Remote Driving Service Termination via Mutual Consent
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote driving services cannot be terminated without notice when traffic jams or other hindrances prevent the vehicle from reaching the destination, leading to unnecessary continuation of the service.
Innovation Solution
A remote driving service processing device that includes a user terminal, a remote control terminal, and a server, which mediates consent between the requester and the remote driver to terminate the service and facilitates settlement through a financial institution terminal, allowing for agreement-based termination and settlement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the remote driving service continues until the vehicle arrives at the destination, then the service completion is guaranteed, but the service cannot be terminated when traffic jams or hindrances occur, leading to unnecessary continuation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic service termination by allowing the service end position to be changed from a fixed destination to a flexible location determined by mutual agreement between the requester and remote driver. The server enables real-time modification of the service endpoint based on current traffic conditions and driver assessment, transforming a static service model into a dynamic one that adapts to changing circumstances.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that facilitates communication and agreement between the requester and remote driver regarding service termination. It mediates the negotiation process by transmitting termination permission requests from the driver to the requester and relaying consent or objection responses, enabling coordinated decision-making without direct peer-to-peer interaction.
2Ease of operation
If the server mediates consent between requester and remote driver for service termination, then agreement-based termination is achieved, but additional communication steps are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service termination initiation by the remote driver, who can independently determine when the vehicle is having difficulty reaching the destination and submit a termination permission request without requiring manual intervention from the requester. The requester then simply needs to review and respond to the driver's proposal, reversing the traditional approval flow and reducing the complexity of initiation.
3Loss of time
If the remote driving service is terminated early due to traffic jams, then unnecessary service continuation is avoided, but settlement and billing processes may be disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs preliminary actions by automatically calculating the settlement amount based on the actual service period from start to the agreed termination point, and by initiating the settlement process immediately upon receiving requester consent. This preliminary settlement calculation and initiation ensure that billing is handled proactively rather than reactively, maintaining financial process reliability even when service duration varies.

AI summary
A remote driving service processing device includes: a general user terminal by which a requester applies for a remote driving service for moving a vehicle to a destination; a remote control terminal by which a remote driver remotely control the vehicle and sends a remote driving service termination permission request for terminating the remote driving service when the vehicle is having difficulty reaching the destination; and a server that sends a termination approval to the remote control terminal and terminates the remote driving service when (i) transferring the remote driving service termination permission request received from the remote control terminal to the general user terminal, and (ii) receiving a remote driving service termination consent, which is a response to the remote driving service termination permission request, from the general user terminal.
