Abstract

The disclosure relates to an anti-theft method for a balance vehicle, a device, and a non-transitory computer readable medium. The method includes measuring a first set of physiological characteristics of a first user that is currently occupying the balance vehicle; retrieving a second set of physiological characteristics from storage, wherein the second set of physiological characteristics is associated with at least one second user that is permitted to operate the balance vehicle; comparing the first set of physiological characteristics with the second set of physiological characteristics; determining whether the first user is different from the second user based on the comparison; and generating a prompt that is configured to indicate whether the first user is different from the second user based on the determination.

Claims

1. An anti-theft method for a balance vehicle, comprising:

measuring a first set of physiological characteristics of a first user that is currently occupying the balance vehicle;

retrieving a second set of physiological characteristics from storage, wherein the second set of physiological characteristics is associated with at least one second user that is permitted to operate the balance vehicle;

comparing the first set of physiological characteristics with the second set of physiological characteristics;

determining whether the first user is different from the second user based on the comparison; and

generating a prompt that is configured to indicate whether the first user is different from the second user based on the determination.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first set of physiological characteristics includes at least one of a weight of the first user and an area occupied by a foot of the first user.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the first set of physiological characteristics includes the weight of the first user, and wherein the weight of the first user is measured via a weight sensor installed on the balance vehicle.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the first set of physiological characteristics includes the area occupied by the foot of the first user, and wherein the area is measured via a pressure sensor installed on the balance vehicle.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the prompt is generated by at least one of displaying content and playing voice.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving an update instruction with respect to the second set of physiological characteristics; and

updating the second set of physiological characteristics based on the update instruction, wherein the update instruction includes at least one of an adding instruction, a deleting instruction, and a modifying instruction.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein when the update instruction includes at least one of the adding instruction and the modifying instruction, updating the second set of physiological characteristics includes:

receiving physiological characteristics information based on the update instruction; and

updating the second set of physiological characteristics based on the received physiological characteristics information.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the physiological characteristics information is received via a terminal or via the balance vehicle.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein comparing the first set of physiological characteristics with the second set of physiological characteristics includes determining whether the second set of physiological characteristics includes the first set of physiological characteristics, and wherein the method further comprises:

disabling operation of the balance vehicle by the first user when it is determined that the second set of physiological characteristics does not include the first set of physiological characteristics; and

enabling operation of the balance vehicle by the first user when it is determined that the second set of physiological characteristics includes the first set of physiological characteristics.

10. An anti-theft device for a balance vehicle, comprising:

a processor;

a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to;

measure a first set of physiological characteristics of a first user that is currently occupying the balance vehicle;

retrieve a second set of physiological characteristics from the memory, wherein the second set of physiological characteristics is associated with at least one second user that is permitted to operate the balance vehicle;

compare the first set of physiological characteristics with the second set of physiological characteristics;

determine whether the first user is different from the second user based on the comparison; and

generate a prompt that is configured to indicate whether the first user is different from the second user based on the determination.

11. The device of claim 10, wherein the first set of physiological characteristics includes at least one of a weight of the first user and an area occupied by a foot of the first user.

12. The device of claim 11, wherein the first set of physiological characteristics includes the weight of the first user, and wherein the weight of the first user is measured via a weight sensor installed on the balance vehicle.

13. The device of claim 11, wherein the first set of physiological characteristics includes the area occupied by the foot of the first user, and wherein the area is measured via a pressure sensor installed on the balance vehicle.

14. The device of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to generate the prompt by at least one of displaying content and playing voice.

15. The device of claim 10, the processor is further configured to:

receive an update instruction with respect to the second set of physiological characteristics; and

update the second set of physiological characteristics based on the update instruction, wherein the update instruction includes at least one of an adding instruction, a deleting instruction, and a modifying instruction.

16. The device of claim 15, wherein when the update instruction includes at least one of the adding instruction and the modifying instruction, the processor is further configured to:

receive physiological characteristics information based on the update instruction; and

update the second set of physiological characteristics based on the received physiological characteristics information.

17. The device of claim 16, wherein the processor is further configured to receive the physiological characteristics information via a terminal or via the balance vehicle.

18. The device of claim 10, wherein when comparing the first set of physiological characteristics with the second set of physiological characteristics, the processor is further configured to:

determine whether the second set of physiological characteristics includes the first set of physiological characteristics;

disable operation of the balance vehicle by the first user when it is determined that the second set of physiological characteristics does not include the first set of physiological characteristics; and

enable operation of the balance vehicle by the first user when it is determined that the second set of physiological characteristics includes the first set of physiological characteristics.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for causing a computer to:

measure a first set of physiological characteristics of a first user that is currently occupying a balance vehicle;

retrieve a second set of physiological characteristics from storage, wherein the second set of physiological characteristics is associated with at least one second user that is permitted to operate the balance vehicle;

compare the first set of physiological characteristics with the second set of physiological characteristics;

determine whether the first user is different from the second user based on the comparison; and

generate a prompt that is configured to indicate whether the first user is different from the second user based on the determination.
