Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack a comprehensive solution for providing shared content services using remote-controlled autonomous devices, such as drones or mobile robots, that allow multiple users to purchase temporary licenses for event coverage and share acquired content effectively.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a shared autonomous device unit with driving, shooting, and communication functions, a license transaction unit for selling and processing temporary licenses, a system connection unit for connecting users to the device, a remote control unit for receiving and executing control instructions, and a contents information providing unit for sharing video and sensing data, enabling users to remotely control and access the device for event coverage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a shared autonomous device is made accessible to multiple users through remote control, then user accessibility and content sharing capability are improved, but system complexity and license management overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser accessibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into distinct functional modules: license transaction unit for authorization management, system connection unit for user-device connectivity, remote control unit for operation control, and contents information providing unit for content delivery. This segmentation allows each module to handle specific tasks independently, managing complexity while enabling multi-user access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary between multiple users and the shared autonomous device. It manages license transactions, processes connection requests, coordinates remote control signals, and distributes content information. This intermediary approach enables multiple users to access the device without direct peer-to-peer complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If temporary licenses are sold and delegated to multiple purchasers, then service accessibility and revenue potential are improved, but license management and system connection processing become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice accessibilityVSAvoidlicense management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The license transaction unit enables users to autonomously purchase and receive temporary licenses through automated processes. Users can independently complete license acquisition, system connection, and content access without manual intervention, reducing management complexity while improving service accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the server monitors license usage, tracks connected users, and manages authorization states. This feedback loop ensures proper license management and system coordination, enabling multiple users to access the service while maintaining control over license distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If real-time and recorded content sharing is enabled for multiple users, then user experience and service value are improved, but data transmission and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent sharing capabilityVSAvoiddata transmission energy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The contents information providing unit delivers content information in periodic or on-demand intervals rather than continuous real-time streams. This approach reduces data transmission energy consumption while still enabling effective content sharing among multiple users through scheduled or event-triggered updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

A system for providing a shared contents service using remote controlling of a shared autonomous device, includes: at least one shared autonomous device unit having driving, shooting, sensing and communication functions via an Internet communication network; a license transaction unit selling a license for the shared autonomous device unit, and delegating the sold license to a purchaser; a system connection unit processing the system connection of a license purchaser communication terminal by using the license delegated through the license transaction unit; a remote control unit receiving a control instruction signal of the shared autonomous device unit from the license purchaser communication terminal remotely connected through the system connection unit, and instructing to execute autonomous driving of the shared autonomous device unit according to the received control instruction signal; and a contents information providing unit providing, to a corresponding license purchaser, contents information acquired from the shared autonomous device unit.
