Solution Overview

Problem

Existing connected vehicle services face inconvenience and errors due to the need for frequent server updates when new vehicle models are released, and difficulties in recognizing setting values during the update process.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that allow a server to recognize setting values without updating the data set for each new vehicle model by determining whether user information is recognizable and storing it as a new data set only when the information is unrecognizable and received multiple times.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the server data set is updated with each new vehicle model, then the connected service can recognize setting values for new models, but the update process becomes frequent and error-prone

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveRecognition of setting values for new vehicle modelsVSAvoidStability of server update process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The server performs preliminary recognition of user information before storing it as a new data set. By checking whether received user information matches existing data sets in advance, the server可以避免频繁更新并减少更新错误,同时仍能识别新车型的设置值

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the server determines whether received user information is recognizable and provides feedback on whether to store it as a new data set. This feedback loop enables the server to adapt to new vehicle models while maintaining system stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If the server stores user information as a new data set frequently, then new vehicle models are supported, but the system complexity and update overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveSupport for new vehicle modelsVSAvoidServer data set management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server performs preliminary recognition of user information before storing it as a new data set. By checking whether received user information matches existing data sets in advance, the server可以减少不必要的数据集创建,从而降低系统复杂性和更新开销

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of data set creation from 'every new vehicle model' to 'only when user information is unrecognizable and received multiple times'. This parameter change reduces server data set management complexity while maintaining support for new vehicle models

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A system for providing a connected service includes a portable device and a vehicle terminal. User information is input into the portable device and the vehicle terminal, and a server receives the user information from one or more of the portable device and the terminal and determines whether the received user information is recognizable. The server further determines whether to store the user information as a new data set based on the number of times the user information is received in response to determining that the user information is unrecognizable. The system reduces inconvenience since a data set including attributes of setting functions is not updated every time for a new vehicle model, and allows a user to conveniently use the connected service when necessary since an occurrence of an error during an update process is prevented.
