Moving Object Remote Control Deactivation via Inter-Object Signal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In manufacturing processes, particularly in vehicle production, there is a risk of third-party remote control of moving objects such as vehicles, which can lead to unauthorized operation and potential security issues.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for a moving object that includes an acquisition unit to detect deactivation information from another moving object and a deactivation execution unit to deactivate its own remote control, preventing third-party remote control by acquiring and acting on deactivation information, which can be triggered by time, distance, or position.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If remote control function is enabled for moving objects in manufacturing processes, then ease of operation and productivity are improved, but security risk and unauthorized operation possibility increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies preliminary anti-action by proactively deactivating remote control functions based on detected deactivation information from other moving objects. When the acquisition unit receives deactivation information indicating that another moving object has deactivated its remote control, the deactivation execution unit automatically deactivates the current moving object's remote control function in advance, preventing potential third-party unauthorized operations before they can occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism through the acquisition unit that receives and processes deactivation information from other moving objects. This intermediary information transfer system allows moving objects to coordinate their remote control states, where one object's deactivation status triggers corresponding deactivation in other objects, creating a coordinated security response across the manufacturing environment.
2Reliability
If remote control is deactivated to prevent third-party control, then security is improved, but ease of operation and productivity may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies dynamics by making the remote control function state changeable based on operational context. Rather than permanently disabling remote control, the system dynamically adjusts the remote control state - enabling it when needed for manufacturing operations and automatically deactivating it when deactivation information from other moving objects is received. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain productivity when security risks are low while ensuring security when risks are detected.

AI summary
A moving object movable by remote control includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire deactivation information indicating that remote control for another moving object movable by remote control is deactivated, the another moving object being different from the moving object; and a deactivation execution unit configured to deactivate remote control for the moving object when the acquisition unit acquires the deactivation information.
