Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for managing driver working hours and vehicle assignments lack real-time monitoring and control, making it difficult for companies to ensure driver safety and efficient dispatching.

Innovation Solution

A driver login system comprising a server and a device with an image pickup unit, image processing unit, and network communication unit that captures and processes images to identify drivers based on QR Codes or facial characteristics, comparing them with stored identity data to determine the current driver's status and transmit results back to the server.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If telecommunication devices (phones or walkie-talkie) are used for coordination between company and drivers, then communication is established, but real-time monitoring of driver situations and control of driver-car pairing is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time driver status informationVSAvoidmonitoring system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual telecommunication coordination with an automated image recognition system. The image pickup device captures driver images, the image processing unit extracts facial features, and the central processing unit automatically compares these features with registered driver data to identify the driver and determine working status, eliminating the need for phone-based manual coordination

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service driver identification and status monitoring. The driver login device autonomously performs image capture, processing, and comparison without requiring manual intervention from company personnel, thereby achieving real-time monitoring while keeping the system relatively simple

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Extent of automation

If manual coordination is used for driver-car pairing, then flexibility is maintained, but automated real-time control and monitoring are not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriver login automationVSAvoiddriver login operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual driver login and identification processes with automated image recognition technology. The system automatically captures images, processes facial features, compares them with registered data, and determines driver identity and working status without manual intervention, achieving high automation while maintaining ease of operation through contactless login

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A driver login device includes: a network communication unit in communication with the server via a network; an image pickup device capturing a target to obtain a login data; an image processing unit electrically coupled to the image pickup unit, and receiving and processing the login data to obtain a digital data; and a central processing unit electrically coupled to the network communication unit, the image pickup device and the image processing unit. The central processing unit, by way of the network communication unit, receives the data of the driver from the server via the network, controls the image pickup device to capture the target, comparing the digital data with the data of the driver to generate a comparing result, and by way of the network communication unit, transmitting the comparing result back to the server via the network.
