Abstract

An electronic device of an accident vehicle obtains position information of vehicles which fall within a predetermined range of the accident vehicle. The electronic device sends accident information of the accident vehicle to the vehicles which joins a temporary group. The electronic device calculates a driving route for each vehicle according to the accident information and releases the temporary group when the accident vehicle has been processed.

Claims (35)

1. An electronic device of an accident vehicle, the electronic device comprising:

at least one processor; and

a storage device that stores one or more programs, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

obtain position information of vehicles within a predetermined range of the accident vehicle, the vehicles connected to the accident vehicle using a wireless network;

establish a temporary group and require the vehicles to join the temporary group;

send accident information of the accident vehicle to the vehicles which join the temporary group;

calculate a driving route for each vehicle according to the accident information;

generate a rescue route for a rescue vehicle to rescue the accident vehicle when the vehicles follow the driving route; and

release the temporary group when the accident vehicle has been processed, wherein the temporary group is released when the accident vehicle is removed from the road or the accident vehicle falls outside the predetermined range.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined range of the accident vehicle is a circle area predetermined by a predetermined radius of the circle area, and a center point of the circle area is a position of the accident vehicle.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the temporary group is administrated by the accident vehicle, and the accident vehicle is capable of sending an invitation to each vehicle which falls within the predetermined range.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein each vehicle which falls within the predetermined range joins the temporary group after the vehicle accepts the invitation.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the accident information of the accident vehicle comprises position information of the accident vehicle, road information where the accident vehicle is, a plate number of the accident vehicle, and a video captured by a car recorder of the accident vehicle.

6. A computer-based method for finding an accident vehicle, the method comprising:

obtaining position information of vehicles within a predetermined range of the accident vehicle, the vehicles connected to the accident vehicle using a wireless network;

establishing a temporary group and requiring the vehicles to join the temporary group;

sending accident information of the accident vehicle to the vehicles which join the temporary group;

calculating a driving route for each vehicle according to the accident information;

generating a rescue route for a rescue vehicle to rescue the accident vehicle when the vehicles follow the driving route; and

releasing the temporary group when the accident vehicle has been processed, wherein the temporary group is released when the accident vehicle is removed from the road or the accident vehicle falls outside the predetermined range.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the predetermined range of the accident vehicle is a circle area predetermined by a predetermined radius of the circle area, and a center point of the circle area is a position of the accident vehicle.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the temporary group is administrated by the accident vehicle, and the accident vehicle is capable of sending an invitation to each vehicle which falls within the predetermined range.

9. The method claim 8 , wherein each vehicle which falls within the predetermined range joins the temporary group after the vehicle accepts the invitation.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the accident information of the accident vehicle comprises position information of the accident vehicle, road information where the accident vehicle is, a plate number of the accident vehicle, and a video captured by a car recorder of the accident vehicle.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device of an accident vehicle, causing the processor to perform a method for finding the accident vehicle, the method comprising:

obtaining position information of vehicles within a predetermined range of the accident vehicle, the vehicles connected to the accident vehicle using a wireless network;

establishing a temporary group and requiring the vehicles to join the temporary group;

sending accident information of the accident vehicle to the vehicles which join the temporary group;

calculating a driving route for each vehicle according to the accident information;

generating a rescue route for a rescue vehicle to rescue the accident vehicle when the vehicles follow the driving route; and

releasing the temporary group when the accident vehicle has been processed, wherein the temporary group is released when the accident vehicle is removed from the road or the accident vehicle falls outside the predetermined range.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined range of the accident vehicle is a circle area predetermined by a predetermined radius of the circle area, and a center point of the circle area is a position of the accident vehicle.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the temporary group is administrated by the accident vehicle, and the accident vehicle is capable of sending an invitation to each vehicle which falls within the predetermined range.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein each vehicle which falls within the predetermined range joins the temporary group after the vehicle accepts the invitation.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the accident information of the accident vehicle comprises position information of the accident vehicle, road information where the accident vehicle is, a plate number of the accident vehicle, and a video captured by a car recorder of the accident vehicle.
