At present, a vehicle-mounted terminal in a vehicle and a client installed in a user terminal are connected with a background server through a mobile network to realize remote control of the vehicle, but in a remote or extremely weak mobile network scene, if the network connection is lost in a garage, a user cannot feel good car networking experience.

Disclosure of Invention

In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for performing remote communication with a vehicle, including:

the method comprises the steps that a server receives a control instruction, and the control instruction is sent through a PSTN when a user terminal determines that no wireless fidelity (Wifi) signal is available around and the signal intensity of a mobile network is lower than a set value;

determining the identifier of the vehicle-mounted terminal corresponding to the identifier of the user terminal carried in the control instruction according to the established corresponding relationship between the identifier of the user terminal and the identifier of the vehicle-mounted terminal;

determining a network access mode currently used by the vehicle-mounted terminal;

and sending the control instruction to the vehicle-mounted terminal by using a data channel established for the network access mode, and controlling the vehicle to respond to the control instruction by the vehicle-mounted terminal.

By adopting the scheme, when no available Wifi signal exists around the user terminal and the signal intensity of the mobile network is lower than a set value, the control instruction can be sent to the server through the PSTN, so that the user terminal can also send the control instruction to the vehicle even if the network coverage around the user terminal is weak, and therefore a more reliable scheme for experiencing the vehicle networking experience can be provided for the user.

Considering a situation that one user may own a plurality of vehicles, in a possible implementation, determining, according to an established correspondence between an identifier of a user terminal and an identifier of a vehicle-mounted terminal, an identifier of the vehicle-mounted terminal corresponding to the identifier of the user terminal carried in the control instruction includes:

and sending a response message to the server.

Here, since the data transmission amount supported by the NB IoT or the PSTN is relatively small, if the network access method currently used by the in-vehicle terminal is the NB IoT or the PSTN, the data amount included in the response message may be made smaller than the set size.

In addition, although the data transmission amount supported by NB IoT or PSTN is relatively small, the two network access methods are relatively power-saving, so in a possible implementation, the method further includes:

and when the parking time of the vehicle is determined to reach the preset time length, the currently used network access mode is adjusted to NB IoT or PSTN.
