Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for providing driving mode information to authorities, such as police, may inadvertently share this information with third parties, potentially leading to interference with autonomous driving systems.

Innovation Solution

A method utilizing V2X communication to accurately provide driving mode information only to specific, authenticated terminals, such as police monitoring systems, while ensuring that driver action conditions are met to prevent unauthorized access.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If driving mode information is provided to police monitoring terminals, then police can regulate driver behavior and reduce traffic accidents, but third parties may also access this information and interfere with autonomous driving systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriver behavior regulationVSAvoidthird party interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary authentication mechanism that mediates between the autonomous driving system and external terminals. The system verifies whether requesting terminals are authorized police monitoring terminals before providing driving mode information, thus preventing unauthorized third parties from accessing the information while allowing legitimate police access for driver behavior regulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different access control policies to different terminals based on their authentication status. Authorized police monitoring terminals receive driving mode information while other terminals are denied access. This localized quality control ensures that information is provided only where needed and authorized, preventing widespread third party interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If driving mode information is provided to all terminals, then information accessibility is maximized, but security and authorization control are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidauthorization control
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

An authentication intermediary layer is introduced between information requests and the autonomous driving system. This intermediary verifies terminal identities and authorization levels, enabling the system to adaptively provide information to authorized terminals while maintaining security control, thus resolving the contradiction between accessibility and security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts information provision based on real-time authentication results. Rather than a static all-or-nothing approach, the system evaluates each request individually, providing information to authenticated police terminals while denying access to unauthorized terminals, thus achieving both accessibility and authorization control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A method for providing driving mode information and a device using the same are provided. The method includes acquiring a request for driving mode information of a host vehicle from a monitoring terminal outside the host vehicle. The method also includes checking the driving mode information corresponding to the host vehicle. The method additionally includes determining whether driver action conditions corresponding to the driving mode information are satisfied based on driver state information of the host vehicle. The method further includes providing at least some of the driving mode information to the monitoring terminal based on the determination result.
