Abstract

A vehicle start method, which is used for starting a vehicle using a mobile terminal and a vehicle key in a non-contact manner and comprises: a mobile terminal sending a start request; the mobile terminal acquiring a first security authentication code in response to the start request; the mobile terminal acquiring key information from the vehicle key; the mobile terminal generating a start data stream in a predetermined manner according to the key information and the first security authentication code, and sending the start data stream to the vehicle; the vehicle receiving the start data stream, and acquiring the first security authentication code and the key information from the start data stream; the vehicle verifying whether the first security authentication code is correct, and determining whether the key information matches the vehicle; and only when both of the results are positive, a vehicle controller starting the vehicle.

Claims

1. A vehicle starting method for starting a vehicle in a contactless manner with a mobile terminal and a keyless entry, wherein key information about the keyless entry that matches the vehicle is stored in the keyless entry, the starting method comprising:

the mobile terminal sending a starting request;

the mobile terminal acquiring a first security authentication code in response to the starting request;

the mobile terminal acquiring the key information from the keyless entry;

the mobile terminal generating a starting data stream in a predetermined manner according to the key information and the first security authentication code and sending the starting data stream to the vehicle;

the vehicle receiving the starting data stream from the mobile terminal and acquiring the first security authentication code and the key information from the starting data stream;

the vehicle verifying whether the first security authentication code is correct and determining whether the key information matches the vehicle; and

a vehicle controller starting the vehicle in the case that the first security authentication code is correct and the key information matches the vehicle.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the vehicle receives the starting request and generates the first security authentication code in response to the starting request.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the mobile terminal has first identity information for identifying the mobile terminal, the vehicle has second identity information for identifying the vehicle, and the first and second identity information are bound;

wherein the first identity information of the mobile terminal is contained in the starting request, and the starting request is sent to the vehicle having the second identity information bound to the first identity information, and the vehicle sends the first security authentication code to the mobile terminal having the first identity information.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein a remote server generates the first security authentication code and a second security authentication code that matches the first security authentication code, and sends the first security authentication code to the mobile terminal and the second security authentication code to the vehicle;

wherein a matching operation is performed on the first security authentication code and the second security authentication code to verify whether the first security authentication code is correct.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the mobile terminal has the first identity information for identifying the mobile terminal, the vehicle has the second identity information for identifying the vehicle, and the first and second identity information are bound at the remote server;

wherein the first identity information of the mobile terminal is contained in the starting request, and the remote server sends the first security authentication code to the mobile terminal having the first identity information and sends the second security authentication code to the vehicle having the second identity information bound to the first identity information.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the first identity information is provided by a first subscriber identification module disposed at the mobile terminal for mobile communications, and the second identity information is provided by a second subscriber identification module disposed at the vehicle for mobile communications;

optionally, data is transmitted among the mobile terminal, the vehicle and the remote server.

7. The method according to claim 4, wherein the starting request is sent directly from the mobile terminal to the remote server, and upon receipt of the second security authentication code by the vehicle, at least a part of an on-board bus controller of the vehicle is awakened to prepare for starting the vehicle;

alternatively,

the starting request is sent from the mobile terminal to the vehicle, and then forwarded to the remote server by the vehicle; and

upon receipt of the starting request by the vehicle, at least a part of the on-board bus controller of the vehicle is awakened to prepare for starting the vehicle.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first and/or second security authentication code is set to have a valid time;

optionally, the starting data stream is generated by the mobile terminal only in the case that the first security authentication code is valid, and/or a determination is made by the vehicle as to whether the first security authentication code matches the second security authentication code only in the case that the second security authentication code is valid.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the vehicle enters a sleep state in the case that the vehicle is not started within the valid time.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the key information is acquired by the mobile terminal from the keyless entry by way of wireless communication, preferably near field communication.

11. The method according to claim 3, wherein the first identity information is provided by a first subscriber identification module disposed at the mobile terminal for mobile communications, and the second identity information is provided by a second subscriber identification module disposed at the vehicle for mobile communications;

optionally, data is transmitted over a mobile communication network between the mobile terminal and the vehicle.
