Automatic Steering Control for Flexible Target and Path Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current driving support and automatic driving technologies for moving objects do not allow users to change the determination order of target position and movement pattern, limiting user convenience.
Innovation Solution
A control device with two modes: in the first mode, the user selects the movement pattern after specifying the target position, and in the second mode, the user specifies the target position after selecting the movement pattern, allowing users to change the determination order.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the system provides a fixed determination order for target position and movement pattern, then the system complexity is reduced, but the user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the determination order changeable rather than fixed. The control device switches between first and second modes according to user operation, allowing the sequence of determining target position and movement pattern to be dynamically adjusted. This resolves the contradiction by providing user convenience through flexible ordering while maintaining manageable system complexity through clear mode switching mechanisms.
2Ease of operation
If the system allows changing the determination order of target position and movement pattern, then the user convenience is improved, but the control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the control process into distinct modes (first mode and second mode). Each mode has a specific determination order: first mode determines target position then movement pattern, while second mode determines movement pattern then target position. This segmentation allows the system to offer multiple determination orders without creating complex control logic within each mode, thus improving user convenience while keeping control complexity manageable through clear separation of functions.

AI summary
A control device is configured to control a moving object that is moved by automatic steering to a target position specified by a user, the moving object being configured to be movable according to a plurality of types of movement patterns, and moving according to a movement pattern selected by the user from among the plurality of types of movement patterns when moving to the target position. The control device has a first mode and a second mode, and is configured to be switchable between the first mode and the second mode according to an operation of the user. In the first mode, the control device receives selection of the movement pattern after receiving specification of the target position. In the second mode, the control device receives the specification of the target position after receiving the selection of the movement pattern.
