Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle sharing systems fail to cater to individual user preferences and provide adequate security and convenience, leading to low satisfaction and inefficiencies in vehicle sharing services.
Innovation Solution
A fleet system utilizing edge computing for moving object sharing, enabling devices to search, authenticate, and control shared moving objects within a predetermined range, with data exchange protocols and authentication through edge computing nodes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a centralized cloud-based authentication system is used, then system security can be maintained, but authentication time and data processing delay increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the authentication system into edge nodes deployed at multiple locations (e.g., base stations, routers) rather than relying on a single centralized cloud server. Each edge node can perform authentication independently, enabling parallel processing and reducing authentication time while maintaining security through distributed verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces edge computing nodes as intermediary components between client devices and the centralized cloud server. These edge nodes perform preliminary authentication and data processing locally, acting as mediators that reduce the burden on the central server and minimize data transmission delays while maintaining security through verified edge node participation.
2Reliability
If more authentication nodes are deployed within a predetermined range, then authentication reliability and security improve, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs edge nodes to serve multiple functions: they perform authentication, provide data processing services, and act as communication relays. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated authentication servers and simplifies the overall system architecture while maintaining high authentication reliability through multiple nodes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-organizing edge nodes that can autonomously establish connections, perform authentication, and manage communications without requiring centralized control for each operation. Edge nodes automatically discover available nodes within their range and establish peer-to-peer connections, reducing system management complexity while maintaining authentication reliability.

AI summary
A moving object sharing service in a fleet system is provided. In a fleet system providing a moving object sharing service, the device searches for an available moving object, performs authentication for the moving object searched, and controls the moving object when the authentication is completed; and the authentication for the moving object is performed through the moving object and first nodes located within a predetermined range from the moving object.
