Power Storage Owner Notification via Distributed Accident Ledger
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle management systems fail to accurately inform the owner of a power storage device about accidents involving leased vehicles, leading to difficulties in compensation and damage assessment.
Innovation Solution
A management method and system that utilizes a data management device with a distributed ledger to track and notify the owner of a power storage device about accidents, facilitating communication between involved parties and enabling insurance benefits determination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a vehicle lease service is provided without a dedicated notification system for power storage device owners, then the system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but the loss of information occurs when accidents happen and the reliability of accident notification is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that receives accident information from vehicles and automatically notifies power storage device owners. This mediator handles the complex tasks of information management, owner identification via distributed ledger, and notification delivery, thereby preventing information loss without requiring direct complex systems in the vehicle or at the owner's end.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification system is segmented into distinct functional modules: accident information reception module, distributed ledger query module for owner identification, and notification delivery module. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, reducing overall system complexity while ensuring complete accident notification functionality.
2Reliability
If owner information is managed centrally without distributed ledger technology, then the device complexity is reduced, but the security and reliability of owner information management is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a distributed ledger as an intermediary data management system that securely stores and manages owner information. The ledger acts as a trusted mediator between the vehicle, server, and owner, ensuring reliable and secure owner identification without requiring complex centralized database management systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The distributed ledger creates immutable copies of owner information that are distributed across multiple nodes. This copying mechanism ensures data reliability and security without requiring complex centralized control, as each node holds a verified copy of the owner information.
Data Source
AI summary
A management method for managing a power storage device includes: when information indicating that an accident has occurred with regard to a target vehicle including a power storage device, obtaining first owner information indicating an owner of the power storage device from a data management device that manages information about a plurality of vehicles including the target vehicle; specifying the owner of the power storage device using the obtained first owner information; and providing, to a terminal of the specified owner of the power storage device, a notification that informs the occurrence of the accident of the target vehicle.
