1. A remote automobile diagnostic method, the method being applicable to a device side, the device side being in communication connection with a to-be-diagnosed automobile, and the method comprising:
transmitting a first connection request signal to a target terminal to establish a remote connection to the target terminal, the target terminal being any intelligent terminal having an automobile fault diagnosis function;
acquiring parameter information of the to-be-diagnosed automobile, and transmitting the parameter information to the target terminal, so that the target terminal diagnoses the to-be-diagnosed automobile according to the parameter information;
transmitting a second connection request signal to an operating terminal to establish a remote connection to the operating terminal, the operating terminal being configured to remotely control the device side; and
receiving a control signal transmitted by the operating terminal, and performing a diagnosis action corresponding to the control signal, so that the operating terminal controls the device side according to the control signal;
acquiring diagnosis data during a remote diagnosis of the to-be-diagnosed automobile by the target terminal according to the parameter information within a preset time period, and determining whether the target terminal is capable of completing the remote diagnosis of the to-be-diagnosed automobile according to the diagnosis data, the diagnosis data includes a network delay value and a diagnostic communication protocol followed by the to-be-diagnosed automobile;
receiving a diagnosis result fed back by the target terminal if the target terminal is capable of completing the remote diagnosis of the to-be-diagnosed automobile, so that the target terminal completes the remote diagnosis of the to-be-diagnosed automobile; and
disconnecting the remote connection with the target terminal if the target terminal is incapable of completing the remote diagnosis of the to-be-diagnosed automobile, and the device side is controlled by the operating terminal to perform remote diagnosis on the to-be-diagnosed automobile.
