Solution Overview

Problem

The use of a vehicle by a share key can exceed a set limit range, leading to unauthorized use and potential misuse.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that transmit a video from a vehicle's video recording device to the owner when the vehicle deviates from the set usage limit range, and limit vehicle functions if the video recording is paused or disabled due to damage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If share key usage is allowed without restrictions, then ease of operation is improved, but vehicle security and authorized use are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshare key usageVSAvoidvehicle security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts vehicle access control based on real-time location data. When the share key holder enters a restricted area, the system automatically changes from an allowed state to a restricted state, preventing unauthorized use while maintaining ease of operation in authorized zones

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors vehicle location and compares it against restricted areas, providing real-time feedback. When a violation is detected, the system sends notifications to both the owner and share key holder, and automatically limits vehicle functions, creating a closed-loop control system that maintains security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If video recording is continuously monitored, then detection precision is improved, but device complexity and energy consumption are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeviation detectionVSAvoidvideo recording system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-defines restricted areas using geographic coordinates before the share key is activated. This preliminary setup eliminates the need for complex real-time analysis, as the system only needs to compare current location against pre-established boundary data, reducing computational complexity while maintaining detection precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of implementing comprehensive monitoring of all vehicle functions, the system focuses specifically on location-based video recording verification. This partial monitoring approach achieves sufficient detection precision for security purposes while minimizing device complexity and energy consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Described is a method for controlling a vehicle, which comprises a video recording device comprising a camera module for capturing video around the vehicle and a controller configured to control an access/start of a share key, includes setting a usage limit range for the share key, allowing an access/start of the vehicle by the share key, determining whether the vehicle deviates from the usage limit range during a drive initiated by the access/start, and transmitting to an external server deviation information if it is determined that the vehicle has deviated from the usage limit range.
