Road Condition Information Sharing via Server-Mediated Terminal Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing road condition information recording devices on vehicles have limited angles of view and information, failing to meet the comprehensive driving requirements of users.
Innovation Solution
A method for sharing road condition information between terminals, where a server receives a request for road condition information, determines a suitable terminal with a recording capability near the requested position, and facilitates the sharing of relevant information, including photographs and accident images, to provide users with more comprehensive data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single road condition recording device is used on a vehicle, then the device complexity is low, but the road condition information coverage is limited and cannot meet comprehensive driving requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges road condition recording devices from multiple vehicles into a unified networked system. Terminals on different vehicles share road condition information through a server, combining the capabilities of multiple devices to achieve comprehensive road condition coverage while maintaining individual device simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as a universal platform that collects, processes, and distributes road condition information from multiple sources. The system enables terminals to serve multiple functions: recording local road conditions, receiving remote road condition data, and providing comprehensive driving assistance information
2Loss of information
If multiple road condition recording devices are deployed on different vehicles, then the road condition information coverage improves, but the system complexity and information sharing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The server serves as an intermediary that manages information sharing between multiple terminals. It collects road condition data from various vehicles, processes the information, and distributes relevant data to requesting terminals, thereby simplifying the complexity of direct peer-to-peer communication while ensuring complete information coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the road condition monitoring function across multiple independent terminals while maintaining centralized coordination through the server. Each terminal independently records local road conditions, and the server segments and distributes relevant information to appropriate terminals based on their locations and requirements
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a road condition information sharing method. The method includes: receiving, by a server, a road condition information request sent by a first terminal, where the road condition information request carries a road condition position of concern; determining, by the server, a second terminal according to the road condition position of concern, where the second terminal has a road condition recording capability, and a distance between the second terminal and the road condition position of concern is less than a preset threshold; and sending, by the server, a road condition sharing request to the second terminal, so that the second terminal shares a road condition according to the road condition position of concern.
