1. A method for storing and transmitting data by using a vehicle key, the method comprising:
receiving, by the vehicle key while the vehicle key is in a first state in which the vehicle key has an established connection to an intelligent vehicle, first data from the intelligent vehicle, wherein the first data is data that has been classified by the intelligent vehicle as non-real-time processing data, wherein the first data comprises driving behavior analysis data, component life analysis data, user profile data, interest and preference data, and human machine interface interaction record data, and wherein the intelligent vehicle is configured for communicating data classified by the intelligent vehicle as real-time processing data directly with a cloud in real-time via a cellular network, wherein the real-time processing data includes real-time speed data, intelligent vehicle location data, real-time battery information data, fault alarm data, and speech instruction data, wherein the real-time battery information data includes temperature data, current data and voltage data;
storing, by the vehicle key, the first data;
automatically wirelessly accessing, by the vehicle key, an authenticated network environment via a wireless communications interface of the vehicle key without user intervention;
in response to wirelessly accessing the authenticated network environment, automatically sending, by the vehicle key while the vehicle key is in a second state in which the vehicle key has an established connection to the cloud, the first data to the cloud without user intervention;
receiving, by the vehicle key while the vehicle key is in the second state, second data from the cloud, wherein the second data is non-real-time processing data from the cloud comprising system upgrade data, wherein the system upgrade data comprises vehicle upgrade package data or knowledge base update data;
storing, by the vehicle key, the second data;
sending, by the vehicle key while the vehicle key is in the first state, the second data to the intelligent vehicle;
receiving, by the vehicle key, a first data reception confirmation from the intelligent vehicle or a second data reception confirmation from the cloud; and
after receiving the first data reception confirmation from the intelligent vehicle or second data reception confirmation from the cloud, clearing, by the vehicle key, the stored second data from the vehicle key;
wherein the method further comprises:
separately performing, by the vehicle key, identity authentication with the intelligent vehicle and with the cloud by using one or more secure sockets layer (SSL) bidirectional certificates for authentication and/or one or more usernames and passwords, wherein the identity authentication with the intelligent vehicle includes authenticating both an identity of the vehicle key and an identity of the intelligent vehicle;
and establishing, by the vehicle key, the connection to the intelligent vehicle and the connection to the cloud based on the identity authentications succeeding;
wherein the vehicle key is configured to open and close doors of the intelligent vehicle and to start the intelligent vehicle.
