In-Vehicle Electronic Device Multi-User Data Collection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current in-vehicle electronic devices can only acquire personal data of the driver, limiting convenience when multiple individuals are present in a vehicle.
Innovation Solution
An in-vehicle electronic device with an input unit for acquiring personal IDs, an in-vehicle control unit connected to a memory holding data collection conditions for each ID, and an in-vehicle communication unit that logs in to a server to collect personal data for multiple users based on set conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the in-vehicle electronic device is designed to acquire personal data only for the driver, then the system complexity is reduced and authentication is simplified, but the convenience and adaptability for multiple users are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments user identification by introducing personal IDs that can be input through the input unit. Each personal ID represents a distinct user, allowing the system to differentiate between multiple users (driver and passengers) and retrieve their respective personal data from the server independently
Solution Approach 2:
The in-vehicle electronic device is designed with universal functionality to handle multiple user types. The input unit accepts various forms of personal IDs, the in-vehicle control unit processes authentication for any user, and the system can retrieve personal data for any seated individual, making the device adaptable to different usage scenarios
2Ease of operation
If the system collects personal data for multiple users, then user convenience is enhanced, but the authentication process and data management complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
Users perform self-authentication by inputting their own personal IDs through the input unit. Each user independently provides their identification, and the in-vehicle control unit automatically handles the authentication process with the server, eliminating the need for manual intervention or complex authentication protocols
Solution Approach 2:
Personal data is pre-stored on the server for multiple users before they enter the vehicle. When users input their personal IDs, the system quickly retrieves their pre-stored personal data from the server, avoiding the need for real-time data generation or complex processing during the authentication moment

AI summary
The present invention relates to an in-vehicle electronic device and a data collection system including the same, and has an object to enhance the convenience. In order to achieve this object, the present invention includes: an input unit for a personal ID; an in-vehicle control unit connected to the input unit; and an in-vehicle transmission unit and an in-vehicle reception unit connected to the in-vehicle control unit. The in-vehicle control unit is connected to a memory that records therein a data collection condition set for each personal ID. If a personal ID is inputted to the input unit, data of a person associated with the personal ID can be collected from a server. With this configuration, pieces of data of a plurality of persons who are in the same automobile can be collected from the server.
