Solution Overview

Problem

Current vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication systems struggle to accurately identify and receive data from specific vehicles, particularly those ahead, leading to inefficiencies in sharing traffic information and views between vehicles.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that obtain identification information of a first vehicle from a second vehicle using spatial proximity, acquire a corresponding key pair, and process data signed with a second key to verify and display or transmit the identified data, enabling secure and specific data exchange between vehicles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If V2V communication systems use traditional identification methods, then vehicles can exchange data, but they cannot accurately identify and receive data from specific vehicles ahead

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle identification accuracyVSAvoidtraffic information sharing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the V2V communication process into distinct phases: identification information acquisition, key pair acquisition, data identification, and data processing. This segmentation allows each phase to be optimized independently, improving both identification accuracy and communication efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by acquiring identification information and key pairs before actual data exchange occurs. This preliminary setup enables accurate vehicle identification and secure communication to be established in advance, resolving the contradiction between identification accuracy and communication efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If V2V systems implement secure data exchange with key pairs, then data security is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidcommunication system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces key pairs as intermediary elements that mediate between vehicles for secure communication. The first key identifies data origin, while the second key verifies authenticity. This intermediary mechanism provides security without requiring complex direct verification protocols between vehicles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses identification information (such as vehicle identifiers) as a copy or representation of the actual vehicle identity. This allows vehicles to be identified and authenticated without exposing sensitive information, simplifying the security system while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If V2V communication uses detailed vehicle identification, then data source verification is improved, but information processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata source verification accuracyVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential identification information and key pair elements needed for verification, separating them from the actual data payload. This extraction allows rapid verification of data sources without processing unnecessary information, reducing time loss while maintaining verification accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A method, system and computer program product for wireless communication between vehicles are provided. In the method, identification information of a first vehicle by a second vehicle being spatially close to the first vehicle is obtained. And a first key associated with the first vehicle by using the identification information is acquired. Data originated from the first vehicle and signed with a second key corresponding to the first key are identified with the first key. And then the identified data is processed.
