Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for operating moving objects, such as vehicles, lack efficient and secure data processing capabilities, particularly in edge computing environments, which can lead to delays and security vulnerabilities when processing data locally or relying on centralized servers.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for operating a moving object using edge computing, where data is processed through multiple identity devices that transmit and receive data to and from nodes, enabling local processing and reducing reliance on centralized servers, with the ability to change settings and status information based on processed data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If data is processed through centralized servers, then security is improved, but processing speed and responsiveness deteriorate due to transmission delays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidprocessing delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the centralized server architecture into distributed edge computing nodes deployed at cellular base stations. Data processing is divided between multiple edge nodes rather than a single centralized server, enabling local processing to reduce transmission delays while maintaining security through distributed authentication mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces identity devices as intermediaries between moving objects and edge computing nodes. These devices handle authentication and data transmission, enabling secure local processing at the edge without requiring direct connection to centralized servers, thus resolving the contradiction between security and processing speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If data is processed locally in the moving object, then processing speed is improved, but security and computational capability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing speedVSAvoiddata security
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The identity device acts as a secure intermediary that enables local processing at edge nodes while maintaining security through cryptographic authentication. The device verifies the identity of moving objects and authenticates data transmissions, allowing fast local processing without compromising security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary authentication and authorization actions through the identity device before data processing occurs at the edge node. This preliminary security verification enables subsequent fast local processing without requiring continuous connection to centralized servers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If multiple identity devices are deployed for edge computing, then data processing capability and security are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The identity device is designed as a universal multi-functional component that handles authentication, authorization, and secure data transmission across multiple edge computing nodes. This universality reduces overall system complexity by using a standardized device rather than requiring different specialized components for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A method of operating a moving object having a plurality of identity devices is provided. The method includes generating data in the moving object, transmitting first data of a plurality of data to a first node through a first identity device of the moving object and transmitting second data of the plurality of data to a second node through a second identity device of the moving object, receiving the first data from the first node and receiving the second data from the second node, and operating the moving object based on the first data and the second data.
