Abstract

The objective of the present application is to provide a method and apparatus for processing real-time vehicle operating data, aiming at solving the technical problem that car owners couldn'"'"'t obtain real-time vehicle operating data to ensure safety via an existing vehicle-mounted system. The method comprises: obtaining real-time vehicle operating data from an electronic control unit of the vehicle via a vehicle bus; reading the real-time vehicle operating data from a serial port; determining whether there is data that needs to be answered in the real-time vehicle operating data and storing the real-time vehicle operating data into a data queue whose data need to be answered and a data queue whose data doesn'"'"'t need to be answered respectively after the determination; transmitting the real-time vehicle operating data to a background server, so that the background server can provide current vehicle with diagnostic message or service information. Compared with the prior art, the method provided in the embodiment of the present application can provide car owners with remote diagnosis or remote service conveniently, thereby reducing various costs of using cars.

Claims

1. A method for processing vehicle operating data, wherein the method includes procedures as follows:

via a vehicle bus, obtaining real-time vehicle operating data from an electronic control unit of a vehicle;

reading the real-time vehicle operating data from a serial port;

determining whether there is data that needs to be answered in the real-time vehicle operating data and storing the real-time vehicle operating data into a data queue whose data needs to be answered and a data queue whose data doesn'"'"'t need to be answered respectively after the determination;

transmitting the real-time vehicle operating data to a background server, so that the background server provides the current vehicle with diagnostic message or service information.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein after reading the real-time vehicle operating data via the serial port, the method comprises:

judging whether the vehicle is stopped according to the real-time vehicle operating data;

if the vehicle is judging as being stopped, controlling a vehicle operating data processing apparatus to turn into a sleep mode.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein before the real-time vehicle operating data is transmitted to the background server, the method further comprises:

judging whether a login into the background server is successful;

if the login into the background server is successful, transmitting the real-time vehicle operating data to the background server.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein transmitting the real-time vehicle operating data to the background server includes:

transmitting the real-time vehicle operating data in the data queue whose data needn'"'"'t to be answered to the background server directly; and

transmitting the real-time vehicle operating data in the data queue whose data need to be answered to the background server and waiting for a response of the background server;

if the background server replies a response, go on transmitting the real-time vehicle operating data stored in the form of data file to the background server.

5. The method according to claim 3, wherein if the login into the background server fails or there is no response of the background server, storing the real-time vehicle operating data locally;

and

if the background server replies after the real-time vehicle operating data is transmitted to the background server, eliminating the real-time vehicle operating data stored in the form of data files locally.

6. An apparatus for processing vehicle operating data, wherein the apparatus comprises a first processor and a second processor, the second processor comprises a data reading module, a first judging module and a first transmitting module;

the first processor is configured for obtaining real-time vehicle operating data from an electronic control unit of the vehicle via a vehicle bus;

the data reading module is configured for reading real-time vehicle operating data obtained by the first processor from an serial port;

the first judging module is configured for determining whether there is data that needs to be answered in the real-time vehicle operating data and storing the classified real-time vehicle operating data into a data queue whose data need to be answered and a data queue whose data does not need to be answered respectively after determination;

the first transmitting module is configured for transmitting the real-time vehicle operating data to a background server, so that the background server can provide the current vehicle with diagnostic message or service information.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the second processor comprises:

a second judging module configured for judging whether the vehicle is stopped via the real-time vehicle operating data after the real-time vehicle operating data is read by the data reading module from the serial port; and

a dormancy control module configured for controlling the apparatus for processing vehicle data processing to turn into a sleep mode when the second judging module judges that the vehicle is stopped.

8. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the second processor further comprises:

a third judging module configured for judging whether a login into the background server is successful before the real-time vehicle operating data is transmitted to the background server by the first transmitting module; and

a third transmitting module configured for transmitting the real-time vehicle operating data to the background server when the login into the background server is successful.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the first transmitting module comprises:

a fourth transmitting unit configured for transmitting the real-time vehicle operating data in the data queue whose data doesn'"'"'t need to be answered to the background server directly;

a fifth transmitting module configured for transmitting the real-time vehicle operating data in the data queue whose data need to be answered to the background server and waiting for a reply of the background server; and

a sixth transmitting module configured for go on transmitting the real-time vehicle operating data stored in the form of data files to the background server if the background server replies a response.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the second processor further comprises:

a data storing module configured for storing the real-time vehicle operating data locally when the login into the background server fails or there is no reply from the background server; and

a data eliminating module configured for eliminating the real-time vehicle operating data stored locally in the form of data file if the background server replies after the real-time vehicle operating data stored in the form of data files is transmitted to the background server by the third transmitting module.
