Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional remote controller is used, then the system can control locking mechanisms and ignition systems, but the functionality is limited and physical manipulation is required
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile telephone application serves multiple functions beyond traditional remote control, including lock/unlock commands, remote start, vehicle location tracking, and integration with onboard systems for climate control and entertainment, making a single device perform diverse functions that previously required multiple separate controllers
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces physical button manipulation on traditional remote controllers with touchscreen interface and voice command capabilities on mobile telephones, eliminating the need for physical contact with the remote control device while maintaining control functionality
2Ease of operation
If advanced interaction with onboard systems is added, then user convenience is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile telephone application acts as an intermediary between the user and the vehicle's onboard computer system, translating user commands into appropriate control signals while handling communication protocols and data formats, thus simplifying the user interface without requiring direct complex system integration
Solution Approach 2:
The single mobile telephone application provides unified access to multiple vehicle subsystems including security, propulsion, climate control, and entertainment systems, consolidating what would otherwise require multiple separate control devices or interfaces into one universal remote control solution
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables users to remotely control and interact with remote keyless systems, including locking/unlocking doors, starting engines, and managing vehicle electronics, while improving security through two-way authentication and reducing the need for physical controllers, enhancing user convenience and safety by disabling distracting phone functions while driving.
Implementation Method 1
the executable program uses the mobile telephone radio frequency transceivers to interact directly with and control an existing remote keyless system
Data Source
AI summary
A mobile telephone capable of controlling a remote keyless system is provided. The mobile telephone is loaded with an executable program that enables the mobile telephone to control the remote keyless system using frequencies and systems already used by the remote keyless system. The complex functionality a mobile telephone allows the executable program to fully control remote keyless systems.
