Server Device Group Driving Destination Reset
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In group driving scenarios, existing technologies lack an efficient method to reset the destination when the first vehicle reaches the initial destination, leading to inefficiencies and safety concerns due to the need for additional communication means and potential distractions for drivers.
Innovation Solution
A server device and its controlling method that allow the first vehicle to communicate with other vehicles in the group to reset the destination, transmitting a new destination and route without requiring additional communication means, thereby minimizing delays and maintaining focus on driving.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If additional communication means are used for drivers to communicate destination changes, then communication reliability is improved, but device complexity and safety risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the communication function into the existing server device that already manages group driving routes and destinations. Instead of adding separate communication tools, the server consolidates route management, destination setting, and communication capabilities into a single integrated system, eliminating the need for additional communication devices while maintaining reliable communication.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between vehicles in the group. When one vehicle reaches the destination, the server receives the destination change request, processes it, and automatically notifies other vehicles. This intermediary role eliminates the need for direct driver-to-driver communication, reducing complexity while ensuring reliable information transmission.
2Loss of information
If drivers use additional communication tools to notify others of destination changes, then information transmission is improved, but driver distraction and safety risks worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service communication through automated server notifications. When a driver changes the destination, the server automatically generates and transmits notifications to all other vehicles without requiring the driver to manually communicate. This eliminates the need for drivers to use additional communication tools, reducing distraction while ensuring complete information transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The server implements a feedback mechanism where destination change requests are automatically acknowledged and communicated to all group members. The system provides real-time feedback to drivers about destination changes through the existing communication channel, eliminating the need for separate communication tools and reducing driver workload.
3Measurement precision
If manual destination resetting is required when first vehicle arrives, then destination accuracy is improved, but time consumption and productivity worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs preliminary actions by continuously monitoring vehicle positions and automatically detecting when the first vehicle has reached the destination. Instead of waiting for manual input, the system proactively identifies the need for destination resetting and initiates the notification process automatically, improving both accuracy and efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical processes (drivers manually notifying others of destination changes) with automated electronic systems. The server automatically detects arrival, processes destination changes, and notifies all vehicles through digital communications, eliminating manual intervention while maintaining destination accuracy and significantly improving response time.
