Electronic Device Automatic Vehicle Application Initiation via Beacon
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices require manual initiation and take time to establish communication with vehicle systems, limiting the ability to automatically run vehicle applications when the vehicle is not started.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a communication unit and control unit that provides device identification information and conducts functions based on signals received from another device, allowing automatic execution of vehicle applications using beacons and context information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual initiation is used to start vehicle applications, then device complexity is reduced, but productivity decreases due to delayed service initiation
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by having the portable terminal send device identification information to the vehicle terminal in advance (when the vehicle is not running). This allows the vehicle application to be automatically executed without manual initiation when the vehicle starts, resolving the contradiction by preparing communication data beforehand to enable faster service initiation without adding complex real-time communication protocols.
2Productivity
If automatic execution of vehicle applications is implemented, then productivity improves, but device complexity increases due to additional communication protocols
Solution Approach 1:
Device identification information is transmitted in advance when the vehicle is not running, allowing the vehicle terminal to automatically execute applications without complex real-time negotiation protocols. This preliminary data exchange simplifies the communication protocol requirements while enabling automatic execution.
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle terminal automatically executes the vehicle application based on pre-received device identification information without requiring manual user initiation or complex interaction protocols. The system serves itself by automatically launching applications when vehicle start conditions are met, improving productivity while keeping communication protocols simple.
3Loss of time
If communication is established after vehicle start, then device complexity is minimized, but loss of time increases due to delayed service availability
Solution Approach 1:
Device identification information is exchanged in advance when the vehicle is not running, before the vehicle starts. This preliminary communication action eliminates the need for time-consuming communication establishment after vehicle start, reducing time loss without requiring complex continuous communication systems.
