Solution Overview

Problem

The development of remote control functions for intelligent automobiles is inefficient, leading to high maintenance costs and complex system coupling, especially for traditional vehicle companies with significant functional differences between vehicle models and series.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle terminal remote control method and system that utilizes an internet-of-vehicles platform to receive application terminal instructions, determine device terminal instructions and target device terminals, and control vehicle terminals through a standardized software kit, reducing the need for separate development for each vehicle model.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If separate remote control functions are developed for each vehicle model, then functional differences between vehicle models are addressed, but development cost and development difficulty increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional differences between vehicle modelsVSAvoiddevelopment cost and development difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal remote control function set that can be applied across multiple vehicle models through a standardized software kit. The cloud platform provides a unified remote control function set that is not model-specific, allowing the same function set to control different vehicle models without requiring separate development for each model, thereby reducing development cost and complexity while maintaining adaptability through configuration rather than code changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If traditional app-vehicle cloud platform-vehicle terminal architecture is used, then remote control functionality is achieved, but maintenance cost increases and system coupling becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote control functionalityVSAvoidmaintenance cost and system coupling
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the remote control system into distinct modular components: a cloud platform module that provides the unified remote control function set, device terminal modules that receive instructions, and execution modules that perform actions. This segmentation decouples the system architecture, allowing independent maintenance and updates of each module without affecting the entire system, thereby reducing maintenance costs and system coupling complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The cloud platform serves as an intermediary layer between the application terminal and the device terminal, mediating the transmission of remote control instructions. This intermediary architecture standardizes the communication interface and data format, simplifying the overall system coupling while maintaining full remote control functionality across different vehicle models.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If remote control functions are customized for each vehicle model, then model-specific requirements are met, but labor cost increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel-specific functional requirementsVSAvoidlabor cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses parameter changes to adapt the unified remote control function set to different vehicle models. Instead of customizing code for each model, the system modifies configuration parameters, instruction sets, and mapping relationships between the cloud platform and device terminals. This allows model-specific requirements to be met through parameter configuration rather than software development, significantly reducing labor costs while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a vehicle terminal remote control method. The method is applied to an internet-of-vehicles platform, and includes: receiving an application terminal instruction sent by a first standard software kit of an application terminal; determining a device terminal instruction and a target device terminal corresponding to the application terminal instruction according to a target mapping relationship; sending the device terminal instruction to the target device terminal so as to control a second standard software kit in the target device terminal to determine a vehicle terminal control instruction corresponding to the device terminal instruction on the basis of an execution file in the target device terminal; and controlling a target controller in the target device terminal to execute a corresponding control operation according to the vehicle terminal control instruction. It is intended to lower the development cost and development difficulty for vehicle remote control.
