Solution Overview
Problem
Users of in-vehicle applications on intelligent vehicles face complex operations and poor user experience when transitioning from mobile applications to in-vehicle applications, requiring manual login and status synchronization.
Innovation Solution
The intelligent vehicle monitors the distance between a user's terminal device and the vehicle, determining the user's intention to enter, and automatically runs and synchronizes the in-vehicle application with the terminal application's use status when the user is within a specified range, utilizing Bluetooth connections and signal strength for accurate matching and data transfer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the user manually starts the in-vehicle application and performs operations to synchronize status, then the application status can be synchronized, but the operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by monitoring the terminal device's approach to the vehicle and automatically starting the in-vehicle application before the user needs it. When the terminal device enters the first preset range, the system proactively launches the corresponding in-vehicle application and prepares for status synchronization, eliminating the need for manual user operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically detecting the terminal device, identifying the running application, and synchronizing status information without user intervention. The in-vehicle system monitors itself, detects when synchronization is needed based on device proximity, and automatically completes the status transfer from terminal to in-vehicle application.
2Ease of operation
If the system monitors distance and automatically runs the in-vehicle application, then user operations are reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves multi-functionality by integrating distance monitoring, device detection, application identification, and status synchronization into a unified automated process. The in-vehicle system serves multiple functions: it acts as a proximity sensor, device identifier, application launcher, and status synchronizer, reducing the need for separate manual operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring the distance between the terminal device and vehicle, detecting when the device enters preset ranges, and triggering appropriate actions. The system receives feedback from distance sensors and device detection modules to automatically adjust its behavior and initiate status synchronization when conditions are met.
3Loss of time
If the system uses multiple threshold ranges for monitoring, then the synchronization timing is improved, but the measurement complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring space is segmented into multiple preset ranges with different thresholds (first preset range, second preset range, etc.). Each range corresponds to a specific action trigger, allowing the system to perform different operations at different distances. This spatial segmentation enables precise control over when status synchronization occurs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses multiple threshold ranges to perform preliminary actions at different stages of device approach. The first preset range triggers application startup in advance, while the second preset range (smaller threshold) triggers status synchronization. This staged preliminary action ensures that by the time the user needs the application, everything is ready.

AI summary
Application processing methods and apparatuses applied to an intelligent vehicle are provided. One application processing method comprises: monitoring a distance between a terminal device and an intelligent vehicle, running a second application on the intelligent vehicle in response to a first preset condition being met, wherein the first preset condition comprises that the distance is less than a first threshold, obtaining a first use status of a first application running on the terminal device in response to a second preset condition being met, wherein the second preset condition comprises that the distance is less than a second threshold, and the second application is a version of the first application for the intelligent vehicle, and synchronizing the first use status to the second application on the intelligent vehicle.
