Abstract

A method for displaying a smooth movement of a vehicle on a map may include obtaining a route, a last real-time location of the vehicle, and a last uploading time point. The method may also include obtaining driving data of one or more neighboring vehicles and determining a predicted location of the vehicle at a prediction generating time point. The method may further include displaying a smooth movement of the vehicle from the last real-time location to the predicted location on a map. A method for displaying a driving path of a vehicle on a map may include obtaining a request for displaying a driving path of a vehicle, location information of the vehicle, and scene related information associated with the driving path. The method may further include verifying the location information based on the scene related information and displaying the driving path of the vehicle on a map.

First claim

We claim:

1. A method implemented on a computing device having at least one processor, at least one computer-readable storage medium, and a communication platform connected to a network for displaying a driving path of a vehicle on a map, the method comprising:
obtaining a request for displaying a driving path of a vehicle from a terminal device;
obtaining location information of the vehicle;
obtaining scene related information associated with the driving path of the vehicle;
verifying the location information based on the scene related information; and
displaying the driving path of the vehicle based on the verified location information on a map implemented on the terminal device, including:
dividing the driving path of the vehicle into a plurality of segments based on time information, driver information, and driving data;
determining displaying properties for the plurality of segments; and
displaying the driving path of the vehicle on the map based on the displaying properties for the plurality of segments,
wherein at least two neighboring segments have different displaying properties.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scene related information associated with the driving path of the vehicle includes at least one of
video information related to scenes along the driving path of the vehicle,
image information related to the scenes along the driving path of the vehicle, or
audio information related to the scenes along the driving path of the vehicle; and
wherein obtaining the scene related information associated with the driving path of the vehicle includes:
communicating with an information acquisition device in the vehicle over the network; and
obtaining at least one of the video information, the image information, or the audio information recorded by the information acquisition device over the network.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein verifying the location information based on the scene related information includes:
identifying target objects on the driving path of the vehicle based on the video information, image information, or audio information;
determining whether the location information of the vehicle needs to be corrected based on the target objects on the driving path; and
in response to a determination that the location information of the vehicle associated with the driving path needs to be corrected, correcting the location information of the vehicle based on the target objects on the driving path of the vehicle.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the driving path of the vehicle based on the verified location information on a map implemented on the terminal device includes:
obtaining an actual driving path generating speed of the vehicle; and
displaying dynamically the driving path of the vehicle on the map based on the actual driving path generating speed of the vehicle.

5. A system for displaying a driving path of a vehicle on a map, comprising:
at least one storage medium storing a set of instructions;
at least one communication platform connected to a network; and
at least one processor configured to communicate with the at least one storage medium or the at least one communication platform, wherein when executing the set of instructions, the at least one processor is directed to cause the system to:
obtain a request for displaying a driving path of a vehicle from a terminal device;
obtain location information of the vehicle associated with the driving path via communicating with a service provider over a network;
obtain scene related information associated with the driving path of the vehicle;
verify the location information based on the scene related information; and
display the driving path of the vehicle based on the verified location information on a map implemented on the terminal device, wherein to display the driving path of the vehicle based on the verified location information on a map implemented on the terminal device, the at least one processor is further directed to cause the system to:
divide the driving path of the vehicle into a plurality of segments based on time information, driver information, and driving data;
determine displaying properties for the plurality of segments; and
display the driving path of the vehicle on the map based on the displaying properties for the plurality of segments,
wherein at least two neighboring segments have different displaying properties.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the scene related information associated with the driving path of the vehicle includes at least one of
video information related to scenes along the driving path of the vehicle,
image information related to the scenes along the driving path of the vehicle, or
audio information related to the scenes along the driving path of the vehicle.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein to obtain the scene related information associated with the driving path of the vehicle, the at least one processor is further directed to cause the system to:
communicate with an information acquisition device in the vehicle over the network; and
obtain at least one of the video information, the image information, or the audio information recorded by the information acquisition device over the network.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein to verify the location information based on the scene related information, the at least one processor is further directed to cause the system to:
identify target objects on the driving path of the vehicle based on the video information, image information, or audio information;
determine whether the location information of the vehicle needs to be corrected based on the target objects on the driving path; and
in response to a determination that the location information of the vehicle associated with the driving path needs to be corrected, correct the location information of the vehicle based on the target objects on the driving path of the vehicle.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further directed to cause the system to:
display the driving path of the vehicle based on the corrected location information of the vehicle on the map implemented on the terminal device.

10. The system of claim 5 , wherein to display the driving path of the vehicle based on the verified location information on a map implemented on the terminal device, the at least one processor is further directed to cause the system to:
obtain an actual driving path generating speed of the vehicle; and
display dynamically the driving path of the vehicle on the map based on the actual driving path generating speed of the vehicle.

11. The system of claim 5 , wherein the displaying properties for the plurality of segments include at least one of brightness of the color, hue of the color, or thickness of the driving path.

12. The system of claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is further directed to cause the system to:
obtain abnormal events of the vehicle in a historical period;
determine whether an abnormal event occurred on the driving path of the vehicle; and
in response to a determination that an abnormal event occurred on the driving path of the vehicle, tag a corresponding location to the abnormal event on the driving path of the vehicle.
