Solution Overview

Problem

Existing moving body control systems face high processing loads when executing remote instruction verification on the moving body, and unnecessary communication occurs when the management system determines the validity of remote instructions, leading to inefficiencies in determining unauthorized access.

Innovation Solution

A moving body control system that includes a management system and a control device on the moving body, where the control device performs a first verification process to detect unauthorized activation suspicions and requests a second verification process from the management system using different criteria, ensuring efficient determination of unauthorized activation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the moving body executes the remote instruction verification process, then the security against unauthorized activation is improved, but the processing load on the moving body increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity against unauthorized activationVSAvoidprocessing load on moving body
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The verification process is segmented into two distinct parts: a first verification process executed by the control device on the moving body, and a second verification process executed by the management system. This segmentation distributes the verification burden, allowing the moving body to perform only preliminary checks while the more computationally intensive final determination is performed by the management system, thus reducing processing load while maintaining security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The management system acts as an intermediary that performs the final determination of unauthorized activation suspicions. When the control device detects a suspicion, it transmits information to the management system, which then performs the second verification process and returns the final determination result, effectively mediating the verification burden away from the moving body

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If the management system executes the remote instruction verification process, then the processing load on the moving body is reduced, but unnecessary communication occurs between the moving body and management system

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing load on moving bodyVSAvoidunnecessary communication time
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The control device performs preliminary verification actions locally before contacting the management system. By executing the first verification process to detect unauthorized activation suspicions and only then transmitting information to the management system when needed, the system avoids unnecessary communication while ensuring security checks are performed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The control device performs self-verification through the first verification process, independently detecting suspicious activation patterns without requiring constant communication with the management system. This self-service capability reduces unnecessary communication while maintaining security, as the moving body can identify and report only genuine suspicions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If the control device performs comprehensive verification, then the detection accuracy of unauthorized activation is improved, but the processing load on the moving body increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracy of unauthorized activationVSAvoidprocessing load on control device
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The verification process is divided into two stages with different accuracy requirements: the first verification process performs preliminary detection of suspicious patterns, and the second verification process performed by the management system provides final accurate determination. This segmentation allows high detection accuracy without overburdening the control device, as the more intensive analysis is performed by the management system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A moving body control system is configured to control a moving body having a function of operating in accordance with a remote instruction in a predetermined area. The moving body control system includes a management system and a control device mounted on the moving body. The control device is configured to execute a first verification process of determining whether or not a suspicion of unauthorized activation of the control device exists, and when the suspicion of the unauthorized activation exists, request the management system to execute a second verification process of finally determining whether or not the suspicion of the unauthorized activation is valid based on a criterion different from a criterion of the first verification process.
