Server-Based Vehicle Environment Control for Shared Users
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In scenarios where multiple family members share a single vehicle, there is a need to frequently adjust the vehicle environment settings to accommodate different users, which is inefficient and inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control system comprising a server and user terminal that communicates to receive user information and searches for corresponding vehicle environment settings, allowing the server to control the vehicle environment automatically, such as seating, temperature, and multimedia settings, based on user input or identification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual adjustment of vehicle environment settings is performed for each user, then individual user preferences can be accommodated, but the time and effort required for adjustments increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores multiple sets of vehicle environment information (seating positions, temperature settings, multimedia preferences) corresponding to different user profiles in advance. When a user enters the vehicle, the system automatically retrieves and applies the pre-configured settings without requiring manual adjustment, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and time consumption.
2Ease of operation
If multiple user profiles are stored and automatically applied, then user-specific environment settings are achieved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-service by using the user terminal's identification information (such as smartphone ID or user account) to automatically retrieve and apply the corresponding vehicle environment settings. This eliminates the need for complex manual configuration processes while maintaining ease of operation, as the system handles profile management automatically based on simple user identification.
3Ease of operation
If vehicle environment information is automatically controlled based on user terminal connection, then convenience is improved, but the communication and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
User information and vehicle environment settings are transmitted and stored in advance when the user terminal is connected to the vehicle. This preliminary data exchange allows the system to quickly retrieve and apply settings without requiring extensive real-time communication and processing energy during actual vehicle operation, thus resolving the contradiction between convenience and energy consumption.

AI summary
A vehicle control method of a server is provided. The vehicle control method includes receiving, when a user terminal is connected, user information from the user terminal, searching for vehicle environment information corresponding to the user information, and controlling an environment of a vehicle using the searched vehicle environment information.
