Mobile Controller Vehicle Remote Control Image Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote control systems for motor vehicles lack secure authentication and real-time monitoring, leading to potential accidental or unintended vehicle movements.
Innovation Solution
A method using a mobile controller that establishes a wireless connection with the vehicle, transmits vehicle images or video for identification, and performs plausibility tests on remote control commands to ensure secure execution, with continuous verification and feedback to the operator.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If remote control commands are transmitted without image verification, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to potential accidental or unintended vehicle movements
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by capturing an image of the vehicle and verifying its presence in the operator's field of vision before executing the remote control command. This preliminary verification step ensures that the vehicle is properly positioned and visible to the operator before any control action is taken, preventing accidental or unintended movements while maintaining ease of operation.
2Reliability
If image processing and vehicle identification are implemented, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by transmitting the captured image to the vehicle and receiving confirmation whether the vehicle identifies itself in the image. This feedback mechanism provides reliable authentication without requiring complex on-board image processing hardware in the vehicle, as the processing can be performed by the mobile controller and the vehicle only needs to communicate identification status.
3Reliability
If continuous video monitoring is implemented, then reliability is improved, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs periodic action by capturing images at specific intervals or triggered by command transmission events, rather than continuous video monitoring. This approach maintains reliable supervision of the vehicle's presence and operator visibility while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous streaming, as images are captured only when necessary for verification.

AI summary
A method for the remote control of at least one function of a motor vehicle by means of a mobile controller involves a remote control command transmitted to the motor vehicle and executed by the motor vehicle if an approval has been issued. The method provides a remote control system that has a particularly high level of reliability, which is achieved by detecting an image of the motor vehicle by an optical detection device in the mobile controller is transmitted to the motor vehicle, and the approval is then issued by a checking device in the motor vehicle if the motor vehicle has been identified in the transmitted image by the checking device.
