Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle security systems lack a user-friendly method for establishing and managing personalized settings and efficient user authentication, often relying on key transmitters that may not be specifically associated with individual users.
Innovation Solution
A management system that authenticates users through a control module using unique user identifications, allowing selection of features such as speed limitations and restraint alerts, and provides a user interface for creating and modifying profiles, enabling authentication via various methods like biometrics, PINs, or smart devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If key transmitters are used to identify users, then vehicle access control is achieved, but user-specific personalization and authentication efficiency are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the identification function by separating the key transmitter (access control) from user identification (authentication). Multiple identification methods are divided into distinct categories: biometric sensors (fingerprint, facial recognition), mobile device communications (Bluetooth, NFC), and traditional key transmitters. Each method operates independently but contributes to the overall authentication process, allowing flexible combination without increasing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The control module is designed with multi-functionality to handle diverse identification methods through a unified authentication framework. The same control module processes biometric data, mobile device signals, and key transmitter codes using consistent logic for profile association and feature application. This universal approach eliminates the need for separate processing systems for each identification method.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple user profiles with customized features are implemented, then personalization capability is improved, but system complexity and management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
User profiles are pre-configured with default feature sets during system initialization or previous usage sessions. Commonly used features are automatically assigned based on user behavior patterns, reducing the manual configuration burden. The system performs preliminary authentication checks and profile loading in advance of actual vehicle operation, streamlining the user experience while managing complexity through automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to self-manage their profiles through intuitive interfaces that allow easy modification of features, preferences, and associated identification methods. Users can add, remove, or adjust profile characteristics without requiring technical assistance or complex configuration procedures. The system automatically updates and applies changes in real-time, making profile management as simple as adjusting standard vehicle settings.
3Measurement precision
If user authentication is decoupled from key transmitters, then user identification accuracy is improved, but authentication time and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs periodic polling and proactive authentication checks rather than waiting for explicit user input. Biometric sensors continuously monitor for presence (facial recognition, fingerprint detection) while mobile device communications maintain periodic Bluetooth or NFC connections. This periodic action allows the system to pre-validate identification data and have user profiles ready before the vehicle is actually accessed, reducing perceived authentication time while maintaining high accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
Authentication data is pre-processed and validated before the actual authentication event. Biometric templates are stored and compared in advance, mobile device permissions are pre-configured, and profile associations are established beforehand. When authentication is triggered, the system performs rapid comparison against pre-prepared data sets rather than processing raw data in real-time, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining precision.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method for authenticating a user and creating and applying a user profile may include authenticating an administrator via an administrator identification. A user identification distinct from the administrator identification may be received, as well as a set of selected features associated with the user. A profile may be created and may include the user identification and the set of selected features. The profile may be applied in response to authenticating a user based on the user identification.
