Abstract

A vehicle control method applied to a smart car key includes receiving a connection request sent by a mobile terminal, establishing a communication connection with the mobile terminal in response to the connection request, receiving identity information and authorization request information sent by the mobile terminal, determining whether the identity information is correct, and in response that the identity information is correct, sending pairing information to the mobile terminal in response to the authorization request information and sending the identity information to a vehicle to be controlled. The mobile terminal controls the vehicle through the pairing information and the identity information to perform at least one operation.

Claims (39)

1. A vehicle control method applicable to a smart car key, comprising:

receiving a connection request sent by a mobile terminal;

establishing a communication connection with the mobile terminal in response to the connection request;

receiving identity information and an authorization request sent by the mobile terminal, wherein the authorization request is constituted by authorization information and an input relating time duration corresponding to the authorization information;

determining whether the identity information is correct; and

in response that the identity information is correct, sending pairing information to the mobile terminal in response to the authorization request, sending the identity information to a vehicle to be controlled, and controlling the vehicle through the pairing information and the identity information to perform at least one operation.

2. The vehicle control method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one operation comprises unlocking a door and turning on a power, or the at least one operation comprises turning off the power and locking the door, the smart car key receives the identity information and the authorization request sent by the mobile terminal by:

displaying an identification code for the mobile terminal to scan; and

receiving the identity information and the authorization request sent by the mobile terminal after scanning the identification code.

3. The vehicle control method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether the identity information is correct comprises:

displaying the identity information for a user to determine whether the identity information is correct; and

determining whether the identity information is correct according to an instruction input by the user.

4. The vehicle control method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether the identity information is correct comprises:

determining whether the identity information matches pre-stored target identity information; and

in response that the identity information matches the pre-stored target identity information, determining that the identity information is correct.

5. A vehicle control method applied to a mobile terminal, comprising:

sending a connection request to a smart car key;

receiving pairing information sent by the smart car key after the smart car key establishes a communication connection between the smart car key and the mobile terminal in response to the connection request;

obtaining identity information of the mobile terminal through an identity information input field of an input interface, obtaining authorization information through an authorization input field of the input interface, and obtaining an input relating time duration corresponding to the authorization information through an authorization duration input field of the input interface;

sending the identity information and an authorization request to the smart car key, wherein the authorization request is constituted by the authorization information and the input relating time duration corresponding to the authorization information; and

controlling a vehicle to perform at least one operation according to the pairing information and identity information of the mobile terminal.

6. The vehicle control method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one operation comprises unlocking a door and turning on a power, or the at least one operation comprises turning off the power and locking the door, the mobile terminal controls the vehicle to perform at least one operation according to the pairing information and the identity information of the mobile terminal by:

controlling the vehicle through a Near-Field Communication (NFC) tag to perform the at least one operation according to the pairing information and the identity information of the mobile terminal.

7. A smart car key comprising:

a processor;

and

a memory storing a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

receive a connection request sent by a mobile terminal;

establish a communication connection with the mobile terminal in response to the connection request;

receive identity information and an authorization request sent by the mobile terminal, wherein the authorization request is constituted by authorization information and an input relating time duration corresponding to the authorization information;

determine whether the identity information is correct; and

in response that the identity information is correct, send pairing information to the mobile terminal in response to the authorization request, send the identity information to a vehicle to be controlled, and control the vehicle through the pairing information and the identity information to perform at least one operation.

8. The smart car key of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

display an identification code for the mobile terminal to scan; and

receive the identity information and the authorization request sent by the mobile terminal after the identification code is scanned.

9. The smart car key of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

display the identity information for a user to determine whether the identity information is correct; and

receive an instruction input by the user to determine whether the identity information is correct.

10. The smart car key of claim 7 , wherein the at least one operation comprises unlocking a door and turning on a power, or the at least one operation comprises turning off the power and locking the door.
