Vehicle Function Authority Control for Clear Notification Changes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to clearly define the timing of notification changes based on indicators and image displays in vehicles, leading to user confusion regarding function execution, particularly in cases of communication abnormalities.
Innovation Solution
A control device and method that acquires authority information for vehicle functions, issuing notifications when enabled, stopping notifications upon abnormality detection, and canceling function selection as needed to prevent user confusion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the vehicle continues to notify the user that a function is available after communication abnormality occurs, then the user may be misled into thinking the function is still executable, but if the notification is stopped immediately, the user may not have time to recognize the change in function availability
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays a screen indicating that the function cannot be executed due to communication abnormality before stopping the availability notification. This preliminary action ensures the user is informed of the function's unavailability in advance, preventing misleading notifications while giving the user sufficient time to recognize the change in function status.
2Ease of operation
If multiple notification methods (indicator and image display) are used simultaneously, then the user can be notified through multiple channels, but the timing coordination between different notification methods becomes complex and may cause user confusion
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the notification logic for multiple notification methods into a unified control flow. Both the indicator notification and image display notification are coordinated through the same decision-making process, ensuring they are stopped or modified at the same time based on communication abnormality detection, thereby reducing complexity and preventing user confusion.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from the communication status to dynamically adjust the notification behavior. When communication abnormality is detected, the system feeds back this information to the notification control mechanism, which then coordinates the stopping or modification of both indicator and image display notifications consistently, ensuring synchronized notification management.

AI summary
A control device for a moving object, includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire authority information related to an execution authority of a predetermined function executable by the moving object; and a control unit configured to execute the predetermined function based on the authority information. In a case where the execution authority is enabled, the control unit issues a first notification notifying that the execution authority is enabled, stops the first notification in response to an abnormality occurring in acquiring the authority information in a state where a selection of the predetermined function is not made, and stops, in response to an abnormality occurring in acquiring the authority information in a state where a selection of the predetermined function is made, the first notification after cancelling the selection of the predetermined function.
