Recently, we learned through Qichacha APP that the patent for "Smart car-finding method, device, equipment and computer-readable storage medium" launched by OPPO (Chongqing) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. has been authorized. The publication number is CN110956845B. The information is as follows:

According to the patent summary of the company, the present invention obtains the current air pressure value of the user's current location through the mobile terminal; obtains the current floor air pressure value measured by the barometer of the vehicle parking floor; calculates based on the current air pressure value and the current floor air pressure value The relative altitude between the current location of the user and the floor where the vehicle is parked is sent to the mobile terminal for the user to search for a car according to the relative altitude. The air pressure value is detected by the mobile terminal and the barometer installed in the parking lot to obtain the relative altitude of the user position and the vehicle position according to the air pressure value, which improves the positioning accuracy in the Z-axis height direction in the process of finding a car in the parking lot.

According to Counterpoint's February 2021 global smartphone market share report, OPPO ranked fourth in the month, with a market share of 12%. It is worth noting that OPPO has previously published a number of automotive-related patents, which involve software and hardware: vehicle positioning methods, devices, vehicle positioning systems, vehicle ranging devices, ranging aspects, cameras and electronic equipment.

In April 2021, some media quoted OPPO’s internal employees as reporting that the company’s CEO, Chen Mingyong, intensively investigated the smart car industry chain and was preparing to build cars. OPPO did not respond to rumors of car building. But it is worth noting that as early as 2019, Chen Mingyong once publicly stated that even if he builds a car, he will focus on the areas that OPPO can do well. At present, they will not build cars. If automakers can't build cars well, OPPO will try it in the future if it has this strength.
