The preset time interval may be a default value in the DCM server, and may also be set by the user in the in-vehicle device 200 according to own demand. Specifically, the DCM server 230 can push the latest CAN message data information to the information station 220 at preset time intervals, and the information station 220 pushes the latest CAN message data information to the mobile terminal 100. The mobile terminal 100 updates the original CAN message data information in the mobile terminal 100. Thus, when the user needs to check the information in the mobile terminal 100, the user can view the latest data information.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the information processing system for a car further includes a cloud server 300. In an embodiment, the cloud server 300 is used for receiving the vehicle condition information uploaded by the mobile terminal 100, and storing the vehicle condition information. In an embodiment, after the mobile terminal 100 receives the current vehicle condition information of the car sent by the information station 200, it is also feasible to upload the received vehicle condition information to the cloud server 300 through 3rd-generation (3G), Wireless Fidelity (Wifi) and other wireless networks, to make the cloud server 300 save the received vehicle condition information in a database of the cloud server. Thus, when the user needs to check history data information of the car, the user may send a request to the cloud server 300, and then download history vehicle condition information from the cloud server 300. In addition, a manufacturer may also analyze and process the vehicle condition information of the car stored in the cloud server 300 to timely find concentration points of product problems and the user's experience feeling, helping to improve the quality of the product.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the cloud server 300 is further used for receiving the CAN message data information uploaded from the DCM server 230, and storing the CAN message data information. In an embodiment, after the DCM server 230 is generating CAN message data information according to the acquired vehicle condition information, the DCM server 230 may also upload the CAN message data information to the cloud server 300 through a built-in 3G or other wireless communication module, and the cloud server 300 may store the received CAN message data information in the database of the cloud server. Thus, when it is needed to check the history data information of the car, the user may send a request to the cloud server 300, and then download the history CAN message data information from the cloud server 300.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the cloud server 300 is further used for receiving login information sent by the mobile terminal 100, authenticating the login information, and when the authentication is passed, sending stored history vehicle condition information to the mobile terminal 100.

In an embodiment, the user may fill in information related to the owner or the vehicle during registration, and if the related information filled in by the user is not consistent with the information stored in the cloud server 300, the cloud server 300 prompts that user registration is not successful. After the user successfully registers, the user may enter login information to perform a login operation when opening an application on the mobile terminal 100, in other words, the cloud server 300 needs to authenticate the identity of the user. If the cloud server 300 determines that the user is an authorized user, the cloud server 300 prompts that the user successfully logs in. After the user logs in to the application, the mobile terminal 100 downloads corresponding history vehicle condition information from the cloud server 300, and loads the history vehicle condition information for the user to check. Thus, not only can security be improved to ensure that the user's privacy information is not leaked, but also personalized data from the user and potential users can be acquired, and information of user groups can be better obtained.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal 100 encrypts the query instruction and then sends the encrypted query instruction to the information station via the communication module 210 of the in-vehicle device. The information station 200, after receiving the query instruction, decrypts the query instruction, if it is determined that the user is an authorized user, acquires the vehicle condition information of the car according to the query instruction, and sends the acquired vehicle condition information to the mobile terminal 100 through the communication module 210. Specifically, before sending a query instruction of requesting CAN message data information to the information station 220, the mobile terminal 100 may encrypt the query instruction and user registration information through an encryption algorithm, where the existing method may be used as the encryption algorithm, which is not described in detail herein. The information station 220, after receiving the encrypted query instruction and user registration information, may decrypt them, and after it is determined that the user is an authorized user, sends the acquired vehicle condition information to the mobile terminal 100. Thus, the security can be further improved, to prevent the user privacy information from being leaked.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the cloud server 300 is further used for analyzing the vehicle condition information, to acquire state management information of the car, and pushing the state management information to the mobile terminal 100. Specifically, the cloud server 300 calculates and analyzes the vehicle condition information, to obtain analysis results such as whether the parts of the car fail or need to be replaced and the like, and then pushes the analysis results as state management information of the car to the mobile terminal 100. Thus, the user can know vehicle information of the car more timely and conveniently, and by calculating and analyzing vehicle condition information of the user, personalized, accurate and intelligent information pushing and service promotion for the user can be achieved.
By using the information processing system for a car according to the embodiment of the present invention, a user can send a query instruction in real time through a communication module, acquire vehicle condition information of the car, or receive vehicle condition information pushed by an information station in real time. Thus, it is easy for the user to know the state of the vehicle in real time, so that the user can control the vehicle information more conveniently, and user experience is improved.
