Xiaomi Auto Technology Co., Ltd. announced on September 12, via the Chinese Intellectual Property Office website, the publication of their patent titled “Vehicle Wake-up Method, Device, Storage Medium, and Vehicle.” This patent falls within the realm of vehicle technology.
In this method, the user’s vehicle usage record is first obtained, followed by the determination of the user’s vehicle usage time period based on this record. Subsequently, the vehicle is awakened before the current time period reaches the vehicle usage time.
This proactive approach ensures that when the end user engages with the vehicle, it is already in a wakeful state. Consequently, it can promptly respond to the user’s commands, enhancing the overall driving experience and addressing the issue of sluggish vehicle responsiveness in related scenarios.
Moreover, by rousing the vehicle before the driving time period begins, this method can curtail vehicle energy consumption in comparison to continuously maintaining the vehicle in an active state.
The background technology highlighted in Xiaomi Auto patent underscores that while users can currently control their vehicles remotely through mobile devices, actions such as adjusting the air conditioning, unlocking, and locking may still incur frustratingly long response times in certain situations, diminishing the user experience.
In particular, this patent empowers the vehicle to access the user’s vehicle usage records and ascertain the appropriate vehicle usage time period based on these records. Ultimately, this innovation serves the purpose of prompting the vehicle to awaken, mitigating delays, and enhancing user satisfaction.
