Vehicle Activation System Secure Remote Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle control systems lack secure activation methods without the use of physical keys, posing security risks in vehicle activation and operation.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a management apparatus outside the vehicle and an activation device inside, which transmits and receives activation information via a network, allowing secure activation of the vehicle control system without a physical key, enabling remote management and secure vehicle operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a physical key is used for vehicle control system activation, then security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical key system with an electronic activation system using activation information transmitted via network. The management apparatus sends activation information to the activation device, which then activates the vehicle control system electronically, eliminating the need for physical key insertion and turning while maintaining security through encrypted communication protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a management apparatus as an intermediary between the user and the vehicle control system. This intermediary manages activation information and transmits it securely to the activation device, providing a controlled interface that maintains security while enabling convenient remote activation without physical key contact.
2Ease of operation
If remote activation without physical key is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but security deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the activation parameter from physical key presence to electronic activation information transmission. The system uses network-based communication with encrypted data transmission, transforming the activation mechanism from mechanical to electronic while implementing security measures through parameter validation and authenticated communication protocols between management apparatus and activation device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses activation information as a digital copy or representation of authorization credentials. Instead of requiring the original physical key, the system transmits and validates digital activation information that serves as a secure copy of authorization, enabling remote activation while maintaining security through cryptographic validation of this digital credential.
3Adaptability or versatility
If management apparatus is provided outside the vehicle, then remote management capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the vehicle activation function into two separate components: a management apparatus located outside the vehicle that handles activation information generation and transmission, and an activation device inside the vehicle that receives and processes this information. This segmentation enables remote management capability while distributing system complexity across separate functional modules rather than concentrating all complexity within the vehicle.
Data Source
AI summary
An activation system includes: management apparatus configured to manage activation information which is information associated with a vehicle and is information for activation of a vehicle control system, the management apparatus being provided outside the vehicle; and an activation device configured to activate the vehicle control system, the activation device being provided in the vehicle. The management apparatus transmits the activation information to the activation device when the management apparatus receives an activation request signal. The activation device activates the vehicle control system when the activation device receives the activation information from the management apparatus.
