Abstract

The present application discloses a method, system and related device of implementing vehicle automatic payment. The method includes: controlling, by a vehicle controller, a vehicle to drive automatically and stop at a payment position; obtaining, by a payment terminal, vehicle identification information of the vehicle, and determining payment amount corresponding to the vehicle identification information; sending, by the payment terminal, leaving indication information to the vehicle controller after determining that the vehicle controller pays the payment amount; and controlling, by the vehicle controller, the vehicle to start and leave the payment position when receiving the leaving indication information.

Claims (44)

1. A method of implementing vehicle automatic payment, comprising:

controlling, by a vehicle controller of a vehicle, the vehicle to be stopped at a payment position while controlling the vehicle to drive automatically;

obtaining, by a payment terminal, vehicle identification information of the vehicle, and determining payment amount corresponding to the vehicle identification information, wherein the vehicle identification information corresponds to a weight of the vehicle or a driving mileage of the vehicle;

receiving, by the vehicle controller, information of the payment amount from the payment terminal;

paying, by the vehicle controller, the payment amount automatically in response to receiving the information of the payment amount the paying comprising:

controlling, by the vehicle controller, an on-board camera to scan a two-dimensional code corresponding to the payment terminal; and

invoking, by the vehicle controller, a third-party payment software to pay the payment amount;

sending, by the payment terminal, leaving indication information to the vehicle controller in response to determining that the vehicle controller pays the payment amount; and

controlling, by the vehicle controller, the vehicle to start moving in response to receiving the leaving indication information so that the vehicle leaves the payment position.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the payment amount corresponding to the vehicle identification information comprises:

calculating, by the payment terminal, the payment amount corresponding to the vehicle identification information; or

obtaining, by the payment terminal, the payment amount corresponding to the vehicle identification information from a stored charging standard.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining, by the payment terminal, that the vehicle controller pays the payment amount is performed in response to collecting the payment amount paid by the vehicle controller successfully.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein obtaining, by the payment terminal, the vehicle identification information of the vehicle comprises controlling, by the payment terminal, a sensor to scan another two-dimensional code or a bar code on the vehicle to obtain the vehicle identification information of the vehicle.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein obtaining, by the payment terminal, the vehicle identification information of the vehicle comprises:

controlling, by the payment terminal, a sensor to take an image of the vehicle and performing image identification processing on the image to obtain the vehicle identification information of the vehicle.

6. A system for implementing vehicle automatic payment, comprising a vehicle controller of a vehicle and a payment terminal, wherein:

the vehicle controller of the vehicle is configured to:

control the vehicle to be stopped at a payment position while controlling the vehicle to drive automatically, and

control the vehicle to start moving in response to receiving leaving indication information sent by the payment terminal so that the vehicle leaves the payment position; and

the payment terminal is configured to:

obtain vehicle identification information of the vehicle,

determine payment amount corresponding to the vehicle identification information, and

send the leaving indication information to the vehicle controller in response to determining that the vehicle controller pays the payment amount,

wherein the vehicle identification information corresponds to a weight of the vehicle or a driving mileage of the vehicle, and

wherein the vehicle controller is configured to;

receive information of the payment amount from the payment terminal;

pay the payment amount automatically in response to receiving the information of the payment amount by:

controlling an on-board camera to scan a two-dimensional code corresponding to the payment terminal; and

invoking a third-party payment software to pay the payment amount corresponding to the vehicle identification information.

7. The system according to claim 6 , wherein the payment terminal is configured to determine the payment amount corresponding to the vehicle identification information using:

by calculating the payment amount according to the weight of the vehicle or the driving mileage of the vehicle, or

by obtaining the payment amount corresponding to the vehicle identification information from a stored charging standard.

8. The system according to claim 6 , wherein the payment terminal is further configured to keep an account of the payment amount in a bill corresponding to the vehicle identification information, or deduct the payment amount from an account of Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system corresponding to the vehicle identification information after calculating the payment amount.

9. The system according to claim 6 , wherein the payment terminal is configured to obtain the vehicle identification information of the vehicle by controlling a sensor to scan another two-dimensional code or a bar code on the vehicle.

10. The system according to claim 6 , wherein the payment terminal is configured to obtain the vehicle identification information of the vehicle using:

control a sensor to take an image of the vehicle and perform image identification processing on the image.

11. A vehicle controller of a vehicle, comprising: a communication unit configured to receive and send information; and a control unit configured to:

control the vehicle to be stopped at a payment position while automatically driving the vehicle,

receive information of a payment amount from a payment terminal;

pay the payment amount automatically in response to receiving the information of the payment amount; by:

controlling an on-board camera to scan a two-dimensional code corresponding to the payment terminal; and

invoking a third-party payment software, wherein the payment amount corresponds to a weight of the vehicle or a driving mileage of the vehicle, and

control the vehicle to start moving in response to receiving, through the communication unit, leaving indication information from the payment terminal so that the vehicle leaves the payment position.
