Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an electronic device communicatively connected to a vehicle. The electronic device includes a network interface configured to receive information associated with the vehicle, and at least one processor. The processor is configured to detect a vehicle status based on the information and the vehicle status is indicative of a predetermined condition. The processor is further configured to receive an authorization for controlling the vehicle and take control, upon detecting the vehicle status and receiving the authorization, from a default controller of the vehicle.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An electronic device communicatively connected to a vehicle, comprising:
 a network interface configured to receive information associated with the vehicle; and   at least one processor configured to:
 detect a vehicle status based on the information, the vehicle status indicative of a predetermined condition; 
 receive an authorization for controlling the vehicle; and 
 take control, upon detecting the vehicle status and receiving the authorization, from a default controller of the vehicle. 
   
     
     
         2 . The electronic device according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
 instruct an on-board device to perform a predetermined operation of the vehicle according to the authorization.   
     
     
         3 . The electronic device according to  claim 2 , wherein the predetermined operation includes at least one of a turning on operation or a turning off operation. 
     
     
         4 . The electronic device according to  claim 1 , wherein the information is acquired by at least one on-board device of the vehicle. 
     
     
         5 . The electronic device according to  claim 1 , wherein the authorization assigns the electronic device with a higher control priority over the default controller. 
     
     
         6 . The electronic device according to  claim 1 , wherein the vehicle is assigned to provide an online on-demand transportation service to a passenger. 
     
     
         7 . The electronic device according to  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined condition is a state abnormality associated with the vehicle. 
     
     
         8 . The electronic device according to  claim 7 , wherein the state abnormality includes at least one of a GPS model abnormality, a location abnormality, or an environmental abnormality of the vehicle. 
     
     
         9 . The electronic device according to  claim 1 , wherein to detect the vehicle status, the at least one processor is further configured to compare the information with at least one predetermined rule. 
     
     
         10 . The electronic device according to  claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is a virtual reality device or an augmented reality device. 
     
     
         11 . A method for operating a vehicle using an electronic device communicatively connected to the vehicle, comprising:
 receiving, via a communication interface of the electronic device, information associated with the vehicle;   detecting, by at least one processor of the electronic device, a vehicle status based on the information, the vehicle status indicative of a predetermined condition;   receiving an authorization for controlling the vehicle; and   taking control by the at least one processor, upon detecting the vehicle status and receiving the authorization, from a default controller of the vehicle.   
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 11 , further comprising:
 instructing an on-board device to perform a predetermined operation of the vehicle according to the authorization.   
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 12 , wherein the predetermined operation includes at least one of a turning on operation or a turning off operation. 
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the information is acquired by at least one on-board device of the vehicle. 
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the authorization assigns the electronic device with a higher control priority over the default controller. 
     
     
         16 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the vehicle is assigned to provide an online on-demand transportation service to a passenger. 
     
     
         17 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the predetermined condition is a state abnormality associated with the vehicle, wherein the state abnormality includes at least one of a GPS model abnormality, a location abnormality, or an environmental abnormality of the vehicle. 
     
     
         18 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein detecting the vehicle status further comprises comparing the information with at least one predetermined rule. 
     
     
         19 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the electronic device is a virtual reality device or an augmented reality device. 
     
     
         20 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
 receiving information associated with a vehicle;   detecting a vehicle status based on the information, the vehicle status indicative of a predetermined condition;   receiving an authorization for controlling the vehicle; and   taking control, upon detecting the vehicle status and receiving the authorization, from a default controller of the vehicle.
