Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle trip plan management solutions are deficient in dynamically updating trip plans based on changing circumstances and lack efficient methods for managing multiple trip plan service provider responsibilities, leading to high operating costs and excess technological resource consumption.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system for adaptive trip activity and data security management that enables the execution of various trip activities associated with multiple entities by a vehicle, involving the generation of trip plans and rule sets based on entity-specific parameters and conditions, allowing for dynamic updates and efficient resource allocation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a single vehicle executes trip plans for multiple entities, then resource utilization improves, but data security and privacy management becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle utilizationVSAvoiddata security management
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments data security management by creating entity-specific rule sets that are decoupled from trip plans. Each entity has its own security rules, encryption models, and data handling protocols, allowing independent management of security parameters for multiple entities without increasing overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a trip plan management system as an intermediary layer between vehicles and entities. This intermediary handles security management, rule set generation, and data encryption/decryption operations, isolating the complexity from both the vehicle execution layer and the entity data layer

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If trip plans are rigidly structured, then execution reliability improves, but adaptability to changing circumstances deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrip plan executionVSAvoiddynamic update capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic trip plans where rule sets can be modified during execution based on changing conditions. The trip plan management system receives updates, generates modified rule sets, and pushes updates to vehicles in real-time, allowing the system to adapt to new circumstances while maintaining execution reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes comprehensive rule sets and condition definitions in advance before trip execution. These pre-defined rules cover various scenarios and conditions, enabling the system to respond to changing circumstances by selecting and applying appropriate pre-prepared rules rather than requiring complex real-time decision-making

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If multiple trip activities are managed separately, then data security is maintained, but operational efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidoperational efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges trip activities from multiple entities into unified trip plans executed by vehicles. By combining activities that can be performed concurrently or sequentially by the same vehicle, the system maintains data security through entity-specific rule sets while improving operational efficiency through consolidated execution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Embodiments described herein provide a trip plan management system configured to facilitate the execution of various trip activities associated with multiple respective entities by a vehicle. Embodiments may receive a plurality of trip activity requests and generate a plurality of trip activities. Embodiments may also generate a trip plan based on the plurality of trip activities based on a plurality of trip activity parameters associated with each respective trip activity. Embodiments may also generate at least a first rule set based on the plurality of trip activities, where the first rule set is generated based on at least one of a condition set or an action sequence associated with at least one trip activity of the plurality of trip activities. Embodiments may also cause the vehicle to execute the trip plan based on the first rule set by inputting the trip plan and the first rule set into the vehicle.
