Detailed Description

The following description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments.

For ease of understanding, an alarm system suitable for use in embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to FIG. 1. In some implementations, the alarm system shown in FIG. 1 may be a video surveillance alarm system. For example, it may be an infant monitor, a video doorbell, a car monitoring system, etc.

Referring to fig. 1, the alarm system 100 includes a communication unit 110, a monitoring unit 120, and a control unit 130.

The communication unit 110 is configured to communicate with the user terminal 140. In some implementations, the communication unit 110 may communicate with the user terminal 140 through the cloud server 150. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the communication unit 110 may also directly communicate with the user terminal 140, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In some implementations, if the alarm system is an in-vehicle alarm system, the communication unit 110 may include an in-vehicle communication unit.

It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the user terminal. The user terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet (Pad), a notebook, a palm computer, a mobile internet device (mobile internet device, MID), a wearable device, etc.

The monitoring unit 120 is configured to monitor a first event within the target environment.

In some implementations, the first event may be a security event that may cause an incident. The first event may have different meanings for different alarm systems. Taking the alarm system as an infant monitor for example, the first event may be an event that endangers the safety of the infant. Taking the alarm system as a visual doorbell for example, the first event may be a home security compromising event. Taking the alarm system as an in-vehicle monitoring system as an example, the first event may be an event endangering a vehicle (e.g., a target vehicle described below), also referred to as a "vehicle end event.

In the embodiment of the present application, the monitoring unit is not particularly limited. In some implementations, the monitoring unit 120 may include a video input device, which may include, for example, a video camera, a digital still camera, and the like. In other implementations, if the alarm system is a vehicle-mounted alarm system, the monitoring unit 120 may include a vehicle intelligent driving domain controller, where the intelligent driving domain controller may also be referred to as an autopilot domain controller (automated driving control unit, ADCU), is a master controller for intelligent sensing and decision making at a vehicle end, and may implement functions such as intelligent driving, intelligent auxiliary parking, and security protection of a sentinel by fusing sensing data of multiple sensors, and is an implementation party for a sentinel mode vehicle end event sensing function. The vehicle-mounted alarm system will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 3, and for brevity, will not be described in detail herein.

And a control unit 130 for controlling the communication unit 110. In some implementations, the control unit 130 may control the communication unit 110 to transmit the video of the first event to the user terminal after the monitoring unit 120 captures the video of the first event.

In some implementations, the control unit 130 may be a device with the control functions described above, for example, may include a processor, which may be a central processing unit (central processing unit, CPU), which may also be other general purpose processors, digital signal processors (digital signal processor, DSP), application specific integrated circuits (application specific integrated circuit, ASIC), off-the-shelf programmable gate arrays (field programmable gate array, FPGA) or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, or the like. A general purpose processor may be a microprocessor or the processor may be any conventional processor or the like.

In other implementations, if the alarm system is a vehicle-mounted alarm system, the control unit 130 may include a vehicle intelligent cabin controller (cockpit domain controller, CDC), where the intelligent cabin controller is a main controller for processing vehicle-end media resources, has functions of video segment storage, video desensitization processing, and the like, and is an implementation party for data communication between the whistle mode cloud and the vehicle-end. In some scenarios, the intelligent class controller may also play media content through an on-board screen, where the on-board alarm system will be described in detail below in conjunction with fig. 3, and for brevity, will not be described in detail herein.

As described above, in the conventional alarm system, the control unit 130 transmits the video of the first event to the user terminal through the communication unit 110 after the monitoring unit 120 captures the video of the first event, so as to alarm the user that the first event occurs. However, capturing the video of the first event typically occurs after the first event is completed, and this way of alerting the user based on the video of the first event may result in less time-efficient alerting triggered for the first event.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the embodiments of the present application provide an alarm system, which may immediately send an alarm message of a first event to a user terminal when the first event occurs, and simultaneously take a video of the first event or a photograph of the first event, until the video of the first event or the photograph of the first event is taken, and the alarm system may send the video of the first event and/or the photograph of the first event to the user terminal again. That is, the timing of sending the alarm message of the first event is immediately after the first event occurs and before the video of the first event or the picture of the first event is taken, which helps to improve the timeliness of the alarm triggered for the first event.

For ease of understanding, an alarm system of an embodiment of the present application is described below in conjunction with FIG. 2. The alarm system 200 shown in fig. 2 may include a communication unit 210, a monitoring unit 220, and a control unit 230. Wherein the function of the communication unit 210 is similar to the function of the communication unit 110, the function of the monitoring unit 220 is similar to the function of the monitoring unit 210, and reference is made to the above description. The following mainly describes the differences between the alarm system provided in the embodiments of the present application and the alarm system 100.

A control unit 220 for controlling the communication unit 210 to transmit an alarm message of the first event to the user terminal in response to the monitoring unit 220 monitoring the occurrence of the first event; and controls the communication unit 210 to transmit the video of the first event and/or the image of the first event to the user terminal in response to the monitoring unit capturing the video of the first event and/or the image of the first event ending.

In the embodiment of the present application, the presentation manner of the alarm message may include multiple modes. For example, the alert message described above may be presented in text. For another example, the alarm message may be presented in a picture. As another example, the alert message described above may be presented in voice. It should be understood that the alarm message may also include one or more of text, pictures, and voice.

In this embodiment of the present application, the notification manner of the alarm message may include various notification manners, for example, the alarm message may be sent to the user terminal through a notification manner of a short message. For another example, the alarm message may notify the user terminal by means of information within the App. For another example, the alert message may inform the user terminal by way of a telephone.

In general, an alarm system may monitor various types of events, which may correspond to different event levels, wherein the event levels may be used to indicate the urgency of the corresponding event. For example, the higher the event level, the higher the degree of urgency of the corresponding event, and conversely, the lower the event level, the lower the degree of urgency of the corresponding event. In the embodiment of the present application, in order to improve user experience, a notification manner of an alarm message may be set for events of different event levels, or in other words, a notification manner of an alarm message of a first event may be associated with an event level of the first event.

In the embodiment of the present application, the association relationship between the notification manner and the event level is not limited. For example, for an event with a higher event level, the notification mode of the alarm message may be set to include the notification mode of the phone, and correspondingly, for an event with a lower event level, the notification mode of the alarm message may be set to include the notification mode of the information in the App.

For another example, for an event with a higher event level, the notification mode of the alarm message may be set to include a notification mode of a short message, and correspondingly, for an event with a lower event level, the notification mode of the alarm message may be set to include a notification mode of information in the App.

Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, an event with a higher event level may correspond to multiple notification manners, and correspondingly, an event with a higher event level may correspond to fewer notification manners. For example, for an event with a higher event level, the notification mode of the alarm message may be set to include the notification mode of the phone and the notification mode of the short message, and correspondingly, for an event with a lower event level, the notification mode of the alarm message may be set to include the notification mode of the information in the App.

For another example, for the event with the higher event level, the notification mode of the alarm message may be set to include the notification mode of the phone and the notification mode of the information in the App, and correspondingly, for the event with the lower event level, the notification mode of the alarm message may be set to include the notification mode of the short message.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, a specific determination manner of a higher event level or a lower event level is not limited. For example, when the event level of the first event is higher than the preset event level, the event level of the first event is higher. For another example, when the event level of the first event is lower than the preset event level, the event level of the first event is lower. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the event level may also directly include a high level and a low level, and accordingly, an event with a high level may correspond to a case where the event level is higher, and an event with a low level may correspond to a case where the event level is lower.

In the embodiment of the present application, the manner of formulating the event level is not limited. For ease of understanding, the manner in which the event levels provided in the embodiments of the present application are set is described below by taking the example in which the first event includes a security event around the target vehicle.

In some implementations, the event level of the first event can be determined based on one or more of: the distance between the place of occurrence of the first event and the target vehicle, the event object type of the first event, the location attribute of the place of occurrence of the first event, the event type of the first event.

Taking an example in which the event level of the first event is determined based on the distance between the place of occurrence of the first event and the target vehicle, in some implementations, the closer the distance between the place of occurrence of the first event and the target vehicle, the higher the degree of urgency of the first event is described, and correspondingly, the higher the event level corresponding to the first event. In other implementations, the farther the first event occurs from the target vehicle, the lower the degree of urgency the first event is, and correspondingly the lower the event level the first event corresponds to.

For example, if the event level of the first event is higher than the event level of the second event, the distance between the place of occurrence of the first event and the target vehicle is smaller than the distance between the place of occurrence of the second event and the target vehicle.

The embodiment of the present application does not limit the determination method of the distance. For example, when the distance between the place where the first event occurs and the target vehicle is smaller than the preset distance, it can be understood that the distance between the place where the first event occurs and the target vehicle is closer. For another example, when the distance between the place of occurrence of the first event and the target vehicle is greater than or equal to the preset distance, it is understood that the distance between the place of occurrence of the first event and the target vehicle is far.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, if the event level of the first event is related to the distance, in order to monitor the distance, the monitoring unit 220 may further include a distance sensor to monitor the distance between the place where the first event occurs and the target vehicle.

Taking the event level of the first event as an example based on the event object type determination, in some implementations, the event object may include at least one other participating object of another vehicle, person, thing, etc. in addition to the target vehicle. The event level of the event object being a movable object is higher than the event level of the event object being a non-movable object. The corresponding event levels may also be different for different types of movable objects. For example, if the event object of the first event includes other vehicles, such as other vehicles colliding with the target vehicle, scratch, etc., the emergency degree of the first event is high, and at this time, the event level of the first event may be high. For another example, if the event object of the first event includes a person, the person inadvertently bumps into a vehicle during walking, or the object of the first event includes an animal, such as an animal running into a target vehicle parked in a parking lot, the first event may have a low emergency level, at which time the event level of the first event may be low. Alternatively, if the event object of the first event includes other movable objects except the target vehicle and the event object of the second event does not include other movable objects, the event level of the first event is higher than the event level of the second event.

Taking as an example the event level of the first event being determined based on an attribute of the location of the target vehicle, in some implementations the attribute of the location of the target vehicle may include a temporary parking spot as well as a parking spot within the parking lot. Correspondingly, if the position of the target vehicle corresponding to the first event is a temporary parking point and the position of the target vehicle corresponding to the second event is a parking point in a parking lot, the event level of the first event is higher than that of the second event.

In other implementations, the attributes of the location where the target vehicle is located may include public parking lots as well as private parking spaces. Correspondingly, if the position of the target vehicle corresponding to the first event is a public parking lot and the position of the target vehicle corresponding to the second event is a private parking lot, the event level of the first event is higher than that of the second event.

In other implementations, the location of the target vehicle may include an outdoor parking spot as well as an indoor parking spot. Correspondingly, if the position of the target vehicle corresponding to the first event is an outdoor parking point and the position of the target vehicle corresponding to the second event is an indoor parking point, the event level of the first event is higher than that of the second event.

Taking the event class of the first event as an example, the event class of the first event is determined based on the event type of the first event, in some implementations, the event type of the first event includes a collision event, an illegal intrusion into the target vehicle event, a fire event occurring within a distance around the target vehicle, a fire event occurring on the target vehicle, a vehicle appearance damage event, and the like. The event levels of different event types can be determined according to the possible loss degree caused by the different event types, and the event level corresponding to the event type with the higher loss degree is higher.

The collision event may include, for example, other vehicles colliding with the target vehicle. Of course, the collision event may be other people or objects colliding with the target vehicle, such as the target vehicle being hit by a high-altitude object, etc.

The event of damaged appearance of the vehicle may include, for example, a person drawing a mess on the target vehicle, and of course, other events that damage the appearance of the vehicle may be included in embodiments of the present application, such as the appearance of the target vehicle being corroded by a special liquid, etc.

Accordingly, in the embodiment of the present application, the event level of the illegal intrusion target vehicle event may be higher than the event level of the collision event, or the event level of the fire event of the target vehicle may be higher than the event level of the fire event occurring within a certain distance around the target vehicle, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application, for example, the event level of the fire event of the target vehicle may be lower than the event level of the fire event occurring within a certain distance around the target vehicle. In addition, the corresponding methods of other event types and event levels may be arbitrarily combined, and are not listed here for brevity.

Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the event level of the first event may be jointly determined based on the event object and the distance described above. For example, if the event object of the first event is another vehicle and the distance is smaller than the preset distance, the emergency degree of the first event is high, and at this time, the event level of the first event may be high. For another example, if the event object of the first event is a person and the distance is greater than or equal to the preset distance, the emergency degree of the first event is low, and at this time, the event level of the first event may be low.

Currently, the video of the first event shot by the conventional alarm system is a video including the whole process of occurrence of the first event, and in this case, the transmission of the video of the first event generally consumes a large amount of traffic. In particular, in some scenarios, the traffic consumption required to transmit video of the first event is especially high when the frequency of occurrence of the first event is high.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the embodiments of the present application further provide a video capturing policy, which may capture, as video of a first event, a video clip within a period of time (for example, a first period of time) before the occurrence of the first event and a video clip within a period of time (for example, a second period of time) during the occurrence of the first event. In general, a video including the two video clips may more completely represent the key information of the first event.

In this application example, the video capture policy does not need to obtain the end of the occurrence of the first event, so that the timeliness of the transmission of the video of the first event by the alarm system can be improved to a certain extent.

In some implementations, the first time period is shorter than the second time period, helping to increase the probability of the critical information of the first event being embodied by the video. For example, the duration of the first period of time may be 10 seconds, and correspondingly, the duration of the second period of time may be 20 seconds. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the duration of the first period may also be equal to the duration of the second period, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

As introduced above, the warning system may be an in-vehicle warning system, and accordingly, the monitoring unit 220 may include a target vehicle intelligent drive domain controller, and the control unit 230 may include a vehicle intelligent compartment controller of the target vehicle. The intelligent driving domain controller is used for monitoring a first event in a target environment around the target vehicle under the condition that the target vehicle enters a sentinel mode, and sending an alarm message of the first event to the intelligent driving domain controller under the condition that the occurrence of the first event is monitored; and in response to receiving the alarm message of the first event, the intelligent compartment controller enters an operational state from a sleep state.

In the embodiment of the application, the intelligent cabin controller can enter the working state from the dormant state under the condition that the alarm message of the first event is received, and correspondingly, the intelligent cabin controller can be in the dormant state under the condition that the alarm message of the first event is not received, so that the electric quantity required by the intelligent cabin controller is reduced.

The device embodiments of the present application are described above in detail with reference to fig. 1 to 2, and the method embodiments of the present application are described below in detail with reference to fig. 3 to 7. It is to be understood that the description of the method embodiments corresponds to the description of the device embodiments, and that parts not described in detail can therefore be seen in the preceding method embodiments.

The scenario 600 illustrated in fig. 6 includes an on-board alert system 610 of a target vehicle, a cloud server 620, and a user terminal 630. Where in-vehicle alarm system 610 has similar functionality as alarm system 200, user terminal 630 may be similar to the user terminal involved in introducing alarm system 100, see above.

In some implementations, the in-vehicle alarm system 610 may include a communication unit 210 (e.g., an in-vehicle communication unit 210), a monitoring unit 220, a control unit 260. As introduced above, the monitoring unit 220 may include an intelligent drive domain controller, an onboard camera, and/or an onboard radar. The control unit 260 may include a smart pod controller.

In some implementations, cloud server 620 may communicate with in-vehicle alarm system 610, and cloud server 620 may also communicate with user terminal 630. In this way, the cloud server 620 may transmit the alarm message of the first event, the video of the first event, the picture of the first event, and the like information from the vehicle-mounted alarm system 610 to the user terminal 630 to alarm the user.

Fig. 7 shows a schematic flow chart of a method for transmitting an alarm message according to an embodiment of the present application. The method shown in fig. 7 includes steps S710 to S770.

In step S710, the target vehicle enters a sentinel mode.

In some implementations, when a user of the target vehicle turns on the sentinel mode function and locks the vehicle to leave, the intelligent driving domain controller of the target vehicle controls the sentinel mode of the target vehicle to enter the working state, and at this time, the intelligent driving domain controller can monitor the environment around the target vehicle by continuously monitoring the vehicle-mounted camera picture and the vehicle-mounted radar signal.

In general, to reduce power consumption of other units in the target vehicle, other on-board units (e.g., intelligent deck controllers, on-board communication units, etc.) other than the intelligent deck controllers may be controlled to enter a sleep state. Of course, other on-board units may be in operation if power consumption issues of other units in the target vehicle are not considered.

In some implementations, during operation, the sentinel mode may continuously buffer video around the body of the target vehicle in a short period of time in the past, so that when a first event (also called a sentinel event) is detected, the video before the occurrence of the first event can be saved in time, and key information of the first event is recorded. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, if the video of the first event only includes the video clip during the occurrence of the first event, the video of the surroundings of the body of the target vehicle in the past short time may not be cached, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In step S720, when the intelligent driving domain controller detects that the first event occurs, the intelligent driving domain controller controls the sentry mode to enter an alarm state, and wakes up the intelligent cabin domain controller and the vehicle-mounted communication unit immediately.

In some implementations, when the intelligent driving domain controller detects that the first event occurs, an alarm message of the first event may be sent to the intelligent driving domain controller, and a buffered video 10s before the occurrence of the first event. Meanwhile, the intelligent driving domain controller can continuously transmit the real-time video of the first event to the intelligent driving domain controller until the alarm is released.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the alarm contact may be understood as ending the first event. Of course, in some situations, the first event may take a long time to occur, and if the shooting of the first event reaches the maximum alarm time (for example, 15 min), the transmission of the real-time video of the first event may also be stopped, so as to reduce the flow required for transmitting the video of the first event.

In step S730, in response to receiving the alarm message of the first event, the intelligent class controller may send the alarm message of the first event to the cloud server through the vehicle-mounted communication unit.

In step S740, the cloud server determines a notification manner of the alarm message of the first event based on the event level of the first event.

It should be noted that, the above scheme of determining the notification manner based on the event level of the first event may be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated herein for brevity.

In step S750, the cloud server sends an alarm message of the first event to the user terminal based on the determined notification manner.

In step S760, in response to the end of the video capturing of the first event, the intelligent class controller may send the video of the first event to the cloud server through the vehicle-mounted communication unit.

In some implementations, after the intelligent compartment controller receives the video of the first 30s of the first event, the intelligent compartment controller packages the video of the first event separately and performs desensitization processing to obtain a video data packet of the first event. And then the intelligent cabin controller can send a video data packet of the first event to the cloud server through the vehicle-mounted communication unit.

In some implementations, to reduce the size of the video data packet of the first event, the intelligent capsule controller may adjust the resolution of the video data of the first event and upload the adjusted video data packet to the cloud server. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, if the size of the video data packet of the first event is not considered, the resolution of the video data may not be adjusted.

In some implementations, the intelligent deck controller may continue to receive the real-time video of the first event while transmitting the video data packet of the first event, and save the real-time video of the first event locally to the target vehicle for the user to review locally to the target vehicle. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, if the requirement of locally referring to the real-time video of the first event at the target vehicle is not considered, the target vehicle may not store the real-time video of the first event.

In step S770, the cloud server sends the video of the first event to the user terminal.

Accordingly, the user can view the video of the first event through the user terminal without going to the scene to view the vehicle. Of course, in some cases, the user may go to the target vehicle to view the unprocessed full version event video locally and may derive as evidence.

In some implementations, the user can view the complete video of the first event online based on the event number of the first event. For example, the alarm message of the first event may be associated with an event number of the first event, and correspondingly, the first intelligent cabin controller target vehicle may also be associated with the event number of the first event when the first intelligent cabin controller target vehicle caches the video of the first event. Therefore, after the user receives the alarm message of the first event through the user terminal, the complete version video associated with the event number of the first event can be called from the local of the target vehicle through the cloud server based on the event number of the first event.

Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the user terminal may also store the complete video of the first event locally after obtaining the complete video of the first event, or the user terminal may also store the complete video of the first event in the cloud server after obtaining the complete video of the first event. The embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.
