Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing in-vehicle multimedia systems fail to efficiently set the correct external device to execute an interworking function, prioritizing devices connected via USB over those connected via wireless communication methods, leading to user inconvenience when multiple devices are connected.
Innovation Solution
The system detects the number of connected external devices and displays a pop-up window to allow users to select the default device for interworking functions, regardless of connection methods, ensuring that the user's intended device is set as the default for executing the interworking function.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If USB connection priority is given over wireless connection for interworking function, then device connection management is simplified, but user intention is not respected when multiple devices are connected
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts device priority based on connection state. When only one device is connected, it automatically becomes the default device. When multiple devices are connected, the system transitions from automatic priority assignment to user-selectable priority, allowing the interworking function to be executed based on user intention rather than fixed connection type priority.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides visual feedback through a pop-up window that displays connected devices and allows user selection. This feedback mechanism informs users of the current connection state and enables them to specify which device should execute the interworking function, resolving the contradiction between simplified management and accurate user intention recognition.
2Speed
If automatic device selection is performed without user input, then system response speed is improved, but incorrect device execution occurs when multiple devices are connected
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts its device selection process based on the number of connected devices. When a single device is connected, automatic selection occurs immediately without user input, maintaining fast system response. When multiple devices are connected, the system transitions to a user selection mode that displays a pop-up window, ensuring accurate device selection while maintaining reasonable response speed.
3Device complexity
If connection type-based priority (USB over wireless) is implemented, then device management complexity is reduced, but adaptability to user needs is decreased
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts its device management approach based on connection state. With single device connection, simple automatic assignment maintains low complexity. With multiple device connections, the system introduces user-selectable default device functionality, increasing adaptability to user needs while managing complexity through context-aware behavior changes.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for efficiently setting an external device to execute an interworking function in an in-vehicle multimedia system and a method for performing the same are provided. The method includes connecting at least one external device to the in-vehicle multimedia system and then detecting a number of connected external devices. Upon detecting that the number of connected external devices is one, the one external device is set as a default device to execute the interworking function. Upon detecting judging that the number of connected external devices is multiple, a pop-up window is displayed to select one of the plurality of external devices on a display, and the external device selected through the pop-up window is set as the default device.
