Abstract

The present disclosure provides a vehicle operation control method, device and system. The vehicle operation control method includes: receiving a vehicle operation instruction sent by a user terminal over a cellular network, which carries a vehicle identifier of an operated vehicle; searching stored correspondence relationships between vehicle identifiers and vehicle positional information for vehicle positional information of the operated vehicle according to the vehicle identifier, wherein the vehicle positional information is reported by the operated vehicle through a home road communication base station, and a signal coverage area of the home road communication base station covers the position where the operated vehicle is located; determining a device identifier of the home road communication base station of the operated vehicle according to the found vehicle positional information; and sending the vehicle operation instruction to the operated vehicle through the home road communication base station corresponding to the device identifier.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A vehicle operation control method, comprising:
receiving a vehicle operation instruction sent by a user terminal over a cellular network, wherein the vehicle operation instruction carries a vehicle identifier of an operated vehicle;
searching stored correspondence relationships between vehicle identifiers and vehicle positional information for vehicle positional information of the operated vehicle according to the vehicle identifier, wherein the vehicle positional information is reported by the operated vehicle through a home road communication base station, and a signal coverage area of the home road communication base station covers the position where the operated vehicle is located;
determining a device identifier of the home road communication base station of the operated vehicle according to the found vehicle positional information; and
sending the vehicle operation instruction to the operated vehicle through the home road communication base station corresponding to the device identifier.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle operation instruction further carries a user identifier, and
before the stored correspondence relationships between vehicle identifiers and vehicle positional information are searched for the vehicle positional information of the operated vehicle according to the vehicle identifier, the method further comprises:
determining that there is a correspondence relationship between the user identifier and the vehicle identifier carried in the vehicle operation instruction among pre-created correspondence relationships between user identifiers and vehicle identifiers.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein creating the correspondence relationships between user identifiers and vehicle identifiers comprises:
receiving a binding request sent by the user terminal, wherein the binding request carriers a user identifier and at least one vehicle identifier, and
creating correspondence relationships between the received user identifier and respective vehicle identifiers respectively.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the home road communication base station sends the vehicle operation instruction to the operated vehicle in a V2X message comprising a field carrying the vehicle identifier of the operated vehicle, and another field carrying the vehicle operation instruction.

5. A vehicle operation control device, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory, wherein:
one or more computer readable program codes are stored in the memory, and the one or more processors are configured to perform the one or more computer readable program to perform:
receiving a vehicle operation instruction sent by a user terminal over a cellular network, wherein the vehicle operation instruction carries a vehicle identifier of an operated vehicle;
searching stored correspondence relationships between vehicle identifiers and vehicle positional information for vehicle positional information of the operated vehicle according to the vehicle identifier, wherein the vehicle positional information is reported by the operated vehicle through a home road communication base station, and a signal coverage area of the home road communication base station covers the position where the operated vehicle is located;
determining a device identifier of the home road communication base station of the operated vehicle according to the found vehicle positional information; and
sending the vehicle operation instruction to the operated vehicle through the home road communication base station corresponding to the device identifier.

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the vehicle operation instruction further carries a user identifier, and
the one or more processors are further configured to perform the one or more computer readable program to perform:
before the stored correspondence relationships between vehicle identifiers and vehicle positional information are searched for the vehicle positional information of the operated vehicle according to the vehicle identifier, determining that there is a correspondence relationship between the user identifier and the vehicle identifier carried in the vehicle operation instruction among pre-created correspondence relationships between user identifiers and vehicle identifiers.

7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to perform the one or more computer readable program to perform:
receiving a binding request sent by the user terminal, wherein the binding request carriers a user identifier and at least one vehicle identifier, and
creating correspondence relationships between the received user identifier and respective vehicle identifiers respectively.

8. A vehicle operation control system, comprising a user terminal, a network server, at least one road communication base station, and at least one vehicle in which a communication module is installed, wherein:
the vehicle is configured to report its vehicle positional information to the network server over a home road communication base station of the vehicle, wherein a signal coverage area of the home road communication base station of the vehicle covers the position where the vehicle is located; and to perform a corresponding operation upon reception of a vehicle operation instruction sent by the network server through the home road communication base station;
the user terminal is configured to send the vehicle operation instruction to the network server, wherein the vehicle operation instruction carries a vehicle identifier of the operated vehicle;
the network server is configured to store a correspondence relationship between the vehicle identifier of the vehicle and the vehicle positional information reported by the vehicle upon reception of the vehicle positional information reported by the vehicle; and upon reception of the vehicle operation instruction, to search the stored correspondence relationships between vehicle identifiers and vehicle positional information for the vehicle positional information corresponding to the vehicle identifier carried in the vehicle operation instruction according to the vehicle identifier carried in the vehicle operation instruction; to determine a device identifier of the home road communication base station of the operated vehicle according to the found vehicle positional information; and to send the vehicle operation instruction to the operated vehicle through the home road communication base station corresponding to the device identifier.

9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein:
the vehicle is further configured to send an operation acknowledgement message to the network server through the home road communication base station after performing the corresponding operation in response to the vehicle operation instruction; and
the network server is further configured to send the operation acknowledgement message to the user terminal.

10. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the vehicle operation instruction further carries a user identifier; and
the network server is further configured to determine that there is a correspondence relationship between the user identifier and the vehicle identifier carried in the vehicle operation instruction among pre-created correspondence relationships between user identifiers and vehicle identifiers before the stored correspondence relationships between vehicle identifiers and vehicle positional information are searched for the vehicle positional information of the operated vehicle according to the vehicle identifier.

11. The system according to claim 9 , wherein the vehicle operation instruction further c
