Server Apparatus for Selective Vehicle Abnormality Notification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for notifying abnormalities in vehicles are inefficient as they often transmit information to multiple destinations, leading to unnecessary responses from multiple individuals.
Innovation Solution
A server apparatus that receives abnormality detection information from vehicles and selectively transmits notification information to information terminals within a predetermined range of the vehicle, ensuring that only relevant personnel are informed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If abnormality notification information is transmitted to multiple information terminals, then the probability of finding the abnormality is improved, but the number of responses increases and efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system transmits abnormality information selectively to information terminals based on their spatial relationship with the abnormal vehicle. Terminals within a predetermined range receive notifications, while those outside do not. This local differentiation ensures that nearby personnel (more likely to respond quickly) are informed while avoiding unnecessary notifications to distant terminals, thus maintaining high reliability without sacrificing response efficiency.
2Reliability
If abnormality notification information is transmitted to all information terminals, then no response is lost, but resource waste increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and identifies the subset of information terminals that are within the predetermined range of the abnormal vehicle from the complete set of all terminals. Only this extracted subset receives notifications. This selective extraction maintains adequate notification coverage for reliable abnormality response while eliminating unnecessary communications to terminals outside the range, thereby reducing energy and resource waste.
3Reliability
If multiple personnel are notified of a vehicle abnormality, then collaborative response is improved, but coordination complexity increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by notifying only those information terminals located within a predetermined range of the abnormal vehicle. This spatially-aware selective notification reduces the number of personnel who need to be coordinated while ensuring that those most likely to respond (nearby personnel) are informed. The complexity of the notification system is minimized by using simple range-based selection rather than complex coordination protocols.

AI summary
The present invention provides a server apparatus communicably connected to a vehicle and a plurality of information terminals, comprising: a reception unit configured to receive abnormality detection information from the vehicle; a selection unit configured to select, if the reception unit receives the abnormality detection information, among the plurality of information terminals, the information terminal existing within a predetermined range from the vehicle as a target terminal to which the abnormality notification information of the vehicle is to be transmitted; and a transmission unit configured to transmit the abnormality notification information to the information terminal selected by the selection unit.
