Remote Vehicle Moving Feedback for Shift State Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote moving application software and systems fail to effectively inform users about changes in the shift state of a vehicle's transmission apparatus during autonomous movement, making it difficult for users to discern such changes without visual confirmation.
Innovation Solution
The software generates distinct vibration patterns or output sounds based on the vehicle's control state, specifically differentiating between shift changes and other operational states, allowing users to discern these changes through tactile or auditory cues.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the operation terminal uses vibration or sound to inform users of vehicle states, then user awareness of vehicle operations is improved, but the ability to distinguish specific states (such as shift changes) from other states remains insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the vibration and sound feedback into distinct patterns for different vehicle states. Specifically, shift change events are assigned unique vibration patterns (e.g., different frequency, duration, or intensity) and sound patterns compared to other vehicle operations. This segmentation allows users to distinguish shift state changes from other vehicle operations through tactile and auditory cues.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of vibration and sound output based on the vehicle's control state. When a shift change is detected, the system modifies vibration parameters (such as amplitude, frequency, or pattern) and sound parameters (such as pitch, volume, or waveform) to create distinguishable feedback. This parameter variation enables users to recognize specific vehicle states without visual confirmation.
2Loss of information
If the system provides detailed feedback for all vehicle states, then user information completeness is improved, but the complexity of the feedback system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the operation terminal's vibration and sound output devices serve multiple functions by assigning different patterns to represent different vehicle states. A single vibration motor and speaker can convey multiple types of information (shift changes, acceleration, braking, steering) through pattern variation alone, eliminating the need for separate indicators for each state and simplifying the overall feedback system architecture.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables users to easily recognize shift state changes during remote vehicle control by generating unique vibration or sound patterns, enhancing user awareness of vehicle operations.
Implementation Method 1
the operation terminal to (i) generate vibration having a vibration pattern different from the vibration pattern of the vibration generated by the operation terminal when the state of controlling the vehicle is a state other than the state of changing the shift state
Implementation Method 2
the operation terminal to (i) generate vibration or (ii) output informing sounds, depending on a state of controlling the vehicle when the remote moving control is executed

AI summary
When a remote moving control is executed, and a state of controlling a vehicle is a state of changing a shift state of a transmission apparatus of the vehicle, a remote moving application software controls a terminal control unit to cause an operation terminal to generate vibration having a vibration pattern different from the vibration pattern of the vibration generated by the operation terminal when the state of controlling the vehicle is a state other than the state of changing the shift state or output informing sounds having an output pattern different from the output pattern of the informing sounds output by the operation terminal when the state of controlling the vehicle is the state other than the state of changing the shift state.
