Movable Body Form Changing Unit for User Personalization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing movable body systems do not adapt their form, such as color or shape, to accommodate the preferences or needs of multiple users, limiting personalized experiences in shared mobility services.
Innovation Solution
A movable body system that includes an acquisition unit to gather user identification information and a form changing unit to modify the vehicle's exterior and interior appearance based on this information, utilizing a server device to transmit and receive setting information for customizable features like color, seat position, and lighting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the movable body uses a fixed form design, then the manufacturing cost and device complexity are reduced, but the adaptability to different user preferences deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The movable body employs dynamic form-changing capabilities through actuators that can adjust the vehicle body's shape, color, and patterns in real-time based on user preferences. This allows a single movable body to adapt to different users without requiring multiple fixed-design vehicles, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes physical parameters of the movable body such as color, shape, and surface patterns through controllable form-changing elements. By modifying these parameters dynamically rather than manufacturing different fixed designs, the system achieves high adaptability while maintaining relatively simple device architecture.
2Ease of operation
If the movable body provides personalized form changes for each user, then the user experience and satisfaction are improved, but the time required for form adjustment and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
User preferences and identification information are registered in advance in the server database before actual use. When a user approaches the movable body, the system automatically retrieves pre-stored preference data and applies the corresponding form changes, eliminating the need for real-time preference input and reducing adjustment time.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable body autonomously performs form changes based on automatic user identification through recognition units. The system self-adjusts its appearance without requiring manual intervention from the user, thereby reducing the time and effort needed for personalization while improving ease of operation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple movable bodies are provided with different fixed designs for different users, then the adaptability to user preferences is improved, but the manufacturing cost and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
A single movable body is designed to serve multiple users by incorporating form-changing capabilities that allow it to adapt its appearance and characteristics to match different user preferences. This universal design eliminates the need to manufacture and maintain multiple fixed-design movable bodies, thereby reducing resource consumption while maintaining high adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of manufacturing separate physical assets for different users, the system discards the concept of fixed permanent designs and recovers resources by using a single adaptable movable body that can be reconfigured for different users, thereby reducing overall material consumption and manufacturing costs.

AI summary
Provided is a movable system including a movable body to be used by a plurality of users, and a server device. When the server device receives identification information of a user from the movable body, the server device acquires setting information to set the form of the movable body based on the identification information of the user and transmits it to the movable body. The movable body includes a form changing unit configured to change the outer shape or the appearance of the movable body based on the setting information thus received.
