Smart Car Authentication via Telematics Position and Phone Number
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current authentication methods between smart cars and smart homes are inconvenient and prone to errors, relying on manual key input or call center assistance, which increases operational costs and risks of misrepresentation.
Innovation Solution
A method for mutual authentication between smart cars and smart homes using a telematics service center, where the smart car's telematics terminal sends a request for authentication based on its position and phone number, allowing the center to check registration information and automatically authenticate with the smart home center, eliminating the need for manual key input or call center involvement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual key input or call center assistance is used for authentication, then user convenience is improved, but operational costs and error risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication system enables self-service by automatically verifying user credentials against the database without requiring manual key input or call center assistance. The system independently completes the authentication process, reducing both operational costs and error risks while maintaining ease of use.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical authentication methods (key input, call center verification) with an automated electronic authentication system. This substitution eliminates human error in credential verification and reduces operational costs while improving both convenience and reliability.
2Device complexity
If manual key input is used for authentication, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic credential verification without requiring users to manually input keys or contact call centers. This self-service approach simplifies the user experience while the automated backend handles the complexity of authentication logic, achieving both ease of operation and manageable system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
User credentials are pre-registered in the database before authentication is needed. During the authentication process, the system simply retrieves and verifies these pre-stored credentials, eliminating the need for complex real-time verification logic and manual key input from users.
3Reliability
If call center assistance is used for authentication, then reliability is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces time-consuming call center verification processes with automated electronic authentication. The system instantly verifies credentials against the database, maintaining high reliability through accurate automated verification while eliminating the time loss associated with human-mediated authentication.
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication system independently verifies credentials without requiring user interaction with call centers. This self-service approach maintains authentication accuracy through automated verification while dramatically reducing the time required compared to manual verification processes.

AI summary
A method for authentication between a smart car and a smart home includes: sending, by a telematics terminal of the smart car, a request for authentication of the telematics terminal to a telematics service center using a position of the smart car and a telephone number of the telematics terminal, wherein a car number of the smart car corresponds to the telephone number of the telematics terminal; checking, by a telematics service center, registration information about whether a smart home near the position of the smart car is registered in a smart home center; and authenticating, by the telematics terminal, the registration information received from the telematics service center through the telematics service center to the smart home center.
