Solution Overview

Problem

The existing Bluetooth connection methods for vehicles are inconvenient as they require manual user acceptance for personal information transmission, leading to unnecessary steps and potential privacy concerns during the pairing and data transfer process.

Innovation Solution

A control method and apparatus that establish a wired connection between a vehicle's AVN system and a terminal, using a specific application to automatically execute wireless connection and request user agreement for personal information transmission, thereby simplifying the process and securing user consent.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual Bluetooth connection method is used, then user can control personal information transmission, but connection process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser control over personal informationVSAvoidconnection process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically establishing Bluetooth connection and requesting personal information transmission before user intervention. The AVN system proactively initiates the connection process, searches for the terminal, and requests phonebook information without waiting for manual user confirmation at each step, thereby simplifying the operation while maintaining user control through final approval authority.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If automatic wireless connection is established, then convenience is improved, but user acceptance process for personal information transmission is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection processVSAvoiduser consent for data transmission
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring and confirming user acceptance status throughout the automatic connection process. After automatically establishing Bluetooth connection and requesting personal information, the system waits for and processes user confirmation before proceeding with data transmission. This feedback mechanism ensures user consent is obtained while maintaining the convenience of automatic connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If multiple manual steps are required for Bluetooth pairing and data transmission, then user privacy is protected, but transmission time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprivacy protectionVSAvoidconnection and data transmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically completing Bluetooth pairing, device search, and connection establishment before user confirmation. Only the final personal information transmission step requires user approval, allowing most time-consuming operations to be automated in advance while maintaining privacy protection through final user authorization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
