Abstract

A vehicle alarming method includes measuring a pressure value of a vehicle through a pressure sensor, detecting whether a paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within a preset distance range when the pressure value of the vehicle is reduced to a preset pressure range, and performing alarming when the paired terminal is not detected.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A vehicle alarming method, comprising:
measuring a pressure value of a vehicle through a pressure sensor, the pressure value being measured by detecting an entire load of the vehicle through a wheel pressure sensor arranged on a wheel of the vehicle, the entire load of the vehicle serving as the pressure value of the vehicle;
detecting whether a paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within a preset distance range when the pressure value of the vehicle is reduced to a preset pressure range, whether the paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within the preset distance range being detected by detecting whether the paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within the preset distance range when the entire load of the vehicle is reduced to a preset pressure range that is set taking into consideration of a weight of the vehicle and a weight of a person or an article in the vehicle;
performing alarming when the paired terminal is not detected, wherein performing alarming includes sending an alarming message to the paired terminal through a mobile network or the Internet and sounding an alarm;
cancelling the alarm when a distance between the vehicle and the paired terminal is determined to be less than a preset distance range threshold;
sending another alarming message to the paired terminal when the paired terminal is detected.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein measuring the pressure value of the vehicle through the pressure sensor includes:
detecting a load of a cabin of the vehicle through a cabin pressure sensor arranged on the cabin, the load of the cabin serving as the pressure value of the vehicle.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein detecting whether the paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within the preset distance range when the pressure value of the vehicle is reduced to the preset pressure range includes:
detecting whether the paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within the preset distance range when the load of the cabin is reduced to a preset pressure range that is set taking into consideration a weight of the cabin and a weight of a person or an article in the cabin.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting whether the paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within the preset distance range includes:
detecting whether the paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within the preset distance range through Bluetooth or wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi).

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, after performing alarming:
canceling alarming when an alarm cancel message from the paired terminal is received.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, when the paired terminal is within the preset distance range:
establishing a connection with the paired terminal through Bluetooth or wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) when the paired terminal is detected; and
sending a reminder message to the paired terminal via the connection.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, before detecting the pressure value of the vehicle:
performing pairing with at least one preset terminal, one of the at least one preset terminal, after being paired, serving as the paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting whether the paired terminal is within the preset distance range includes detecting whether a paired smart phone or a paired wearable smart device is within the preset distance range.

9. A vehicle alarming device, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
measure a pressure value of a vehicle through a pressure sensor, the pressure value being measured by detecting an entire load of the vehicle through a wheel pressure sensor arranged on a wheel of the vehicle, the entire load of the vehicle serving as the pressure value of the vehicle;
detect whether a paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within a preset distance range when the pressure value of the vehicle is reduced to a preset pressure range, whether the paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within the preset distance range being detected by detecting whether the paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within the preset distance range when the entire load of the vehicle is reduced to a preset pressure range that is set taking into consideration of a weight of the vehicle and a weight of a person or an article in the vehicle;
perform alarming when the paired terminal is not detected, by sending an alarming message to the paired terminal through a mobile network or the Internet and sounding an alarm;
cancel the alarm when a distance between the vehicle and the paired terminal is determined to be less than a preset distance range threshold;
send another alarming message to the paired terminal when the paired terminal is detected.

10. The vehicle alarming device according to claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
detect a load of a cabin of the vehicle through a cabin pressure sensor arranged in the cab, the load of the cabin serving as the pressure value of the vehicle.

11. The vehicle alarming device according to claim 10 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
detect whether the paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within the preset distance range when the load of the cabin is reduced to a preset pressure range set taking into consideration a weight of the cabin and a weight of a person or an article in the cabin.

12. The vehicle alarming device according to claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
detect whether the paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within the preset distance range through Bluetooth or wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi).

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a vehicle alarming device installed on a vehicle, cause the device to:
measure a pressure value of the vehicle through a pressure sensor, the pressure value being measured by detecting an entire load of the vehicle through a wheel pressure sensor arranged on a wheel of the vehicle, the entire load of the vehicle serving as the pressure value of the vehicle;
detect whether a paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within a preset distance range when the pressure value of the vehicle is reduced to a preset pressure range, whether the paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within the preset distance range being detected by detecting whether the paired terminal corresponding to the vehicle is within the preset distance range when the entire load of the vehicle is reduced to a preset pressure range that is set taking into consideration of a weight of the vehicle and a weight of a person or an article in the vehicle;
perform alarming when the paired terminal is not detected, wherein performing alarming includes sending an alarming message to the paired terminal through a mobile network or the Internet and sounding an alarm;
cancel the alarm when a distance between the vehicle and the paired terminal is determined to be less than a preset distance range threshold;
send another alarming message to the paired terminal when the paired terminal is detected.
