Heterogeneous Fleet Interlinking for Cross-System Vehicle Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack the ability to efficiently interlink heterogeneous fleet systems, preventing seamless sharing and management of shared moving objects across different fleet systems, especially when a user is not registered to the specific system.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a computing device facilitates interlinking between heterogeneous fleet systems by allowing a first fleet system to request and receive a list of available moving objects from a second fleet system, based on user requests, using messages that incorporate location, type, history, preference, and rating information, enabling the allocation of moving objects across different systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple heterogeneous fleet systems operate independently, then each system can manage its own moving objects efficiently, but users cannot access or use moving objects from other fleet systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a message transmission mechanism as an intermediary between heterogeneous fleet systems. The first fleet system sends use inquiry messages to the second fleet system, which responds with available moving object lists. This intermediary communication protocol enables cross-system access without requiring deep integration or complexity in either system's core architecture.
2Ease of operation
If a user is restricted to only their registered fleet system, then system management is simplified, but user convenience and service coverage are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal message transmission mechanism that enables the first fleet system to inquire about and access moving objects from the second fleet system. This multi-functional communication protocol allows users to search, reserve, and use moving objects across different fleet systems while maintaining each system's operational simplicity and management structure.
3Productivity
If moving objects are concentrated in one region to improve management efficiency, then management becomes easier, but the distribution and accessibility of moving objects across different areas deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds a cross-system dimension to moving object accessibility. Instead of physically distributing moving objects across all regions, the system enables virtual access across fleet system boundaries. Users can access moving objects from the second fleet system even when located in regions where only the first fleet system operates, effectively expanding service coverage without physical redistribution.

AI summary
A method for interlinking heterogeneous fleet systems implemented by a computing device includes: receiving a use request for a moving object from a user device belonging to a first fleet system; transmitting a use inquiry message to a second fleet system when the use request includes a use of a moving object the second fleet system; transmitting a second available moving object list corresponding to the use inquiry message to the first fleet system when the second fleet system permits the moving object to be used; and transmitting to the user device with a final moving object list including a moving object that belongs to at least one of the second available moving object list or a first available moving object list in the first fleet system according to the use request.
