Remote Control Deactivation for Moving Objects Against Unauthorized Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a risk of unauthorized third-party remote control of moving objects, such as vehicles, during their manufacturing and operation, which can compromise security and control.
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 unauthorized control by third parties, with options for delayed or location-based deactivation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If remote control functionality is enabled for moving objects during manufacturing and operation, then ease of operation and automation are improved, but security risks increase due to potential unauthorized third-party control
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary deactivation of remote control functionality when specific conditions are met (e.g., when the moving object arrives at a predetermined location, when a predetermined time period has elapsed, or when another moving object in the group has been deactivated). This preliminary action prevents unauthorized control before it can occur, while still allowing remote control to be used during manufacturing and initial operation phases.
Solution Approach 2:
The acquisition unit continuously monitors for deactivation information from other moving objects or external sources. When deactivation information is received, the deactivation execution unit responds by deactivating remote control. This feedback mechanism ensures that remote control status is dynamically adjusted based on real-time conditions, maintaining security while preserving operational flexibility.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If remote control is deactivated immediately upon detecting deactivation information, then security is improved, but productivity is reduced due to loss of remote control capability
Solution Approach 1:
The system is configured to deactivate remote control only after specific conditions are satisfied, such as after a predetermined time period has elapsed since receiving deactivation information, or after the moving object has moved a predetermined distance. This preliminary action approach balances security requirements with productivity needs by maintaining remote control availability during legitimate operations while preventing unauthorized control.
Solution Approach 2:
The deactivation timing is made dynamic rather than immediate. The system can deactivate remote control after a predetermined time period, after moving a predetermined distance, or when arriving at a predetermined location. This dynamic approach allows remote control to remain active during normal productive operations while automatically deactivating it under specific conditions to prevent unauthorized control.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If remote control deactivation is synchronized across multiple moving objects, then security against third-party control is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each moving object is equipped with an acquisition unit that independently receives deactivation information and a deactivation execution unit that autonomously deactivates remote control based on received information. This self-service approach allows synchronized deactivation across multiple objects without requiring complex centralized coordination, as each object independently responds to deactivation signals while maintaining group security.
Solution Approach 2:
Deactivation information acts as an intermediary signal that is transmitted between moving objects or from an external source. When one moving object receives deactivation information, it can transmit this information to other objects in the group, which then independently deactivate their own remote control functionality. This intermediary mechanism enables coordinated deactivation without requiring complex direct communication and coordination between all objects.

AI summary
A moving object (100) 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.
