Communication Quality Mediation for Remote Vehicle Service Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for remote vehicle control services do not adequately account for communication quality between external service providers and destinations, leading to potential delays or interruptions that affect service execution.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that communicates with external service providers to receive requests for communication quality information, acquires this information from a database, and transmits it back to the providers to enable them to suitably control the service destination based on the quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If remote driving control is implemented between external service provider and vehicle, then external services can be provided, but communication delay or interruption occurs affecting service execution
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring communication quality information in advance from a database before providing external services. The information processing device retrieves communication quality data (such as delay characteristics, interruption rates) for specific regions and transmits this information to the external service provider beforehand, enabling the provider to prepare appropriate control strategies and mitigate potential communication issues before they affect service execution.
2Productivity
If communication quality information is provided to external service providers, then service control can be optimized, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary information processing device that acts as a mediator between the database and external service providers. This device simplifies the system architecture by centralizing the communication quality information management functions, including acquiring data from the database, processing the information, and transmitting it to multiple external service providers. The intermediary handles the complexity of information retrieval and distribution, allowing external service providers to receive ready-to-use communication quality information without implementing complex information gathering systems themselves.
