Telematics Terminal Wireless Vehicle Event Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional vehicle navigation systems lack the capability to effectively process and control vehicle events, such as temperature regulation, rain or snow management, and battery charging, through a wireless communication network with a mobile communication terminal.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control method and apparatus that transmit notification and control information via a wireless communication network, allowing users to request actions like opening or closing vehicle doors or sunroofs and starting the vehicle for battery charging, based on detected events like high temperature, rain, or low battery levels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional vehicle navigation systems are used, then basic navigation functions are provided, but the capability to process and control vehicle events through wireless communication is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The telematics terminal is designed to perform multiple functions including navigation, vehicle event monitoring, temperature control, precipitation management, and battery charging coordination through a single integrated system that communicates with both the vehicle and mobile communication terminal
Solution Approach 2:
The telematics terminal acts as an intermediary device between the vehicle's internal systems and the mobile communication terminal, enabling wireless communication and coordination of vehicle events without requiring direct integration between the vehicle and external communication systems
2Speed
If automatic control actions are implemented for vehicle events, then response speed is improved, but user control flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically monitoring vehicle events and preparing control information in advance, then executes automatic control actions when events occur while still allowing users to review and modify actions through the mobile communication terminal
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where control information and notification information are transmitted to the mobile communication terminal, allowing users to receive real-time updates and provide feedback to adjust or modify automatic control actions based on their preferences
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple control code numbers are provided for different vehicle events, then operational precision is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control information is segmented into distinct code numbers representing different vehicle events and control actions, with each code number corresponding to a specific event type and desired outcome, enabling precise control while organizing complexity into manageable categories
Data Source
AI summary
A vehicle, vehicle control apparatus and method of a telematics terminal are disclosed to allow a user to quickly determine and cope with a vehicle event. The vehicle control method includes: when an event informing about a vehicle event occurs, transmitting notification information corresponding to the event and/or control information previously determined for processing the event to a mobile communication terminal via a wireless communication network; and when user request information with respect to the control information is received from the mobile communication terminal, controlling a vehicle according to the received user request information.
