Publication number: 20230379676Abstract: An electronic device is located in a transportation means and includes an ECU, a first and a second short-distance wireless communication module, wherein between which a distance is a first distance. When no interference, the second short-distance wireless communication module receives a first message broadcast by the first short-distance wireless communication module. When interference, the second short-distance wireless communication module does not receive the first message, and sends a notification message to the ECU; and the ECU indicates the first short-distance wireless communication module to increase a transmit power until the second short-distance wireless communication module receives the first message. Therefore, the first message can be received only when a distance between a mobile device and the transportation means is less than or equal to the first distance, so as to send a first response message, so that the electronic device controls the transportation means to perform a specific function.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2021Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventor: Feng Zhong
