Vehicle Dispatch Interface for Selecting Autonomous Driving Cars
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle dispatch systems do not allow users to select autonomous driving vehicles as options, lacking the ability to determine if a selected vehicle is equipped with autonomous driving capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle dispatch system that includes a server and user device capable of communicating to store and display information about autonomous driving functions of registered vehicles, enabling users to select vehicles based on these features, with options including version information, override rate, continuity of autonomous driving, and authentication processes for verifying vehicle and user device combinations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the system provides a vehicle dispatch service without displaying autonomous driving function information, then the system operation is simple, but the user cannot determine whether a selected vehicle is an autonomous driving vehicle
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments information about autonomous driving functions into distinct display elements that are presented to users alongside vehicle listings. This allows the system to maintain simplicity while providing comprehensive information about autonomous driving capabilities, including presence/absence indicators and detailed function descriptions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary information display layer between the vehicle dispatch system and the user. This intermediary presents autonomous driving function information in a standardized format that bridges the gap between complex vehicle capabilities and user decision-making needs.
2Reliability
If the system displays detailed information about autonomous driving functions, then the user can make informed selections, but the information presentation becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different levels of autonomous driving information based on user needs and vehicle characteristics. The system displays basic presence/absence indicators for all vehicles, and provides detailed function information selectively, ensuring reliability without overwhelming complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes information presentation parameters by offering multiple display modes and detail levels. Users can adjust the amount and type of autonomous driving information displayed, allowing the system to maintain high reliability while adapting complexity to user preferences.
3Reliability
If the system adds authentication processes for vehicle and user device combinations, then the system security is improved, but the operational steps increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary authentication actions that verify vehicle and user device combinations before vehicle dispatch. By performing authentication in advance, the system ensures security while minimizing the impact on operational simplicity, as users complete verification before the main dispatch task.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables self-service authentication where the system automatically verifies vehicle and user device combinations without requiring manual intervention. This maintains high security while preserving operational simplicity, as the authentication process occurs transparently in the background.
