AI car-finding tool in the era of smart cars! Tencent obtains new patent to help parking lot car-finding more convenient

Recently, public information shows that Tencent has obtained another patent, which aims to solve the problem of users having difficulty finding their cars in parking lots. According to the patent document, the patent is called a method, device, equipment and computer-readable storage medium for finding and guiding cars.

The main principle is to interconnect with the car computer through a mobile phone applet, and use the positioning and camera functions of the vehicle sensors to record the entire process information from entering the parking lot to parking. Users can review relevant information such as parking space numbers based on the applet, so that they can find their parking location faster and more conveniently.

In recent years, as parking lots in large commercial complexes and residential areas have become larger and larger, their internal structures have become complex, and various passages and entrances and exits have crisscrossed. While it has brought convenience to users, it has also caused many users to suffer the pain of "finding a needle in a haystack" in finding a car. In the past, the industry has provided solutions to the problem of difficulty in finding a car, including mobile phone navigation map positioning, license plate "positioning" to find a car, etc., but faced with large and complex parking lots, users still cannot find their parking spaces more efficiently and conveniently. Compared with the above solutions, Tencent's new patent proposes a new solution.

It is understood that based on this patent, Tencent Smart Travel will soon launch the "Xiaoe Find Car" applet to achieve synchronization between the mobile phone and the car. After the binding is completed, users can receive parking information push through the mobile applet and official account after parking.

As soon as the user enters the parking lot, the backend of the car machine starts working, intelligently capturing information including parking floor information, parking space number, parking driving trajectory, etc. Based on the vehicle's reverse gear status, the car search record function can be automatically triggered, and the parking information can be pushed to the car machine mini program.

When users need to find a parking space, they can open the mobile mini program. In addition to the parking floor information and parking space number, users can also view the complete parking video in the mobile mini program, recall the parking location through multi-dimensional parking information, say goodbye to the anxiety of finding a car, and get a better travel experience.

In addition to providing users with the car-finding function, Tencent can also provide users with one-stop services for after-parking scenarios, including calculation of parking time in the parking lot, contactless payment of parking fees, and sharing pages with relatives and friends to help them find the car better.

It is reported that "Xiaoe Car Search" is expected to be launched within the year. Car owners who meet the hardware requirements can use this function after completing the binding through the mini program.
