicle, when changing the location of the connection. In this case, a prompt, reminder, or warning may be made at the intelligent communication terminal.
Since the position of the connection may not be limited in the embodiment of the present application, the position of the connection may not be required as long as the required connection can be established with the vehicle. Further, for convenience of user operation and/or maintenance upgrade, etc., the position of connection may be set at a more convenient place.
According to the embodiment of the application, the connection with the vehicle can comprise at least one of a wireless connection, a wired connection and a mechanical connection. That is, the communication module and the vehicle may be connected wirelessly, may be connected by wire, or may be mechanically connected.
According to the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned wireless connection mode may be any wireless connection, for example, wifi, bluetooth, UWB, MTC, zigBee, NFC, or the like.
According to the embodiment of the present application, the wired connection may be any wired connection, such as a USB interface, a Type-C interface, a Lightning interface, a CAN bus, an RJ-45 interface, a serial interface, a parallel interface, an IO interface, a customized communication port, and the like.
According to the embodiment of the present application, the mechanical connection may be a detachable connection such as a snap connection, a hinge, a magnetic attraction, an adhesion, an elastic connection, a screw connection, and the like.
It should be noted that neither the wired connection nor the mechanical connection according to the embodiments of the present application fixedly mounts the communication module on the vehicle, i.e., substantially different from the fixed position of the current vehicle-mounted T-box on the vehicle, nor is the communication module in the embodiments of the present application enclosed in the vehicle-mounted T-box.
Therefore, as long as the vehicle CAN provide a suitable connection mode, such as a wireless connection, for example, a common usb interface, a Type-C interface, a Lightning interface, a CAN bus, etc., the communication module CAN be conveniently connected to the vehicle without being fixed at a specific position. More specifically, the wired connection manner described above may be provided at a plurality of locations of the vehicle, such as USB interfaces and the like that are currently generally provided near the driving location, on the front side of the vehicle seat, and the like, in which case the communication module may be connected to the USB interface near the driving location, or may be connected to the USB interface on the front side of the vehicle seat, and is not required to be limited by the connection location as in the vehicle T-box of the current internet of vehicles system. Therefore, the universality of the universal module and the diversity of the connection positions are improved.
It should be noted that, according to the embodiments of the present application, the connection method of the present application is not limited to the connection method exemplified above, but all possible applicable connection methods may be adopted, including not only the connection methods existing in the foregoing and the related art, but also any possible applicable connection method appearing in the future.
For easier understanding, taking wireless WiFi as an example, a case of wireless communication connection with a vehicle when a mobile phone as an intelligent communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present application serves as a communication module capable of being connected with the vehicle alone will be described in detail.
When the vehicle and the communication module are in the same local area network, before the vehicle and the communication module communicate with each other, any one of the vehicle (such as an associated controller of the vehicle) and the communication module can send a connection request to the other party through a WiFi channel, after the other party receives the connection request, the operation such as related identity verification can be carried out, and after the verification is not wrong, a communication channel can be established between the vehicle and the communication module. It should be noted that the local area network may be a local area network provided by a third party terminal, such as WiFi for home use, or a local area network generated by a mobile phone hotspot. WiFi connected with the vehicle and the mobile phone can not have the function of accessing the public network, and when the WiFi connected with the vehicle and the mobile phone does not have the function of accessing the public network, data transmission and control between the vehicle and the mobile phone can only be realized. When the function of accessing the public network is provided, data transmission between the two is not limited, but any one of the two can access the public network. Thus, the two can utilize the WiFi communication channel for data interaction. The WiFi connection can be utilized to realize the function of direct communication between the vehicle and the mobile phone in the same local area network, and the convenience of communication connection between the vehicle and an external terminal is improved.
In order to describe the wired connection method in detail, a case will be described where a communication module that can be connected to a vehicle alone is communicatively connected to the vehicle, taking a USB communication interface as an example.
At present, the vehicle cockpit is mostly provided with a USB interface, and the communication module in this embodiment can be provided with the USB interface as well, and when the vehicle needs to communicate with the communication module, can directly aim at the USB interface of this communication module and vehicle and be connected. The two can communicate data by means of the USB interface. It can be seen that according to the embodiment of the application, the vehicle and the communication module can directly communicate with each other through the existing interface.
As described above, in the present application, the communication connection between the vehicle and the communication module can be achieved by using various connection means. For another example, the communication connection between the vehicle and the communication module can also be realized by using a mechanical connection. For example, magnetic attraction can be used. Specifically, a magnetic suction interface can be arranged at a certain part or certain parts of the vehicle end, a corresponding magnetic suction interface is also arranged on the communication module, when the distance between the two magnetic suction interfaces is within a preset range, the magnetic suction interfaces attract each other due to the existence of magnetic force, the magnetic suction interfaces are finally contacted and connected, after the contact and connection, a communication link between the vehicle and the communication module is established through the magnetic suction interface, and then data can be transmitted through the magnetic suction interface, and even more, the communication module can be powered through the link. For economy of disclosure, further details of other mechanical coupling means are not given. In the embodiment, the vehicle and the communication module are in communication connection in a mechanical connection mode, so that the connection diversity of the vehicle and the communication module or the intelligent communication terminal can be realized. In addition, the communication connection can be performed by utilizing the conventional common connection mode, so that the universality of the communication connection between the vehicle and the communication module can be improved.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the connection of the module integration part to the vehicle is similar to the case where the communication module is integrated in the module integration part, and will not be described in detail herein.
Further, in consideration of stability of connection of the vehicle with the communication module or the module integrated component, a fixing component 808 may be provided at a connection interface of the vehicle with the communication module or the module integrated component to ensure stability and firmness of connection, as shown in fig. 8. The fixing component may be at least one of a buckle, a lock, a tie, etc., and a suitable fixing manner may be selected as appropriate.
In addition, according to the embodiment of the present application, not only the connection manner between the vehicle and the communication module or the module integrated component can be diversified, but also the mounting position of the communication module or the module integrated component can be diversified.
For example, as shown in fig. 9-1 and 9-2, the communication module may be separately mounted or attached (attach) on the replaceable component of the vehicle, or the communication module may be integrated within a module integrated component (e.g., a vehicle T-box) and the module integrated component may be mounted or attached on the replaceable component of the vehicle.
Fig. 9-2 schematically illustrates an example of attachment of a communication module or module integrated component to an exchangeable component of a vehicle, and the manner of attachment of fig. 9-2 should not be construed as limiting the manner of attachment of the present application. In summary, any possible attachment means is possible in the present application.
The manner in which the communication module or module integrated component is connected to the vehicle (e.g., to an associated controller of the vehicle) when the communication module or module integrated component is mounted or attached to the replaceable component can be referred to the examples described above. It should be noted that the selection of the specific connection mode can be performed according to the mounting or attaching position of the communication module or the module integrated component (the mounting or attaching position on the replaceable component).
Since the replaceable component is easily detachable and attachable when the telecommunications module or the module integrated component is mounted or attached on the replaceable component, such an attachment according to the embodiments of the present application will allow easy detachment and attachment of the telecommunications module or the module integrated component when the telecommunications module or the module integrated component requires maintenance, replacement, or the like. Thus, the portable mounting and dismounting of the communication module or the module integrated component can be realized.
As described above, according to the embodiment of the present application, the above-described communication module may be mounted or attached on an exchangeable part of a vehicle as a module integrated part alone or integrated with other parts as shown in fig. 9-1 and 9-2. Install communication module or module integrated component on the removable part of vehicle, can improve the replaceability of communication module or this device or part, make maintenance, replacement, upgrading, transformation etc. of communication module more convenient from this, correspondingly improved communication module's commonality greatly.
According to the embodiment of the application, the replaceable component can comprise a rearview mirror, a tire, a steering wheel, an instrument panel, a shark fin, a driving recorder, a driver monitoring system DMS, an ETC module, an automobile reading lamp and the like. In addition, the replaceable component may also be a customized replaceable component, for example, a component capable of accommodating or attaching a communication module, or an integrated component capable of accommodating or attaching a module. Although some examples of replaceable components are given herein, it should be understood that replaceable components according to embodiments of the present application may not be limited to those shown.
According to the embodiment of the present application, the smart communication terminal may include a mobile phone, a satellite phone, a paging terminal, a smart robot, a telephone watch, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant, a vehicle-mounted computer, and the like. Although some examples of the intelligent communication terminal are given here, it should be understood that the intelligent communication terminal according to the embodiment of the present application may not be limited to those shown, but may be any intelligent terminal device capable of implementing a communication connection with a vehicle.
When the intelligent communication terminal is a mobile phone or other communication equipment, a special vehicle T-box or a communication module does not need to be purchased, so that the cost is saved for a user, and the mobile phone or the communication equipment of the user obtains more value.
The intelligent robot can provide more man-machine interaction than a common intelligent terminal.
According to an embodiment of the present application, the smart communication terminal described above may be configured to establish a connection with a vehicle and communicate with the vehicle in response to an operation by a user or in response to a request from the vehicle.
In the case of using the intelligent communication terminal to connect with the vehicle, as described above, the architecture of the car networking system is changed, and at this time, the changed architecture of the car networking system may be: the system comprises an intelligent communication terminal, a vehicle and a TSP background system added when needed.
In the vehicle networking system architecture, data transmission and vehicle control can be realized by directly communicating the intelligent communication terminal and the vehicle through at least one of the wireless connection, the wired connection and the mechanical connection; the intelligent communication terminal can also communicate with the TSP background system to perform information exchange and transmission. The TSP backend system and the vehicle may also communicate with each other directly, or may not communicate with each other directly, which is not limited in this application.
According to the embodiment of the application, at least one of the following functions can be realized through the intelligent communication terminal:
emergency calls for vehicles, voice calls, video calls, exception and fault reporting and handling of vehicles and their components, related upgrades on vehicles, data transmission and sharing, intelligent driving, advisory services, real-time and non-real-time control of vehicles, audio-visual entertainment, and the like.
It should be noted here that, although some functions are illustrated above, the functions that can be implemented by the intelligent communication terminal according to the embodiments of the present application are not limited to the above, and all functions that can interact with a vehicle using the intelligent communication terminal can be applied in the present application.
According to the embodiment of the application, a user can check the information of the vehicle and/or control the vehicle through the control interface on the intelligent communication terminal.
Specifically, for example, an application APP or a similar program may be installed on the smart communication terminal to support convenient operation and control of the mobile phone. Namely, the user can check the vehicle information and control the vehicle through the control interface on the intelligent communication terminal. Therefore, the communication module is changed into the intelligent communication terminal, the intelligence and the interactivity of the Internet of vehicles terminal can be fully improved, great convenience is brought, and the user experience can be greatly improved.
According to the embodiment of the application, in response to the operation of a user on the operation interface, the associated controller arranged on the vehicle can feed back required information to the intelligent communication terminal or provide data for generating the information, and/or implement required control of the vehicle.
As mentioned above, the user side APP can be installed on the mobile phone, and correspondingly, the vehicle side APP can also be installed on the vehicle, so that the interaction is more convenient.
According to the embodiment of the application, in response to the operation of a user on the control interface, the vehicle-mounted information communication system service provider which establishes communication connection with the intelligent communication terminal feeds back required information to the intelligent communication terminal or provides data for generating the information, and/or sends instructions related to required control to the vehicle to realize the control.
From the above description, those skilled in the art can appreciate that more convenient data transmission and vehicle control can be achieved on each side by using a different car networking terminal (i.e., using an intelligent communication terminal) than the related art.
The communication module provided by the application is configured to be capable of being connected with a vehicle alone or by being integrated in a module integrated component. The communication module can be an independent functional structure component and is communicated with the vehicle in an external connection mode, and the universality of the communication module is improved.
Moreover, as described above, the mounting position of the communication module on the vehicle is replaceable, and the diversity of the mounting position of the communication module is improved.
In order to more clearly describe the communication process between the vehicle and the intelligent communication terminal in the present application, a mobile phone and the vehicle are described by using WiFi communication as an example.
Specifically, the mobile phone and the vehicle are in the same local area network, and at this time, the mobile phone and the vehicle can be connected by using WiFi. As mentioned earlier, can install user side APP in the cell-phone, the vehicle also can install vehicle end APP. The user side APP can be provided with various function keys, a user can select corresponding buttons to operate according to needs after the user opens the mobile phone APP, the mobile phone generates corresponding function demand instructions after obtaining the function operations selected by the user, the function demand instructions are transmitted to a processor (such as a vehicle associated controller) of the vehicle through a WiFi communication channel by means of a WiFi communication interface of the vehicle, and the processor of the vehicle controls corresponding components or function chips to execute corresponding actions according to the function demand instructions. Therefore, various real-time and non-real-time control functions of the mobile phone and the vehicle, including a remote control function, are realized by means of WiFi. It should be noted that all functions capable of interacting with the vehicle by using the intelligent communication terminal can be applied in the present application.
The above embodiments disclose that in the present application, the intelligent communication terminal establishes a connection with the vehicle and communicates with the vehicle in response to a user operation. According to the method, the communication connection with the vehicle is actively established according to the actual requirements of a user, and similarly, the vehicle can also actively establish the communication connection with the intelligent communication terminal according to the actual requirements.
Specifically, for example, in the process of monitoring the running state of the vehicle, when an emergency call is required, the vehicle may automatically generate an emergency call instruction, and transmit the emergency call instruction to a mobile phone in the same local area network via a WiFi interface of the vehicle, and after receiving the emergency call instruction, the mobile phone reminds the user in a preset manner and may immediately and automatically make an emergency rescue call.
Furthermore, the monitoring of the vehicle running state is not limited to the monitoring of the vehicle, and the vehicle can be monitored through the intelligent communication terminal. For example, a vibration sensor can be arranged in the intelligent communication terminal, when the intelligent communication terminal is placed in a vehicle and the vibration sensor monitors abnormal vibration, whether a preset emergency call condition is met or not can be judged according to the vibration frequency, and if the preset emergency call condition is met, the intelligent communication terminal can automatically trigger the emergency call function. Similarly, the method for the intelligent communication terminal to sense whether the vehicle is in an emergency state in the present application is not limited to the vibration sensor, and may also be monitored by using other components or in other manners, which is not specifically limited in the present application.
In the application, passive communication connection can be established between the vehicle and the communication module or the module integrated component according to user requirements or user operation, and active communication connection can be established according to the driving condition of the vehicle. Meanwhile, the communication mode can be realized by a common communication connection mode, and the vehicle does not need to be provided with an additional communication part. Therefore, the component installation of the vehicle is simplified, and the diversity of vehicle communication connection is improved.
According to the embodiment of the application, the audio and video playing of the vehicle can be carried out through the intelligent communication terminal. That is to say, the audio and video functions of the vehicle can be transferred to the intelligent communication terminal, and the playing of the audio and video on the vehicle is realized by means of the external intelligent communication terminal. For example, the vehicle itself may not be configured with the audio/video function, but use the audio/video function of the intelligent communication terminal. Or, under the condition that the audio and video function of the vehicle is failed, the intelligent communication terminal can be used for playing the audio and video.
Namely, according to the embodiment of the application, under the condition that the audio and video playing function of the vehicle is abnormal or fails or the vehicle is not provided with the audio and video function, the audio and video playing can be carried out through the intelligent communication terminal.
According to an embodiment of the present application, the communication between the smart communication terminal and the vehicle may be encrypted via an encryption module.
The safety of vehicle communication and information transmission is a concern for users, and especially today, big data technology is widely applied, so that the safety requirements of users for data and information transmission are more and more urgent. By applying the encryption technology in the application, the safety of the communication and the information transmission of the vehicle can be guaranteed, and therefore the user experience and the satisfaction degree can be greatly improved.
Further, according to an embodiment of the present application, the above-described encryption modules may be distributively provided on at least two of the smart communication terminal, the vehicle, and the telematics service provider TSP. By distributedly arranging the encryption function at different participants or processing entities, the safety of vehicle communication and information transmission can be improved more. Particularly, when the intelligent communication terminal, the vehicle and the vehicle-mounted information communication system service provider TSP are provided with encryption functions, the safety of vehicle communication and information transmission can be more thoroughly and strictly protected.
As shown in fig. 10, an encryption module 1, an encryption module 2, and an encryption module 3 may be provided at the smart communication terminal, the vehicle, and the telematics service provider TSP, respectively. It should be noted here that the encryption module is not necessary for each of the intelligent communication terminal, the vehicle, and the in-vehicle information communication system.
According to the embodiment of the present application, the encryption may include symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption, hash algorithm, and any combination thereof.
The encryption and decryption keys of the symmetric encryption algorithm are the same, the encryption key and the decryption key of the asymmetric encryption algorithm are different, and the hash algorithm needs the key.

It should be noted here that the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned exemplary encryption algorithm, but may select an appropriate encryption algorithm according to actual situations or technical developments. The specific encryption process is a common usage manner of each algorithm, and is not described in detail here.

Specifically, the wireless charging means changes the current into a magnetic field after being connected to an external power source, and is a constantly changing magnetic field. Through the action of near field induction, the coil in the communication module can receive the energy that wireless charging component produced, because the magnetic field of wireless charging component constantly changes, the magnetic flux in the coil also constantly changes, and from this, communication module or module integrated component can utilize induction electric power to charge.
