Selective Remote Control Disabling for Shipped Moving Objects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote control disabling methods for moving objects, such as vehicles, often result in reduced user-friendliness when all remote control functions are disabled, as they do not allow for selective disabling of functions based on the manufacturing process or shipping status, leading to potential misuse by third parties.
Innovation Solution
A remote control disabling device and method that determine and switch specific remote control functions between enabled and disabled states based on the manufacturing process or shipping status, allowing for partial disabling of functions like acceleration, deceleration, and direction change, preventing third-party remote control after shipping.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all remote control functions are disabled when the moving object is shipped from the factory, then security against third-party remote control is improved, but user-friendliness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments remote control functions into multiple individual functions (acceleration, deceleration, direction change, etc.) and applies disabling selectively to specific functions rather than disabling all remote control functions uniformly. This allows the system to disable only the functions that pose security risks (e.g., functions that could enable unauthorized movement) while keeping other functions enabled for user convenience, thus resolving the contradiction between security and user-friendliness.
2Reliability
If remote control functions are disabled based on manufacturing process progress, then security is improved without completely disabling user access, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary disabling of specific remote control functions at predetermined stages during the manufacturing process. The system is configured in advance to automatically disable certain functions when specific manufacturing milestones are reached, eliminating the need for complex real-time monitoring and manual intervention. This preliminary action approach maintains security while avoiding excessive system complexity.
3Ease of operation
If selective disabling of remote control functions is implemented, then user-friendliness is maintained, but the risk of unauthorized remote control increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different disabling states to different remote control functions based on their specific security implications. Critical functions that could enable unauthorized movement (such as acceleration and direction change) are disabled, while less critical functions remain enabled for user convenience. This localized quality approach ensures that security is strengthened at critical points while maintaining overall user-friendliness.

AI summary
A remote control disabling device includes: a determination unit that determines part of functions that are targets to be switched between an enabled state and a disabled state among a plurality of functions of a moving object to be executed by remote control; and a transmission unit that transmits a signal for causing the moving object to switch between the enabled state and the disabled state of the part of the functions.
