Abstract

This application discloses a vehicle and an emergency call method, apparatus, and system thereof, and relates to the field of vehicle technologies. When determining that a vehicle has an emergency rescue requirement, an in-vehicle communication component in the system may send an assistance call request to a mobile terminal through wireless communication, and the mobile terminal may further send an emergency call request to a rescue platform based on the assistance call request. Therefore, even if a mobile communication function of the in-vehicle communication component is damaged or a hard line between the in-vehicle communication component and another component is disconnected, the in-vehicle communication component can indicate the mobile terminal to assist in sending the emergency call request. This effectively improves reliability of the emergency call system.

6 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the mobile terminal is further configured to send performance information of the mobile terminal to the in-vehicle communication component through wireless communication; and

the in-vehicle communication component is further configured to:

in response to determining, based on the performance information of the mobile terminal, that the mobile terminal does not meet a second call condition, send the emergency call request to the rescue platform.

7 . The system according to claim 6 , wherein the second call condition comprises: a communication status of the mobile terminal meets a communication condition, and/or a remaining battery level of the mobile terminal is greater than a battery level threshold.

8 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the in-vehicle communication component is further configured to send rescue information to the mobile terminal through wireless communication;

the mobile terminal is further configured to send the rescue information to the in-vehicle communication component through wireless communication; and

a target component in the mobile terminal and the in-vehicle communication component is further configured to send the obtained rescue information to the rescue platform, wherein

the target component sends the emergency call request to the rescue platform, and the rescue information comprises at least one of: location information of the vehicle, the fault information of the vehicle, an identifier of the rescue platform, or vehicle information of the vehicle.

9 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the system further comprises: a cockpit domain controller connected to the fault detection component; and

the cockpit domain controller is configured to:

in response to determining, based on the detection information, that the vehicle has the emergency rescue requirement, send the assistance call request to the mobile terminal through wireless communication.

10 . The system according to claim 9 , wherein the cockpit domain controller is further configured to send the fault information of the vehicle to the mobile terminal through wireless communication.

11 . An emergency call method, comprising:

receiving, by an in-vehicle communication component in an emergency call system, detection information sent by a fault detection component of the emergency call system, wherein the detection information comprises at least one of fault information of a vehicle or a rescue request;

determining a communication quality of the in-vehicle communication component based on performance information of the in-vehicle communication component including comparing a communication quality of a mobile terminal and the communication quality of the in-vehicle communication component; and
