Abstract

A parking information transmission method and apparatus are provided, to resolve a prior-art problem of low parking efficiency. A first vehicle receives parking lot information from a server on a driving path to a destination, that is, a first parking lot, where the parking lot information includes an identifier of a second parking lot and a navigation route of the first vehicle to the second parking lot (S205). The first vehicle displays a prompt option, to prompt a user of the first vehicle that the first parking lot is congested and whether to change the destination to the second parking lot. The first vehicle detects an operation that the user chooses to change the destination to the second parking lot, and updates a displayed navigation route to the first parking lot to the navigation route to the second parking lot (S206). The parking lot information is received from the server. In this way, after arriving at the first parking lot, the vehicle does not wait for excessively long time due to congestion in the first parking lot. This can enhance parking efficiency of the vehicle, and improve user experience.

The apparatus (800) according to claim 6, further comprising: means for displaying a prompt option, wherein the prompt option is used to prompt a user whether to change the destination to the second parking lot.
The apparatus (800) according to claim 6 or 7, further comprising: means for receiving parking lot information from the server, wherein the parking lot information comprises one or more of the following: first estimated duration from an entrance of the first parking lot to a parking space; second estimated duration from a current location of the first vehicle to the entrance of the first parking lot; third estimated duration from an entrance of the second parking lot to a parking space; fourth estimated duration from the current location of the first vehicle to the entrance of the second parking lot; and a distance between the second parking lot and the first parking lot.
The apparatus (800) according to any one of claims 6 to 8, further comprising: means for sending congestion status information of the first parking lot to the server when determining that the first parking lot is congested.
A chip, wherein the chip is coupled to a memory in an electronic device, and is configured to perform the method according to any one of claims 1 to 5.
A computer program product, that includes a computer program, wherein when the computer program is run, a computer is enabled to perform the method according to any one of claims 1 to 5.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD Embodiments of this application relate to the field of internet of vehicles technologies, and in particular, to a parking information transmission method and apparatus. BACKGROUND Currently, with continuous increase of vehicle ownership, parking locations of parking lots in most areas (for example, enterprises, communities, and shopping malls) can hardly meet parking requirements of existing vehicles. A vehicle may drive to a destination but there is no idle parking space in the destination. Consequently, a vehicle owner can only spend a large amount of time in searching for another parking lot, and time and energy of the vehicle owner are seriously wasted. SUMMARY Embodiments of this application provide a parking information transmission method and apparatus, to resolve a prior-art problem of low parking efficiency. According to a first aspect, an embodiment of this application provides a parking information transmission method, applied to a first vehicle. The method may be performed by a terminal device that belongs to the first vehicle or a chip in the terminal device. The method includes: sending destination information to a server, where the destination information indicates that a destination of a first vehicle is a first parking lot; and receiving parking lot information from the server on a driving path of the first vehicle to the first parking lot, where the parking lot information includes an identifier of a second parking lot and a navigation route of the first vehicle to the second parking lot, and a first distance between the second parking lot and the first parking lot is not greater than a first threshold; displaying a prompt option, where the prompt option is used to prompt a user of the first vehicle that the first parking lot is congested and whether to change the destination to the second parking lot; and detecting an operation that the user chooses to change the destination to the second parking lot, and updating a displayed navigation route to the first parking lot to the navigation route to the second parking lot. According to the foregoing method, when receiving the parking lot information from the server, the first vehicle driving into the first parking lot may prompt the user that the first parking lot is congested and whether to change the destination to the second parking lot near the first parking lot. Therefore, when detecting the operation that the user chooses to change the destination to the second parking lot, the first vehicle updates the navigation route. In this way, after arriving at the first parking lot, the vehicle does not wait for excessively long time due to congestion in the first parking lot. This can enhance parking efficiency of the vehicle, and improve user experience. In a possible design, the method further includes: receiving parking lot information from the server, where the parking lot information includes one or more of the following: first estimated duration from an entrance of the first parking lot to a parking space; second estimated duration from a current location of the first vehicle to the entrance of the first parking lot; third estimated duration from an entrance of the second parking lot to a parking space; fourth estimated duration from the current location of the first vehicle to the entrance of the second parking lot; or a distance between the second parking lot and the first parking lot; and when displaying the prompt option, displaying prompt information, where the prompt information includes the parking lot information. According to the foregoing solution, when the prompt option is displayed, the user may be further prompted to estimate information such as arrival duration and a distance. In this way, the user can determine, based on the parking lot information, whether to change the destination to the second parking lot, improving user experience. In a possible design, the parking lot information further includes a recommendation priority of the first parking lot and a recommendation priority of the second parking lot. The recommendation priority indicates a recommendation level of the parking lot, and the recommendation priority is determined based on a congestion status and a parking space occupation status of the parking lot. According to the foregoing method, a difference in congestion degrees between the first parking lot and the second parking lot can be intuitively presented to the user, improving user experience. In a possible design, the method further includes: if an operation that the user chooses not to change the destination to the second parking lot is detected, when determining that the first parking lot is congested, sending congestion status information of the first parking lot to the server. According to the foregoing method, the first vehicle may still travel into the first parking lot when the user chooses not to change the destination to the second parking lot, and report the congestion status informa
