Parking Assistance Management Device for Agent Vehicle Location
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Drivers face challenges in finding and parking vehicles in crowded parking lots, leading to wasted time and inefficiency, especially when the vehicle's location is unclear or difficult to determine during parking assistance services.
Innovation Solution
A parking assistance service management device and agent terminal system that receives and transmits vehicle position information from a user's terminal to an agent's terminal, allowing the agent to easily locate and operate the vehicle for parking assistance, using features like GPS, display controllers, and enablement data for authentication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the agent searches for the vehicle in a large parking lot without position information, then the agent can operate the vehicle for parking assistance, but the agent cannot easily discover the vehicle and takes too much time
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by obtaining the vehicle's position information from the service user's terminal before the agent needs to search for the vehicle. The management device receives position information and transmits it to the agent's terminal in advance, so when the agent arrives at the parking lot, the location data is already ready and displayed, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual search.
Solution Approach 2:
The management device acts as an intermediary between the service user's terminal and the agent's terminal. It receives position information from the user's terminal and transmits it to the agent's terminal, enabling seamless information transfer without requiring direct communication or manual input from the service user during the agent's search process.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the service user does not determine the delivery place in advance, then the service user has flexibility in choosing parking location, but the agent cannot discover the vehicle easily and parking assistance is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically obtaining the vehicle's position information from the service user's terminal without requiring the service user to manually provide location details or determine a delivery place in advance. The management device automatically receives and processes the position data, maintaining flexibility while eliminating the detection difficulty.
3Productivity
If the agent relies on manual search for vehicle discovery, then the agent can operate the vehicle for parking assistance, but the agent takes too much time and effort especially in crowded parking lots
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the mechanical manual search process with an information-based system. Instead of the agent physically searching through crowded parking lots, the management device uses electronic communication to transmit the vehicle's position information to the agent's terminal, substituting physical search effort with digital information transfer and display.
