Mobile Device Matching for Multi-Vehicle Information Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face difficulties in adjusting the relationship between devices used by a user and those mounted on mobile objects, such as vehicles, when multiple devices are involved, leading to challenges in communication and coordination.
Innovation Solution
An information management device and method that includes a processor to acquire and match devices, receive user designations for switching targets, and adjust information provision based on user operations, providing virtual displays and audio adjustments to enhance realism.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a device used by a user can communicate with a plurality of first devices mounted on a plurality of mobile objects, then the versatility and connectivity of the system is improved, but it becomes difficult to adjust the relationship between the device used by the user and a specific first device mounted on a mobile object
Solution Approach 1:
The information management device serves as an intermediary between the user's second device and multiple first devices mounted on mobile objects. It centralizes the matching logic and provides a unified interface for the user to select and switch between different first devices, thereby simplifying the operation of adjusting relationships despite having multiple connectivity options.
2Ease of operation
If the system automatically matches devices without user intervention, then the ease of operation is improved, but the user cannot precisely control which first device should be matched with their second device
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the matching relationship between the user's second device and first devices based on real-time user input. The information management device receives designation information from the user and updates the matching target accordingly, allowing flexible control while maintaining ease of use through automated matching mechanisms.
3Productivity
If the system maintains multiple simultaneous connections between the user's device and various first devices, then the information provision capability is improved, but the complexity of managing these connections increases
Solution Approach 1:
The information management device segments the connection management function by maintaining a dedicated matching relationship between the user's second device and selected first devices. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple potential connections efficiently while presenting a simplified, managed interface for the user to interact with specific device pairings.

AI summary
An information management device for managing information provided to a plurality of first devices mounted on a mobile object that an occupant boards and a second device used by a user at a location different from the mobile object includes a processor, and the processor is configured to execute a program to acquire information from the plurality of first devices and the second device, match any one of the plurality of first devices with the second device, receive a designation of the user for setting any one of the plurality of first devices as a matching target of the second device, and switch the matching target of the second device when a designation of the user for setting any one of the plurality of first devices as the matching target of the second device already matched with the first device is received.
