Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle sharing systems fail to cater to individual user preferences, leading to dissatisfaction and security concerns due to inadequate control and management of shared vehicles.

Innovation Solution

A fleet system utilizing multiple identity devices for secure and personalized control of moving objects, allowing seamless sharing and management by transferring control authority between user identities, enabling personalized settings and secure authentication processes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If vehicle sharing systems are implemented, then vehicle utilization and accessibility are improved, but user satisfaction and security are deteriorated due to inadequate control and management

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevehicle sharing accessibilityVSAvoidvehicle security and control

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments control authority into different levels: owner control, renter control, and fleet manager control. Each identity device (owner device, renter device) receives specific control permissions based on their role, allowing simultaneous vehicle sharing and security maintenance through distributed control segments.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If control authority is transferred to renters, then ease of operation is improved, but security and management control are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:

Improverenter control convenienceVSAvoidowner control security

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The control authority is dynamic and transferable. The owner device can transfer control to the renter device when the vehicle is handed over, and automatically or manually reclaim control when the rental period ends. This dynamic control mechanism enables convenient renter operation while preserving owner security through controlled authority transitions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple identity devices are used for sharing, then adaptability and service quality are improved, but system complexity is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepersonalized sharing serviceVSAvoidcontrol system structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fleet manager device and identity devices serve multiple functions: authentication, control authority management, setting configuration, and communication coordination. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components, managing system complexity while enabling personalized sharing services through a unified multi-functional platform.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A method of providing a moving object sharing service using a plurality of identity devices includes controlling a moving object based on a first identity device, transferring control authority of the moving object to a second identity device when the second identity device is recognized in the moving object, and controlling the moving object based on the second identity device. The first identity device corresponds to a first user who provides sharing of the moving object, and the second identity device corresponds to a second user who uses the moving object shared by the first user.
