Automatic Positioning System for Vehicle Location Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Drivers face difficulties in locating their parked vehicles, especially in unfamiliar or large parking areas, due to the lack of efficient positioning systems.
Innovation Solution
An automatic positioning system installed in a mobile device, utilizing a GPS localizer and electronic map, detects the motion states of both the device and the vehicle, records the vehicle's location when parked, and provides navigation to the user for quick retrieval via a wireless connection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If no positioning system is installed, then the device complexity is low, but the user cannot quickly find the parked vehicle in unfamiliar or large parking areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mobile device as an intermediary between the vehicle and the user. The mobile device contains a positioning module that detects and records the vehicle's location, then provides navigation guidance to help users find their parked vehicles. This intermediary approach solves the location finding problem without requiring complex systems to be built into the vehicle itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning module automatically detects the vehicle's motion state and location without requiring manual user input. When the vehicle stops and the user leaves, the system automatically records the location and activates navigation functionality, providing self-service positioning and guidance capabilities.
2Loss of time
If a positioning system is installed to detect motion states and provide navigation, then the user can quickly find the parked vehicle, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning module performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting and recording the vehicle's location when the vehicle stops and the user leaves. This preliminary recording of location data eliminates the need for users to manually note the position, significantly reducing the time required to find parked vehicles later.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides continuous feedback through the navigation module, which guides users to their parked vehicles based on the recorded location data. The feedback mechanism includes directional guidance and location information, enabling users to quickly locate their vehicles without extensive searching.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides an automatic positioning system that is in a mobile device. The mobile device communicates with a vehicle. The system includes a first detection module, a second detection module and a positioning module. The first detection module detects the mobile device is in a moving state or a static state in real-time. The second detection module detects the vehicle is in a moving state or a static state in real-time. The positioning module acquires the location of the mobile device and records the acquired location as a position where the vehicle is parked in the mobile device, when the vehicle changes from the moving state to the static state, the mobile device changes from the static state to the moving state.
