Mobile Information Sharing for Remote Boarding Presence Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional technologies fail to provide a sufficient sense of presence for both occupants of a mobile object and users at a different location, affecting their visibility and safety, and do not contribute effectively to sustainable transportation systems.
Innovation Solution
An information management device that acquires and provides information, including indoor and outdoor images and voice, between a first device on a mobile object and a second device at a different location, allowing for simulated boarding experiences and managing fees based on availability and user requests.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If information is shared between mobile object and remote device, then sense of presence is improved, but information security and privacy control become more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments information into multiple categories (image information, voice information, sensor information) and applies different provision availability settings to each category. This allows granular control over what information is shared, resolving the contradiction by enabling comprehensive sharing while maintaining security through structured segmentation of information types and their access permissions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality control by allowing different provision availability settings for different types of information (e.g., indoor images vs. outdoor images, voice information vs. sensor data). Each information type can have its own privacy and security parameters, enabling tailored control that improves presence where appropriate while maintaining security where needed.
2Reliability
If multiple types of information are provided to enhance user experience, then sense of presence is improved, but data transmission and processing load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic information provision where the provision availability is not fixed but can be changed based on various conditions including user requests, occupant settings, and situational context. This dynamic approach allows the system to transmit only necessary information at any given time, reducing energy consumption while maintaining presence when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes parameters such as information type, provision availability, and transmission priority based on user needs and system conditions. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system optimizes the balance between providing sufficient information for presence and minimizing data transmission energy consumption.
3Reliability
If real-time information sharing is implemented, then user safety and visibility are improved, but system response time and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where user requests and occupant responses are processed in real-time to dynamically adjust information provision. This feedback loop ensures that safety-critical information is provided promptly while allowing non-critical information to be processed asynchronously, optimizing the balance between real-time response and processing efficiency.

AI summary
An information management device according to the embodiment is an information management device that manages information provided to a first device mounted on a mobile object on which an occupant boards and a second device used by a user at a location different from the mobile object, and includes an acquirer configured to acquire information from the first device and the second device, and a provider configured to provide each of the first device and the second device with information based on the information acquired, in which the information acquired by the first device includes an indoor image of the mobile object, an outdoor image, and indoor voice information of the mobile object, and the provider provides the second device with information set to be available among the indoor image, the outdoor image, and the indoor voice information based on provision availability information set by the occupant.
