近年來，隨著電子資訊的進步發展，車輛開發的趨勢也越來越智能化。除了基本的載運功能外，安全、及更多週邊應用功能的提升也成為產業中努力發展的議題。 In recent years, with the advancement of electronic information, the trend of vehicle development has become increasingly intelligent. In addition to basic transportation functions, the improvement of safety and more peripheral application functions has also become an issue that the industry is working hard to develop.

另一方面，隨著環保意識抬頭，以及電動車科技的進步，開發以電能作為動力來源的電動車輛取代以石化燃料作為動力的傳統車輛，逐漸成為車用領域內的重要目標，因此使得電動車輛愈來愈普及。一般來說，電動車輛更大量配備的電子元件/裝置，並可結合使用者的行動裝置來提供更多個人化的應用及體驗。 On the other hand, with the rise of environmental awareness and the advancement of electric vehicle technology, the development of electric vehicles powered by electricity to replace traditional vehicles powered by fossil fuels has gradually become an important goal in the automotive field, making electric vehicles more and more popular. Generally speaking, electric vehicles are equipped with a larger number of electronic components/devices and can be combined with users' mobile devices to provide more personalized applications and experiences.

舉例來說，對於車輛用戶而言，車輛被偷始終是用戶最大的擔心之一。一般來說，用戶不論是暫停或是長時間停放車輛都必須將車輛熄火，並上鎖，才以降低車輛被竊的機會。上述程序對於用戶而言都是繁瑣的程序之一，尤其是對於部分僅需要暫停車輛幾分鐘的用戶而言。 For example, for car users, theft is always one of their biggest concerns. Generally speaking, users must turn off and lock their vehicles whether they are parking them temporarily or for a long time to reduce the chance of theft. The above procedures are one of the cumbersome procedures for users, especially for some users who only need to park their vehicles for a few minutes.

有鑑於此，本發明提供車輛控制方法及系統。 In view of this, the present invention provides a vehicle control method and system.

Similarly, in some embodiments, the wireless network can be a Wi-Fi, or a Bluetooth network, etc. In some embodiments, the specific electronic device can be paired with the processing unit or the network connection unit of the vehicle in advance, so that the vehicle can know an identification data of the specific electronic device. In some embodiments, the specific electronic device can be a mobile device of a vehicle user, such as a smart device, a beacon, or a wireless key. It is noted that in some embodiments, while detecting the specific electronic device, it is also possible to determine whether the specific electronic device is connected to the vehicle through the wireless network to perform subsequent operations. When a specific electronic device is detected (step S620), as in step S630, a locking element of the vehicle is caused to enter an unlocked state. Similarly, in some embodiments, the locking element can be any locking mechanism that can lock a specific part of the vehicle. The locking element can have a locked state and an unlocked state. In some embodiments, when the vehicle is a motorcycle, the locking element can be used to lock a motorcycle fascia of the vehicle. Then, as in step S640, a detector is used to detect the presence of a specific user. It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the detector can include an image capture unit, a biometric detection unit, and/or a weight detector. In some embodiments, the image capture unit can be installed on the dashboard or rearview mirror of the vehicle. The biometric detection unit can be installed on the steering wheel or gas handle of the vehicle. When the detector is a weight detector, the weight detector can be installed under one of the vehicle's seats. It must be noted that the aforementioned detector and the installation method are only examples of this case, and the present invention is not limited to this. It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the data of a specific user, such as facial features, irises, fingerprints, etc., can be pre-installed in the vehicle for subsequent judgment. When the specific user is not detected (No in step S640), the process returns to step S610. When a specific user is detected (Yes in step S640), the vehicle is automatically caused to enter a startup state, such as step S650. As mentioned above, in some embodiments, the startup state may indicate that the ignition of the vehicle has been turned on. In some embodiments, the startup state may indicate that the vehicle has been started. In some embodiments, the vehicle needs to turn on the ignition first and then start to start its riding operation. When no specific electronic device is detected (No in step S620), the locking element of the vehicle is caused to enter a locking state, such as step S660.

第7圖顯示依據本發明另一實施例之車輛控制方法。依據本發明實施例之車輛控制方法適用於一車輛。在此實施例中，偵測器可以係設置於車輛之坐墊之下之一重量偵測器。 FIG. 7 shows a vehicle control method according to another embodiment of the present invention. The vehicle control method according to the embodiment of the present invention is applicable to a vehicle. In this embodiment, the detector may be a weight detector disposed under the seat of the vehicle.

首先，如步驟S710，車輛處於啟動狀態時，如行駛中利用 重量偵測器偵測相應一特定使用者之重量。如步驟S720，判斷重量偵測器是否偵測到特定使用者之重量或偵測到的重量是否改變。當偵測到特定使用者之重量或偵測到的重量並未改變時(步驟S720的否)，流程回到步驟S710。當並未偵測到特定使用者之重量或偵測到的重量改變時(步驟S720的是)，如步驟S730，對於車輛執行一限速作業，即車輛騎乘之一最高速率被限制至一特定速率。藉由限速作業可以降低因為用戶的危險駕駛行為所導致的危險。 First, as in step S710, when the vehicle is in the startup state, the weight detector is used to detect the weight of a specific user during driving. As in step S720, it is determined whether the weight detector detects the weight of the specific user or whether the detected weight has changed. When the weight of the specific user is detected or the detected weight has not changed (no in step S720), the process returns to step S710. When the weight of the specific user is not detected or the detected weight has not changed (yes in step S720), as in step S730, a speed limit operation is performed on the vehicle, that is, a maximum speed of the vehicle is limited to a specific speed. Speed limiting can reduce the danger caused by users' dangerous driving behaviors.

因此，透過本案之車輛控制方法及系統可以依據車輛與特定電子裝置間的連接狀態對於車輛進行控制。具體來說，當車輛用戶攜帶特定電子裝置位於車輛旁邊時，車輛可以自動將車輛解鎖。當車輛用戶離開車輛時，車輛可以被自動上鎖，而增加車輛的防盜安全性。另外，透過車輛上的偵測器更可進一步驗證車輛用戶，並提供車輛行駛時的安全防護。 Therefore, the vehicle control method and system of the present case can control the vehicle according to the connection status between the vehicle and the specific electronic device. Specifically, when the vehicle user carries the specific electronic device next to the vehicle, the vehicle can automatically unlock the vehicle. When the vehicle user leaves the vehicle, the vehicle can be automatically locked, thereby increasing the anti-theft security of the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle user can be further verified through the detector on the vehicle, and safety protection can be provided when the vehicle is driving.
