2. The new patent of Xiaomi Automobile was announced.

On September 19th, according to the announcement on the website of China National Intellectual Property Administration, the patent of "Vehicle Wake-up Method, Device, Storage Media and Vehicle" of Xiaomi Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. was announced on September 12th. The invention relates to a vehicle wake-up method, a device, a storage medium and a vehicle, and relates to the technical field of vehicles.

The method comprises the following steps: acquiring a record of a user using a vehicle; According to the record, the user’s car time period is determined from the time period; Wake up the vehicle before it reaches the car time period of the current time period.

When the end user uses the vehicle, the vehicle is already awake, which can quickly respond to the user’s operation, improve the user’s car experience, and solve the problem of slow vehicle response in related scenes.

Because the vehicle is woken up before the car use period, it can reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle compared with the way of waking up the vehicle all the time.

The patent of Xiaomi Automobile points out in the background that the current user can remotely control the vehicle to perform operations such as turning on the air conditioner and unlocking the lock through the mobile phone, but the response time of the vehicle to the user’s operation request is still long in some scenes, which reduces the user’s experience.

Specifically, the patent will allow the vehicle to obtain the user’s car records, and determine the car time period from the time period according to the records, and finally realize the purpose of waking up the vehicle.
