Remote Mobile Device Management via VTEP Data Fusion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current remote mobile device management systems for vehicles lack the ability to efficiently collect, process, and interpret data from various sources to enable, disable, or manage mobile device functions securely over wireless networks, leading to inefficiencies and cost savings challenges.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize a secure wireless network to enable, disable, or manage mobile device functions by combining on-vehicle data with off-vehicle content from databases, cloud sources, or physical structures, using a remote profile manager toolset to access and synchronize data elements and instruction sets based on vehicle, timing, event, and positioning (VTEP) data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If remote mobile device management systems collect and process data from various sources, then operational efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments data management by creating separate modules: an assigning authority module that manages policy decisions, a profile manager module that handles device configurations, and a data collection module that gathers information from multiple sources. This segmentation allows complex data processing while maintaining manageable system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an assigning authority as an intermediary component that mediates between raw data from multiple sources and the actual device management actions. This intermediary processes and interprets data, reducing the complexity burden on individual components while maintaining high operational efficiency.
2Reliability
If the system manages mobile device functions securely over wireless networks, then security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The profile manager module automatically manages device functions based on policies set by the assigning authority. The system performs self-service operations such as automatic device pairing, automatic configuration updates, and automatic function enablement/disabling, which maintains high security while reducing the operational burden on users.
Solution Approach 2:
Security policies and device configurations are pre-established by the assigning authority before actual device operations. This preliminary action of setting up secure frameworks in advance allows devices to operate securely without requiring users to manually configure complex security settings during operation.
3Loss of information
If the system combines on-vehicle data with off-vehicle content, then data fusion capability is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-loads and caches off-vehicle content from databases and cloud sources before it is needed for device management decisions. This preliminary data preparation reduces the time required to fuse on-vehicle and off-vehicle data when actual management actions are required, while maintaining comprehensive data fusion capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms that track data access patterns and usage frequency. Based on this feedback, the system optimizes which off-vehicle data to pre-load and how frequently to synchronize with external sources, balancing data fusion completeness with processing time efficiency.
