Vehicle Charging Content Delivery With Time-Based Service Authorization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle charging systems lack efficient utilization of downtime during charging sessions, failing to provide engaging and personalized content or services to occupants, and do not effectively manage vehicle service authorization and scheduling.
Innovation Solution
A system that determines the remaining charging time and transmits personalized content, such as entertainment or educational materials, based on this time, while also authorizing vehicle services through a decentralized blockchain system for quick and secure authentication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If content is transmitted during vehicle charging, then user engagement and entertainment value are improved, but system complexity and infrastructure requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
A server acts as an intermediary between the content delivery network and the vehicle's computing device. The server receives charging session information, determines appropriate content based on remaining charging time, and transmits it to the vehicle. This intermediary approach enables content delivery during charging without requiring complex integration between the charging infrastructure and entertainment systems, thus improving user engagement while managing system complexity.
2Loss of time
If charging time is utilized for content delivery, then loss of time is reduced, but measurement precision of charging time and content synchronization become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors charging session status and remaining time through feedback from the charging session information. The server receives real-time updates about the charging state, uses this feedback to determine current remaining time, and adjusts content transmission decisions accordingly. This feedback mechanism enables accurate time measurement and content synchronization despite variations in charging rates and session duration.
3Reliability
If blockchain is used for service authorization, then security and authentication speed are improved, but computational requirements and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
Blockchain-based service authorization is performed in advance during the charging session. Service providers submit authorization requests and the blockchain network validates and records permissions before the actual service is delivered. This preliminary action ensures secure authentication is completed beforehand, reducing real-time computational requirements and energy consumption during service delivery while maintaining high security standards.
