Remote Moving Body Control With Area-Based Instruction Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The potential abuse of moving bodies operating under remote instructions in predetermined areas, such as vehicles or robots, due to the risk of malicious actors issuing fake remote instructions, leading to unauthorized operation and potential theft or accidents.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a remote instruction verification process that determines the validity of received instructions by checking the moving body's presence in the predetermined area and limiting operations if the instruction is invalid, including area verification, source verification, and operation limiting processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the moving body operates in accordance with remote instructions without verification, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability deteriorates due to potential abuse and unauthorized operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by verifying the moving body's presence in the predetermined area before executing the remote instruction. The control device checks whether the moving body is detected by the detection device at the location specified in the remote instruction before allowing operation, preventing unauthorized operations while maintaining ease of use for legitimate remote control scenarios
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification mechanism between the remote instruction receiver and the moving body controller. The control device acts as an intermediary that receives remote instructions, verifies the moving body's presence through detection devices, and only then transmits control signals to the moving body, thereby enhancing security without compromising operational convenience
2Adaptability or versatility
If the moving body accepts all remote instructions, then the adaptability is improved, but the object-affected harmful factors increase due to potential malicious operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary anti-action by implementing a preventive verification step that counteracts potential malicious operations before they can affect the moving body. The system checks whether the moving body is present at the location specified in the remote instruction before execution, thereby preventing theft, unauthorized operations, and accidents caused by fake remote instructions
3Reliability
If the system verifies remote instructions by checking presence in predetermined area, then the reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by utilizing existing detection devices already deployed in the predetermined area for their primary function, while simultaneously using them for verification of remote instructions. This approach enhances reliability through presence verification without requiring additional dedicated verification hardware, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity

AI summary
A moving body control method controls a moving body having a function of operating in accordance with a remote instruction in a predetermined area. The moving body control method includes: a remote instruction verification process that determines whether or not the remote instruction received by the moving body is valid; and an operation limiting process that limits at least a part of an operation of the moving body without following the remote instruction, when the remote instruction received by the moving body is invalid. The remote instruction verification process includes: determining whether or not the moving body is present in the predetermined area at a time when the moving body receives the remote instruction; and determining that the remote instruction is invalid, when the moving body is not present in the predetermined area at the time when the moving body receives the remote instruction.
