Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantageous technical effects to be solved by the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and a plurality of exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
FIG. 1 illustrates a flowchart of a method for vehicle burglar alarm according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The following exemplary examples describe the method according to the invention in more detail.
The method may comprise steps S1 to S4. In step S1, it is identified whether a person approaching the host vehicle and/or opening the door is a stranger who has not taken the host vehicle. In the present embodiment of the present invention, the own vehicle in the parked state can monitor the surrounding information of the own vehicle through its onboard camera, particularly an external camera installed at each position of the vehicle. When it is detected that a person is approaching the vehicle in an attempt to open the door (i.e., the distance between the person and the door is smaller than a preset distance threshold value, for example), and/or when it is detected that the person is opening the door, particularly when the door is not opened using a car key or a remote controller, a facial image of the person can be acquired through the vehicle-mounted camera, and face recognition processing is performed on the acquired facial image so as to extract facial features of the person. The extracted facial features are compared with a facial feature database of familiar people of the own vehicle, whereby it can be determined whether the person is a stranger who has not taken the own vehicle. During daily use of the vehicle, facial information of all persons who have taken the vehicle (especially the user of the vehicle and his family friends) is identified and stored under authorized conditions to build a facial feature database for the familiar persons of the vehicle.
If a person approaching the vehicle and/or opening the door cannot extract the facial features of the person by carrying a mask, or the like, the person is determined to be a stranger who has not ridden on the vehicle, and is highly suspicious.
If the person is a stranger who has not taken the vehicle, an image of the person' S behavior acquired by the in-vehicle camera 11 is subjected to image processing in step S2 to determine whether there is suspicious behavior of the person. The acquired images can be processed by means of an object classifier and/or a convolutional neural network, which has been trained beforehand for a sufficient number of suitable image sequences, so that suspicious behaviors of the person can be detected. Furthermore, by means of the object tracking algorithm, the onboard camera 11 can also be made to track and record images concerning the person's behaviour in order to completely identify the person's overall course of behaviour.
In the sense of the present invention "suspicious behavior" is understood to mean the usual behavior of a thief during a vehicle theft. Illustratively, if the person looks inside the host vehicle and around himself to ensure that he is not found, suspicious behavior of the person may be determined; if the person opens the carried tool and approaches the vehicle, suspicious behavior of the person may be determined.
If there is suspicious activity of the person, a request for authorized authentication is sent to the person in step S3. The person may be requested to enter a verification code for verifying the authorized identity of the vehicle, for example via an external loudspeaker, which is preset by the owner of the vehicle, or may be sent to a legal driver authorized by the owner of the vehicle.
In step S4, an optical and/or acoustic alarm is activated in case the person fails the authorized authentication. For example, the person may be considered to have failed the authorized identity if the person has not entered a correct authentication code within a predetermined period of time and/or has not entered a correct authentication code within a predetermined number of attempts. In particular, in the event that the person has not left the vehicle after the authentication of the authorized identity, an optical and/or acoustic alarm may be activated, for example by sending an acoustic alarm through an external loudspeaker and flashing a warning through a horn, headlight or turn signal, thereby attracting the attention of surrounding persons and urging the person away from the vehicle.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the request for authorizing the authentication is sent to the stranger under the condition that the suspicious behavior of the stranger is identified, so that the damage or theft of a thief can be timely and pre-warned before the vehicle is damaged or stolen, the warning time of the vehicle-mounted anti-theft system is effectively improved, and the vehicle theft of the stranger is prevented in advance.
Fig. 2 shows a flowchart of a method for vehicle burglar alarm according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Only the differences from the embodiment shown in fig. 1 are explained below, and the same steps are not repeated for the sake of brevity.
The method may further comprise step S5. In step S5, the image information about the person acquired by the in-vehicle camera 11 is sent to the back-end platform 2 and/or the user' S mobile terminal 3 for use by the back-end platform and/or the user for alerting. Here, the face information and suspicious behavior information of the person may be uploaded to a back-end platform 2 that establishes a communication connection with the host vehicle, where the back-end platform 2 is, for example, a preset platform that provides a vehicle monitoring service, and the back-end platform 2 alarms to an alarm platform after confirming the received information. The face information of the person may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 3 of the user, and the user may give an alarm after confirming the vehicle theft of the person.
In addition, it should be noted that the sequence numbers of the steps described herein do not necessarily represent a sequential order, but are merely a reference number, and the order may be changed according to circumstances as long as the technical object of the present invention can be achieved.
FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic block diagram of a vehicle burglar alarm system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 3, the vehicle burglar alarm system 1 may include the following components:
an onboard camera 11 configured for acquiring image information about a person approaching the own vehicle and/or opening a door;
-a human-machine interaction module 12 configured for performing an authorized authentication of the person and activating an optical and/or acoustic alarm if the person fails the authorized authentication, wherein the human-machine interaction module 12 comprises for example an external speaker and a language recognition unit, a horn, a headlight and/or a turn signal, etc.; and
a control module 13 configured for performing the method according to the invention.
Optionally, the vehicle burglar alarm system 1 may further comprise an in-vehicle communication module 14 configured for transmitting image information about the person acquired by means of the in-vehicle camera 11 to the back-end platform 2 and/or the user's mobile terminal 3.
Although specific embodiments of the invention have been described in detail herein, they are presented for purposes of illustration only and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. Various alternatives and modifications can be devised without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
