Timeline-Based Vehicle Service Scheduling for Task Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of mobile terminals face inconvenience when requesting and scheduling vehicle services, as existing systems lack efficient methods for integrating vehicle arrival times with ongoing tasks or content playback, leading to inadequate service provision and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A video display device and method that output a timeline indicating task progress, allowing users to request vehicle services from an external server based on task end times, with icons representing available vehicles and dynamic positioning based on arrival times, enabling users to select and adjust service timing accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If vehicle service is requested independently without integrating with task progress, then vehicle service can be called anytime, but user convenience deteriorates due to lack of coordination with task completion timing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges vehicle service scheduling with task progress tracking by displaying the vehicle service icon on the timeline overlaying the task progress bar. This integration allows the system to automatically coordinate vehicle arrival with task completion timing, improving user convenience without requiring separate independent scheduling systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a temporal dimension by overlaying the vehicle service timeline on top of the existing task progress timeline. This dimensional integration allows both vehicle service scheduling and task tracking to share the same temporal visualization space, simplifying the user interface while maintaining coordination between the two functions.
2Ease of operation
If vehicle arrival time is fixed without dynamic adjustment, then scheduling is simple, but user convenience deteriorates when task completion time changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic scheduling by allowing the vehicle service icon position on the timeline to change automatically based on task progress. When task completion time changes, the system dynamically adjusts the vehicle arrival time accordingly, maintaining simplicity for the user while providing adaptability to changing conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback by automatically updating the vehicle service timing based on real-time task progress detection. The timeline visualization shows the relationship between task completion and vehicle arrival, allowing the system to adapt schedules based on actual task status without requiring manual user input.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple vehicles are available without clear differentiation, then service options are abundant, but ease of operation deteriorates due to difficulty in selecting appropriate vehicle
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating multiple vehicle options through distinct visual representations on the timeline. Each vehicle service option is displayed as a separate icon with unique visual characteristics that indicate different arrival times or service characteristics, making it easy for users to identify and select the appropriate vehicle based on their specific needs.

AI summary
A video display device includes a display unit outputting a timeline indicating a progress status of a predetermined task being executed, a communication unit requesting a vehicle providing service from an external server on the basis of a predetermined user input, and a controller controlling the display unit to display information regarding a service providing vehicle received in response to the request, on the timeline, wherein the service providing vehicle is selected in consideration of an end time of the predetermined task being executed.
