DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clearly understood, the present disclosure is further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure should be understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present disclosure belongs.

The terms used in this disclosure are explained as follows:

HUT: In-vehicle entertainment information system (HUT), an intelligent multimedia device integrated into the car's center console.

TBOX: On-board communication equipment.

NAD+ communication module: responsible for Internet of Vehicles services and cellular call functions, equipped with a cellular card.

With the rapid development of vehicle technology, vehicles have become an important means of transportation in people's daily lives. Currently, vehicles can be used to achieve wireless interaction with other users through communication networks, such as in-vehicle voice calls.

Limited by the signal conditions of the communication network, such as when the vehicle is in a network environment with poor signal, it is often impossible to successfully communicate with other users due to poor network signal. At the same time, if the vehicle is in an area with poor network signal, it is easy for people on the vehicle to lose contact and be unable to get in touch with the outside world, causing unnecessary losses.

At the same time, currently, satellite communication can only be achieved through the vehicle computer and the outside world. If the vehicle computer is damaged, the vehicle computer cannot communicate with the on-board communication equipment through satellite, resulting in loss of contact between the vehicle and the personnel. In addition, the current satellite communication method is relatively simple, usually satellite calls, which is not very friendly to some drivers who have difficulty in communication.

Based on the above description, this embodiment proposes a satellite communication method, as shown in FIG1 , which is applied to a terminal. The method includes:

Step 101, in response to receiving a satellite communication instruction, determining a communication type and a target communication object corresponding to the satellite communication instruction.

In specific implementation, when the terminal receives a satellite communication instruction, it indicates that the user wants to communicate with other users by satellite, and determines the communication type and target communication object corresponding to the satellite communication instruction. In this embodiment, the terminal can be a vehicle terminal or a mobile terminal, the vehicle terminal is the HUT, and the mobile terminal is a computer device that can be used on the move, such as a mobile phone, a laptop, a tablet computer, a watch, a bracelet, etc.

The satellite communication instruction is generated in at least one of the following ways: voice input, physical key input, virtual key input, etc.

This embodiment can be applied to a variety of scenarios, and specific examples are as follows:

Scenario 1: When a user is driving a vehicle, he can say "I want to talk to User A" in the car. At this time, the voice message can be used as a satellite communication command. The car computer receives the user's voice message, indicating that the user wants to communicate by satellite, and determines the communication type and target communication object corresponding to the satellite communication command.

Scenario 2: When the user is in the vehicle, the user selects to make a satellite call through the virtual button in the vehicle. At this time, the information input by the user can be used as the item acquisition instruction. The vehicle receives the information input by the user and determines the communication type and target communication object corresponding to the satellite communication instruction. The location of the virtual button in the vehicle includes at least one of the following: door, window, central control screen, co-pilot screen, rear screen, etc.

Scenario three: The user carries a mobile terminal. When the user clicks the virtual icon corresponding to satellite communication on the mobile terminal, the trigger information can be used as a satellite communication instruction. The mobile terminal receives the trigger information, indicating that the user wants to conduct satellite communication, and determines the communication type and target communication object corresponding to the satellite communication instruction.

Scenario 4: The user carries a mobile terminal. When the mobile terminal receives the user's voice message "send a text message to user A", the voice message can be used as a satellite communication instruction. The mobile terminal receives the user's voice message, indicating that the user wants to conduct satellite communication, and determines the communication type and target communication object corresponding to the satellite communication instruction. The mobile terminal includes at least one of the following: a bracelet, a watch, a mobile phone, a laptop computer, and a tablet computer.

That is, in this embodiment, the terminal can be not only a vehicle computer terminal but also a mobile terminal, so that when the vehicle computer is damaged and cannot be connected to the vehicle communication system, it can also be connected to the vehicle communication system through a mobile phone, thereby realizing satellite communication with the target communication object, avoiding the problem of loss of contact with people in the vehicle as much as possible, and improving safety.

Step 102, sending a satellite communication request including the communication type and the target communication object to the vehicle-mounted communication device, so that after the vehicle-mounted communication device receives the satellite communication request, it establishes a communication connection between the terminal and the satellite, and based on the communication connection, the terminal and the target communication object perform satellite communication corresponding to the communication type.

During specific implementation, after receiving the satellite communication instruction, the terminal sends a satellite communication request including the communication type and the target communication object to the vehicle-mounted communication device. The communication type includes unilateral communication, bilateral interaction or multi-party interaction. The unilateral communication means that the terminal unilaterally sends the communication information to the target communication object, the bilateral interaction means real-time interaction between the terminal and the target communication object, and the multi-party interaction means real-time interaction between the terminal, the target communication object and other objects.

After receiving the satellite communication request, the vehicle-mounted communication terminal establishes a communication connection between the terminal and the satellite through the vehicle-mounted communication device. Based on the communication connection, the vehicle-mounted communication device and the satellite enable the terminal to perform satellite communication corresponding to the communication type with the target communication object.

In this embodiment, the one-way communication may be a text message, and the multi-party interaction or the two-party interaction may be a call, which may specifically include a voice call or a video call.

Step 103, receiving and displaying the satellite communication result sent by the vehicle-mounted communication device.

In a specific implementation, the terminal receives the satellite communication result sent by the vehicle-mounted communication terminal, wherein the satellite communication result can indicate whether the terminal successfully establishes a communication connection with the target communication object, and can also indicate whether the communication information sent by the terminal successfully reaches the target communication object.

At the same time, if the communication type is two-way interaction or multi-party interaction, such as a call, the terminal successfully establishes a communication connection with the target communication object, and the satellite communication result may also include call information such as call time and call status.

Through the above scheme, when a satellite communication instruction is received, the communication type and target communication object corresponding to the satellite communication instruction are determined, and the target communication object is the object that the user wants to communicate with. A satellite communication request containing the communication type and the target communication object is sent to the vehicle-mounted communication device. After the vehicle-mounted communication device receives the satellite communication request, a communication connection between the terminal and the satellite is established. The terminal can realize satellite communication with the target communication object through the vehicle-mounted communication device and the satellite based on the communication connection. At the same time, the communication type of the satellite communication is the communication type corresponding to the satellite communication instruction. The corresponding type of communication can be carried out according to the user's own needs, and the communication type is more diversified. The terminal receives and displays the satellite communication results sent by the vehicle-mounted communication device. Since satellite communication does not need to rely on the communication network for communication, by establishing satellite communication with the target communication object, there is no need to consider the network conditions of the communication network. Whether in an environment with a strong communication network signal or no communication network, the communication between the terminal and the target communication object can be realized, avoiding the situation where communication failures due to poor network quality are caused, improving the success rate, and meeting the needs of users. At the same time, the present application can not only realize satellite communication with the outside world through the vehicle computer, but also realize satellite communication with the outside world through the mobile phone, so that satellite communication can still be carried out when the vehicle computer is damaged, avoiding the problem of loss of contact with people in the vehicle.

In this embodiment, if the mobile terminal and the vehicle-mounted terminal trigger satellite communication at the same time, such as the mobile terminal is conducting satellite communication, the vehicle-mounted terminal initiates a new satellite communication request. At this time, the vehicle-mounted communication device sends the call status to the vehicle-mounted terminal for display. At this time, the user conducts satellite communication through the vehicle-mounted terminal, the vehicle-mounted communication device ends the current satellite communication, and triggers a new satellite communication.

When the terminal implements satellite communication, it is first necessary to ensure that a communication connection is established between the terminal and the vehicle-mounted communication device before the terminal can send a satellite communication request to the vehicle-mounted communication device. Therefore, in some embodiments, before step 102, the following is also included:

Step 1021, in response to the terminal being a vehicle terminal, sending an Ethernet connection request to the vehicle communication device at preset time intervals until an Ethernet connection is established with the vehicle wireless terminal.

In specific implementation, if the terminal is a vehicle terminal, an Ethernet connection request is sent to the vehicle communication device at a preset time interval to request to establish a communication connection with the vehicle communication device. In this embodiment, the communication connection is an Ethernet-based communication connection.

Repeatedly send Ethernet connection requests until an Ethernet connection is established with the vehicle-mounted communication device, and stop sending communication connection requests. After the Ethernet connection is established with the vehicle-mounted communication device, the signal strength of the satellite communication can also be displayed.

At the same time, after sending the Ethernet connection request, it can also include:

In response to failure to establish a communication connection with the vehicle-mounted communication device after a preset period of time, a prompt message is generated and displayed, wherein the prompt message is information for prompting a timeout in the connection with the vehicle-mounted communication device.

Specifically, the timing starts from the first sending of the Ethernet connection request. If the communication connection is not successfully established after a preset period of time, it means that the connection with the vehicle-mounted communication device has timed out, and a prompt message is generated and displayed.

The prompting method of the prompting information includes at least one of the following: text prompting, voice prompting, prompting light display, etc. The content form of the prompting information includes at least one of the following: text, picture, rich text, etc.

For example, the preset duration is 900s, the content of the prompt information is in the form of text, and the preset time interval is 1s. The vehicle computer sends an Ethernet connection request to the vehicle communication device every 1s. If a communication connection is not established with the vehicle communication device within 900s, a prompt message of "Connection timeout" is displayed on the vehicle computer display interface.

Through the above scheme, when implementing this scheme, it is necessary to ensure that the vehicle-mounted computer and the vehicle-mounted communication device maintain a communication connection state. Therefore, when the vehicle-mounted computer receives the satellite communication command, it sends an Ethernet connection request to the vehicle-mounted communication device to achieve communication connection. If the communication connection has not been successfully established, a prompt message is output to inform the user that the communication connection cannot be established with the vehicle-mounted communication device, so that the user can be informed of the abnormal situation in time and handle it in time afterwards.

or,

Step 1022: In response to the terminal being a mobile terminal, establishing a wireless communication connection with the vehicle-mounted communication device.

In a specific implementation, if the terminal is a mobile terminal, a wireless communication connection is established with the vehicle-mounted communication device, wherein the wireless communication connection includes Bluetooth, WIFI, etc.

At the same time, in this embodiment, if the mobile terminal is connected to the vehicle-mounted communication device for the first time, the user needs to be asked whether he agrees to connect, and the user is requested to apply for application permissions, which include at least one of the following: positioning, recording, calling, etc. If the user agrees to connect, the connection is established with the vehicle-mounted communication device.

If this is not the first time that the terminal is connected to the vehicle-mounted communication device, the terminal can automatically pair and connect with the vehicle-mounted communication device after the mobile terminal starts the wireless communication connection.

Exemplarily, the mobile terminal is a mobile phone, and the specific process is:

When the Bluetooth functions of TBOX and mobile phone are both turned on and in searchable state. Search for nearby Bluetooth devices in the Bluetooth settings of the mobile phone and find the Bluetooth device name of TBOX. Click the Bluetooth device name of TBOX to pair, and enter the pairing code as prompted to connect. When the mobile phone successfully connects to TBOX, the Bluetooth connection status will be displayed as "Connected" or "Paired".

In this embodiment, the Bluetooth device allows the user to set its visibility. Once the TBOX is successfully paired with the mobile phone, the TBOX automatically changes the Bluetooth setting to "invisible" or "non-detectable" mode. Other unpaired devices will not be able to search for the Bluetooth signal of the TBOX. When the mobile phone disconnects the Bluetooth connection with the TBOX, the TBOX automatically changes the Bluetooth setting to "visible" or "detectable" mode.

Through the above scheme, in addition to being able to connect to the on-board communication equipment through the vehicle-mounted communication device, the mobile terminal can also communicate with the on-board communication equipment through a wireless connection, so that the mobile terminal can also establish a communication connection with the satellite based on the on-board communication equipment to achieve satellite communication with the target communication object.

The communication type may be selected by the user after sending the satellite communication instruction. Therefore, in some embodiments, step 101 specifically includes:

Step 1011, in response to receiving a satellite communication instruction, displaying a satellite communication interface, wherein the satellite communication interface includes a unilateral communication module or a bilateral interaction module.

Step 1012: in response to receiving a first trigger instruction of the unilateral communication module, determining that the communication type is unilateral communication and the first target communication object.

or,

Step 1013: in response to receiving a second trigger instruction of the bilateral interaction module, determining that the communication type is bilateral interaction and a second target communication object.

In specific implementation, after receiving the satellite communication command, the satellite communication interface is displayed to the user, and the satellite communication interface includes a unilateral communication module or a bilateral interaction module. In this embodiment, the satellite communication interface can be displayed on the screen of the vehicle terminal or on the display interface of the user's mobile terminal. The screen of the vehicle terminal includes at least one of the following: a central control screen, a co-pilot screen, a ceiling screen, a seat back screen, etc.

When a first trigger instruction of the unilateral communication module is received, such as clicking the unilateral communication module, a first target communication object is determined, which means that the user wants to perform unilateral communication with the first target communication object. In this embodiment, the unilateral communication is a text message.

When a second trigger instruction of the two-way interaction module is received, such as clicking the two-way interaction module, a second target communication object is determined, which means that the user wants to conduct a two-way interaction with the second target communication object. In this embodiment, the two-way interaction is a call.

When the user chooses to conduct one-way communication, the user can select the target communication object and edit the communication content corresponding to the one-way communication. Therefore, in some embodiments, step 1012 specifically includes:

Step 10121: output first editing prompt information, wherein the first editing prompt information is used to prompt input of a first communication object and communication content.

Step 10122: Receive feedback information corresponding to the first editing prompt information, identify the first communication object and communication content contained in the feedback information, and use the first communication object as the first target communication object.

In a specific implementation, after the user clicks on the unilateral communication module, first editing prompt information is displayed on the satellite communication interface, and the first editing prompt information is used to prompt the user to input the first communication object and communication content.

Case 1: If displayed on the vehicle side, the prompting method of the first editing prompt information includes at least one of the following: voice broadcast, HUD display, instrument display, central control screen display, window display and linkage of in-vehicle equipment, etc.

The HUD display is a head-up display. For example, the prompt method of the first editing prompt information is HUD display, and the first editing prompt information will be projected in front of the user.

The input method of the feedback information includes at least one of the following: voice input, virtual key input or physical key input.

For example, the content of the first editing prompt information is in the form of text, and the prompt mode is displayed on the central control screen, then the central control screen displays "please enter the text description of the first communication object and the communication content". At the same time, a virtual button can also be displayed on the central control screen, and the user can enter feedback information by clicking the virtual button.

Feedback information input by the user is received, and the feedback information is identified to obtain the first communication object and communication content, and the first communication object is used as the first target communication object.

Exemplarily, the feedback information is "the sending object is user A, and the information content is XXXX", then user A is the first target communication object.

Case 2: If displayed in an APP of a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal includes at least one of the following: a mobile phone, a watch, a bracelet, a laptop or a tablet computer. The prompt method of the first editing prompt information includes at least one of the following: voice broadcast or pop-up window display. The input method of the feedback information includes at least one of the following: voice input, virtual key input or physical key input.

Exemplarily, the mobile terminal is a mobile phone, the content of the first editing prompt information is in the form of text, and the prompt method is a pop-up window display, then a pop-up window is displayed on the user's mobile phone, and the pop-up window contains a text description of the first communication object and the communication content, and at the same time, the user enters feedback information in the form of speech.

In actual scenarios, the user may forget to input relevant information of the target communication object, that is, the target communication object cannot be identified. In order to ensure normal communication, in some embodiments, after identifying the first communication object and communication content included in the feedback information in step 10122, the following is further included:

Step A: in response to the first communication partner not existing in the feedback information, searching for an emergency contact pre-stored in a database.

Step B: taking the emergency contact as the first target communication object.

In specific implementation, after the feedback information is identified, it is determined whether the feedback information contains the first communication object. If the first communication object does not exist, the emergency contact pre-stored in the database is searched, and the emergency contact is used as the first target communication object.

In this embodiment, the satellite communication interface may further include a contact module, in which emergency contacts may be set, and initial setting and subsequent modification of emergency contacts may be realized. Meanwhile, if the terminal is a mobile terminal, the contact module may also read a contact list in the mobile terminal.

Through the above solution, when the user does not input the recipient of the short message, that is, the first communication object does not exist in the feedback information, the communication content is sent to the emergency contact by default.

In some embodiments, the two-party interaction module includes an emergency rescue module or a dialing module, and step 1013 specifically includes:

Step 10131, in response to receiving the second trigger instruction of the emergency rescue module, searching for an emergency contact pre-stored in the database, and taking the emergency contact as the second target communication object.

or,

Step 10132: in response to receiving the third trigger instruction of the dialing module, output second editing prompt information, wherein the second editing prompt information is used to prompt input of a second communication object, and use the second communication object as a second target communication object.

In specific implementation, the satellite communication interface may also include an emergency rescue module (SOS module) or a dialing module. If a second trigger instruction of the emergency rescue module is received, such as clicking on the emergency rescue module, it means that the user wants to talk directly to the object corresponding to the emergency rescue module, that is, the second target communication object is the object corresponding to the emergency rescue module. The object corresponding to the emergency rescue module may be an emergency rescue platform or an emergency contact set by the user.

If a third trigger instruction of the dialing module is received, such as clicking the dialing module, second editing prompt information is displayed, and the second editing prompt information is used to prompt the input of a second communication object, and the second communication object is used as a second target communication object.

Case 1: If displayed on the vehicle side, the prompting method of the second editing prompt information includes at least one of the following: voice broadcast, HUD display, instrument display, central control screen display, window display and linkage of in-vehicle equipment, etc.

The HUD display is a head-up display. For example, the second editing prompt information is displayed in a HUD display, and the second editing prompt information is projected in front of the user. The input method of the feedback information includes at least one of the following: voice input, virtual key input or physical key input.

Case 2: If displayed in an APP of a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal includes at least one of the following: a mobile phone, a watch, a bracelet, a laptop or a tablet computer. The prompt method of the second editing prompt information includes at least one of the following: voice broadcast or pop-up window display. The input method of the feedback information includes at least one of the following: voice input, virtual key input or physical key input.

Through the above scheme, an emergency rescue module and a dialing module can be set in the satellite communication interface, so that users can quickly call emergency contacts and talk to users they want to talk to, which can better meet the needs of different users.

In order to enable the target communication object to obtain the specific location of the person in the vehicle, so as to ensure that the target communication object can quickly find the person in the vehicle and quickly carry out rescue in an emergency, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

Step 10A, sending communication information and current location information to the vehicle-mounted communication device, so that the vehicle-mounted communication device receives the current location information and the communication information, and sends the current location information and the communication information to the target communication object.

In specific implementation, after the terminal establishes a communication connection with the vehicle-mounted communication device, the terminal sends communication information and current location information to the vehicle-mounted communication device. The vehicle-mounted communication device receives the current location information and the communication information, and sends the current location information and the communication information to the target communication object.

In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted communication device is connected to the terminal, and the vehicle-mounted communication device can normally obtain positioning data, that is, current location information. The vehicle-mounted communication device sends the current location information to the terminal and displays it on the satellite communication interface of the terminal.

In some embodiments, the communication type is unilateral communication, and step 10A specifically includes:

Step 10A1, determining whether the communication information includes current location information.

Step 10A2: In response to the communication information not including the current location information, outputting location prompt information, wherein the location prompt information is used to prompt whether the current location needs to be sent.

Step 10A3, determining that feedback information indicating that the current position needs to be sent is received, obtaining the current position, inserting the current position into the communication information, and sending the communication information including the current position information to the vehicle-mounted communication device.

In specific implementation, when the communication type is unilateral communication, it is determined whether the communication information corresponding to the user's unilateral communication contains the current location information. If the communication information does not contain the current location information, the location prompt information is output, and the location prompt information is used to prompt whether the current location needs to be sent.

Case 1: If displayed on the vehicle side, the prompting method of the location prompt information includes at least one of the following: voice broadcast, HUD display, instrument display, central control screen display, window display and linkage of in-vehicle equipment, etc.

The HUD display is a head-up display. For example, the prompting method of the location prompt information is the HUD display, and the location prompt information will be projected in front of the user's eyes.

The input method of the feedback information includes at least one of the following: voice input, virtual key input or physical key input.

For example, the content of the location prompt information is in the form of text, and the prompt method is displayed on the central control screen, and the central control screen displays "whether to send the current location at the same time". At the same time, a virtual button can also be displayed on the central control screen, and the user can enter feedback information by clicking the virtual button.

Receiving feedback information input by the user that the current location needs to be sent means that the user needs to send the current location at the same time. At this time, the current location is obtained, the current location is inserted into the communication information, and the communication information containing the current location information is sent to the vehicle-mounted communication device.

Case 2: If displayed in an APP of a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal includes at least one of the following: a mobile phone, a watch, a bracelet, a laptop or a tablet computer. The prompting method of the location prompt information includes at least one of the following: voice broadcast or pop-up window display. The input method of the feedback information includes at least one of the following: voice input, virtual key input or physical key input.

Exemplarily, the mobile terminal is a mobile phone, the content of the location prompt information is in the form of text, and the prompt method is a pop-up window display. Then a pop-up window is displayed on the user's mobile phone, and the pop-up window includes "whether to send the current location at the same time". At the same time, the user inputs feedback information in the form of speech.

Receiving feedback information input by the user that the current location needs to be sent means that the user needs to send the current location at the same time. At this time, the current location is obtained, the current location is inserted into the communication information, and the communication information containing the current location information is sent to the vehicle-mounted communication device.

Through the above scheme, when the user communicates with the target communication object unilaterally, such as text messages, it is determined whether the current location is included in the text message content. If not, the user can be reminded whether the current location needs to be sent to the target communication object, so that if the vehicle is in a critical situation at this time and the user wants the target communication object to rescue, the current location is provided to the target communication object to achieve accurate rescue.

Based on the same inventive concept, another embodiment of the present disclosure provides a satellite communication method, as shown in FIG2 , which is applied to a vehicle-mounted communication device, and the method includes:

Step 201: receiving a satellite communication request including the communication type and the target communication object sent by a terminal, and establishing a communication connection between the terminal and a satellite.

Step 202: Based on the communication connection, the terminal and the target communication object are connected by satellite using satellite to perform satellite communication corresponding to the communication type.

Step 203: Generate a satellite communication result, and send the satellite communication result to the terminal.

In specific implementation, after the vehicle-mounted communication device receives the satellite communication request including the communication type and the target communication object sent by the terminal, the vehicle-mounted communication device searches for satellites, stays on the network, etc., and establishes a communication connection between the terminal and the satellite.

Based on the communication connection, the terminal and the target communication object are connected by satellite to perform satellite communication corresponding to the communication type, and a satellite communication result is generated and sent to the terminal.

Specifically, if the communication connection between the terminal and the satellite is successfully achieved, a satellite communication result of successful connection is generated. At the same time, if the communication type is two-way interaction, information such as communication time and communication status can also be sent to the terminal and displayed on the terminal.

In this embodiment, if the vehicle-mounted communication device fails in any step such as searching for satellites or logging on to the network, a retry operation is required, and the maximum number of retries is set to a preset number, such as three. If the preset number of retries fails, the failure result is fed back to the terminal and displayed on the terminal.

Through the above scheme, the vehicle-mounted communication device receives the satellite communication request, establishes a communication connection between the terminal and the satellite, and based on the communication connection, the vehicle-mounted communication device and the satellite realize the satellite communication corresponding to the communication type between the terminal and the target communication object. By establishing satellite communication with the target communication object, there is no need to consider the network conditions of the communication network, avoiding the situation where communication failures due to poor network quality occur, improving the success rate, and meeting the needs of users.

In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted communication device includes a satellite module, and the satellite module interacts with the satellite to realize satellite search and network stationing of the vehicle-mounted communication device. The satellite module includes three states: working state, sleeping state, and shutdown state (OFF state). The working state indicates that the vehicle-mounted communication device is successfully stationed on the network, and the satellite module is in an idle/voice/SMS state. The sleeping state indicates that the vehicle-mounted communication device is successfully stationed on the network, can accept voice/SMS services, and is in a low power consumption mode. The shutdown state (OFF state) indicates that the satellite module is not working and is disconnected from the power supply of the vehicle-mounted communication device.

The state switching of the specific satellite module is shown in Figure 3, where 1 represents switching from working state to sleeping state, specifically, there is no business currently in progress and no satellite communication is triggered within 60 minutes. 2 represents switching from sleeping state to working state, specifically, receiving a wake-up source, and the wake-up source in this embodiment is receiving a satellite communication request sent by the terminal. 3 represents switching from OFF state to working state, specifically, the power is turned on and a wake-up source is received. 4 represents switching from working state to OFF state, specifically, the TBOX is disconnected from the vehicle power supply and the backup battery is exhausted. 5 represents switching from sleeping state to OFF state, specifically, the vehicle power supply is disconnected and the backup battery is exhausted. 6 represents switching from OFF state to sleeping state, specifically, the vehicle power supply is turned on and there is no wake-up source.

In this embodiment, when there is no satellite service, the satellite communication module is in a dormant state, and when the satellite communication function is used, the satellite communication module is in a working state.

Because the call to the rescue center is automatically triggered when the vehicle is in danger and the user cannot interrupt it by himself, in order to further ensure the smooth progress of the call to the rescue center, in some embodiments, before step 202, the following is also included:

Step 20A, in response to the communication type being a two-way interaction with the target communication object, determining whether there is a rescue center call;

Step 20B: If there is a call with the rescue center, the interaction with the target communication object is stopped, and a communication suspension prompt message is sent to the terminal, wherein the communication suspension prompt message is used to prompt that the satellite communication is abnormal.

In specific implementation, when the communication type is a two-way interaction with the target communication object, such as a conversation with the target communication object, it is determined whether there is a rescue center call. In this embodiment, the rescue center call is ECALL, which is automatically triggered when the vehicle is in danger and cannot be interrupted by the user.

If there is a call with the rescue center, the terminal stops talking to the target communication object, that is, the call priority of ECALL is higher than the priority of satellite call. A communication suspension prompt message is sent to the terminal, wherein the communication suspension prompt message is used to prompt that the satellite communication is abnormal and the call with the rescue center is in progress.

Through the above solution, since the rescue center call is automatically triggered when the vehicle is in danger and the user cannot interrupt it by himself, the priority of the rescue center call is set higher than the priority of the user's satellite call, which ensures the normal progress of the rescue center call and avoids the interruption of the rescue center call caused by the user's own satellite call, thus protecting the vehicle from timely rescue to a greater extent.

In this embodiment, when the vehicle-mounted communication device calls the target communication object, if the call fails due to its own problems (such as satellite network problems), it will automatically re-dial, and the number of retries is a preset number, such as two times.

Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present disclosure further discloses an interactive process of satellite communication, involving a terminal, a vehicle-mounted communication device (TBOX) and a satellite, and the interactive process specifically includes:

When the terminal is a HUT, the interaction process is as follows:

The satellite module in TBOX is in working state, and HUT is in the satellite communication interface. When HUT subscribes to the service successfully, that is, HUT initiates a request for satellite status query to TBOX, TBOX will send the satellite status to HUT in a period of 1s. The status of the reply received by HUT from TBOX includes at least one of the following: when searching for satellites or staying on the network, it will display connected; when working, it will display connected; if not received/Ethernet disconnected/not connected, it will display disconnected.

The HUT is connected to TBOX through Ethernet and is in the satellite application interface. After the HUT subscribes to the service successfully, it sends a request to TBOX to query the satellite signal strength. TBOX will also send the satellite status to HUT at a period of 1s. As shown in the interface: the signal strength is XXXdbm (no signal is displayed when HUT is not connected).

TBOX and HUT Ethernet are connected normally, and TBOX can obtain positioning data normally. HUT will obtain positioning information from TBOX through Ethernet service and display it on the satellite communication application interface.

Case 1: Satellite call:

The specific process of conducting a satellite call is shown in FIG4 , which is as follows:

The user sets the emergency contact through "Contact" in the HUT satellite communication interface, clicks Save, and HUT transmits the number to TBOX. TBOX needs to desensitize and encrypt the number before saving it.

When the user clicks SOS on the HUT satellite communication interface or inputs a number to trigger a satellite call, TBOX detects the satellite communication from the HUT and triggers the call. If the call fails, it will be redialed and retried up to twice. The satellite communication triggered by the HUT transmits audio data via Ethernet. TBOX does not send mute or unmute commands to the HUT. The HUT decides when to mute.

When the HUT issues a hang-up command, the satellite call ends.

Retry mechanism: The satellite communication module starts searching for satellites, logging on to the network, dialing, etc. If any step fails, it needs to be retried. A maximum of three retries are allowed. If all of them fail, the failure result will be fed back to the HUT.

The multimedia interface displays call time/call status/dial/connect/hang up/status/CALL type. The multimedia interface displays the call time of the phone and updates it every second. The CALL type includes ICALL, ECALL or BCALL. E-Call is for emergency situations. Users can press this button to connect to the call center with the highest priority. The manual agent will simultaneously obtain important data of the customer's vehicle and assist the driver out of danger. B-Call is a one-click telephone rescue that sends the rescue model to the background. It is mainly road rescue. Press this button to send a "road rescue" signal to the car network to obtain a series of help such as a tow truck. I-Call is for traveling to an unfamiliar road. Press this button to connect to the manual agent of the call center for destination query and navigation.

After HUT triggers satellite communication, TBOX determines whether there is ICALL, ECALL or BCALL. If there is, it returns ActionNotAllowed response, indicating that satellite communication is abnormal, and the abnormal reason is the existence of ICALL, ECALL or BCALL.

If there is no ICALL, ECALL or BCALL, TBOX will make a call, power the mic, and open the audio path. TBOX returns the ActionAllowed response, indicating that the satellite call is connected normally. While waiting for the satellite call to be connected, the satellite CALL rings and the status is fed back to the HUT. The specific sending frequency is 3 times after an interval of 200ms, with a period of 2s or when the status changes. When the satellite call is connected, TBOX feedbacks CALL accepted. The specific sending frequency is 3 times after an interval of 200ms, with a period of 2s or when the status changes.

If the call fails or the terminal is abnormal, the information fed back by TBOX to HUT is the current CALL status information, and the sending frequency is 3 times with an interval of 200ms.

When the HUT initiates a hang-up, it sends a hang-up request (TBOX CALL Operation=TERMINATED). After receiving the hang-up request, the TBOX ends the call, the satellite ends the call, and sends the current CALL information as TERMINATED, with a sending frequency of 3 times at an interval of 200ms.

In this embodiment, the call priority of ECALL is greater than that of satellite call, wherein the satellite call is a satellite call initiated by the user by sending a satellite communication request.

If the mobile terminal has triggered satellite communication, TBOX sends the call status to HUT for display. At this time, the user dials satellite communication through HUT, TBOX hangs up the current satellite communication and triggers a new satellite communication.

Case 2: Satellite SMS:

The user clicks the SMS button on the HUT satellite communication interface to enter the SMS editing interface, edits the satellite SMS and recipient number, and clicks send, which is sent to the emergency contact by default.

Specifically, the user edits the satellite SMS through the HUT interface and transmits the SMS content to TBOX through Ethernet. After receiving the SMS, TBOX returns the SMS sending result (success/failure) to HUT. HUT displays the sending result. When the user enters the SMS editing interface, HUT prompts the user whether to carry the current positioning information when sending the satellite SMS. If the user clicks yes, the current location information is filled into the SMS body and the SMS continues to be edited; if the user chooses no, the SMS continues to be edited.

When the satellite module receives a text message, TBOX transmits the information to the HUT via Ethernet for display.

When the terminal is a mobile terminal, the interaction process is specifically as follows:

After TBOX completes the Bluetooth connection with the mobile terminal and successfully searches for satellites, the user can click the one-click rescue button to dial the bound fixed number directly to the emergency rescue data center platform and connect the rescue information with the platform. You can also dial any customized phone number, or call the contact information stored in the phone to call any organization or individual.

Users can customize any phone number, call up the contact information stored in the phone, and send text messages to any organization or individual to contact them.

FIG5 is a schematic diagram of a satellite communication interface of a mobile terminal in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG5 , the satellite communication interface displays whether the vehicle-mounted communication device is successfully connected to the mobile phone Bluetooth, and whether the vehicle-mounted communication device has successfully connected to the Tiantong satellite. Specifically:

If the in-vehicle communication device is successfully connected to the mobile phone via Bluetooth, it will be displayed as connected in green. If the in-vehicle communication device fails to connect to the mobile phone via Bluetooth, it will be displayed as not connected in gray. It can also display the current location, i.e. the latitude and longitude information. When the in-vehicle communication device is not connected, the icon is displayed in gray; when the in-vehicle communication device is connected, it is displayed in green. Click the icon to enter the list of connectable in-vehicle communication devices.

If the vehicle-mounted communication device is successfully connected to the Tiantong satellite, it will be displayed as connected in green. If the vehicle-mounted communication device fails to connect to the Tiantong satellite, it will be displayed as not connected in gray. The signal strength of the Tiantong satellite can also be displayed. When the satellite is not connected, the Tiantong satellite icon is displayed in gray; it is displayed in green after connecting to the satellite. After the terminal is connected, the satellite search will be automatically performed. Click the icon to connect and disconnect the satellite.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal is connected to the TBOX via wireless, such as Bluetooth or WIFI. The TBOX is searched and paired with it via Bluetooth. After the first pairing, the pairing connection can be automatically realized by turning on the mobile phone Bluetooth.

The satellite communication interface also includes an SOS module. Clicking the SOS module will dial the emergency number to the emergency rescue platform. If there is no satellite signal or the satellite is not connected, the call cannot be made.

The satellite communication interface also includes a telephone module. After connecting to the satellite, click the telephone module to enter the dialing interface, and enter the number to make a satellite call.

The satellite communication interface also includes a text message module. After connecting to the satellite, click the text message module to enter the text message editing interface.

The satellite communication interface also includes a contact module. Click the contact module to read the contact list in the mobile phone. Select a contact to quickly make a call or send a text message.

The satellite communication interface also includes a setting module. Click the setting module to enter the setting page. The setting module also includes a restart device module. Click the restart device module to disconnect and restart the connected vehicle communication device.

The following is a specific description using the mobile terminal as a mobile phone, and the specific process is shown in Figure 6:

After the user turns on Bluetooth on the phone and opens the satellite communication app, the phone determines whether it is the first time to connect to TBOX. If it is the first time, the privacy policy will be displayed. After the user reads and agrees to the privacy policy, the phone will ask the user for positioning and recording permissions. The user allows positioning and recording permissions and clicks the connection module to view all connectable devices. If it is not the first time to connect, you can directly click the connection module to view all connectable devices.

The user clicks on the device name to pair with Bluetooth and enters the pairing code to connect. Determine whether the mobile phone and TBOX are successfully connected. If the mobile phone and TBOX are successfully connected, it means they are connected, the display color is green, and the latitude and longitude information is displayed and satellite search is automatically performed. If the mobile phone and TBOX fail to connect, return to pair and connect again.

After the mobile phone is successfully connected to the TBOX, it is determined whether the TBOX is successfully connected to the satellite. If the connection is successful, it will be displayed as connected in green, and satellite calls and text messages can be made later. If the connection fails, the Tiantong satellite icon will be displayed in gray; it will be displayed in green after connecting to the satellite. After connecting to the terminal, the satellite search will be automatically performed.

In this embodiment, TBOX is paired with the mobile phone through Bluetooth technology. When TBOX is successfully paired with the mobile phone, the Bluetooth is hidden and cannot be scanned by other devices, ensuring the security and stability of communication. Make sure that the Bluetooth functions of TBOX and the mobile phone are turned on and are both in a searchable state. Search for nearby Bluetooth devices in the mobile phone Bluetooth settings and find the Bluetooth device name of TBOX. Click the Bluetooth device name of TBOX to pair, and enter the pairing code according to the system prompts to connect. When the mobile phone is successfully connected to TBOX, the Bluetooth connection status will be displayed as "Connected" or "Paired".

Bluetooth devices allow users to set their visibility. Once TBOX is paired with a mobile phone, TBOX automatically changes the Bluetooth setting to "invisible" or "non-detectable" mode. Other unpaired devices will not be able to search for TBOX's Bluetooth signal. When the mobile phone disconnects the Bluetooth connection with TBOX, TBOX automatically changes the Bluetooth setting to "visible" or "detectable" mode.

Case 1: Satellite call:

TBOX is connected to the mobile phone via Bluetooth, and the user enters the satellite communication APP interface of the mobile phone to make a satellite call. When a satellite call is connected, the user's mobile phone will have a satellite call connection reminder.

When making satellite calls on the mobile phone, the MIC (microphone) and speaker (speaker) of the mobile phone are used to make satellite calls. This ensures that users can use familiar mobile devices to communicate during satellite communications.

The user enters the satellite communication interface of the APP. If the HUT is currently communicating with the satellite, TBOX will synchronize the call status to the mobile APP via Bluetooth. At this time, the user can hang up the current satellite call on the mobile APP and use the APP to make a satellite call. After receiving the call, TBOX will hang up the current satellite communication and trigger a new satellite communication. Convenient control and management of satellite communication can be achieved through the APP.

Case 2: Satellite SMS:

When users send satellite SMS via TBOX, the satellite SMS is sent to the satellite via the Bluetooth channel; when the satellite receives the SMS, it is sent to the user's mobile phone via the Bluetooth module. This enables convenient sending and receiving of satellite SMS. Users can edit satellite SMS, which are sent to satellite SMS contacts by default.

Specifically:

The user edits the satellite SMS through the mobile satellite communication APP interface and transmits the SMS content to TBOX via Bluetooth. After receiving the SMS, TBOX returns the SMS sending result (success/failure) to the mobile satellite communication APP. The mobile satellite communication APP displays the sending result. When the user enters the SMS editing interface, the mobile satellite communication APP prompts the user whether to carry the current positioning information when sending the satellite SMS. If the user clicks yes, the current location information is filled in the SMS body and the SMS continues to be edited; if the user chooses no, the SMS continues to be edited.

When the satellite module receives the SMS, it transmits the information to the mobile phone APP via Bluetooth. The mobile phone satellite communication APP is displayed.

In this embodiment, a cellular network communication mode can also be used, that is, a dual-mode communication mode of satellite and cellular network is used to ensure that when an emergency occurs in the vehicle, no matter what network environment it is in, the distress message can be sent to the rescue center or emergency contact in a timely and effective manner. The system includes a NAD+ satellite communication module, which is equipped with a cellular card and a satellite card respectively, to realize functions such as Internet of Vehicles services, cellular calls, satellite communications, and satellite text messages.

In the cellular network mode, when the terrestrial wireless communication network is normal, the system will give priority to using the cellular network to dial ECALL. At this time, the TBOX service module will send the emergency information to the rescue center or emergency contact through the cellular card. In the satellite communication mode, when the terrestrial wireless communication network is unavailable (such as remote areas, infrastructure damage caused by natural disasters, etc.), the system will automatically switch to the satellite communication mode. At this time, the satellite communication module is awakened, and the ECALL dialing and emergency information sending are realized through the satellite card.
