Vehicle Camera Connected Service via Server Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image capturing apparatuses for vehicles lack a comprehensive connected service that enables real-time communication and data exchange between the vehicle, a server, and user terminal devices, limiting the provision of meaningful information and control commands to users.
Innovation Solution
A method for providing a connected service that involves storing service subscription information, registering image capturing apparatuses for vehicles with a server, receiving and storing operation data, and transmitting notification messages and operation data to user terminal devices via a wireless communication network.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If image capturing apparatus for vehicle is equipped with communication functionality to enable connected service, then user convenience and information provision are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into three independent components: image capturing apparatus, server, and user terminal device. Each component has specific functions - the apparatus captures images and transmits them to the server, which processes and stores the data, and the user terminal device displays information and receives control commands. This segmentation reduces the complexity burden on any single device while enabling comprehensive connected service functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between the image capturing apparatus and the user terminal device. It receives operation data from the apparatus, processes the information, and transmits relevant data to the user terminal. This intermediary approach allows the user terminal to access vehicle information without requiring direct complex communication protocols between the apparatus and terminal, thereby simplifying the overall system architecture.
2Speed
If real-time communication between image capturing apparatus and user terminal device is enabled, then responsiveness and control capability are improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of continuous real-time communication, the system uses periodic transmission of operation data from the image capturing apparatus to the server. The apparatus transmits data at specific intervals or when significant events occur, rather than maintaining constant communication connections. This periodic action maintains system responsiveness for important events while significantly reducing overall energy consumption compared to continuous communication.
Solution Approach 2:
The server extracts and processes only the essential information from the operation data transmitted by the image capturing apparatus. Rather than transmitting all raw data continuously, the system extracts meaningful information (such as event occurrences, location changes, or operational status) and transmits only these processed insights to the user terminal. This extraction approach reduces the volume of data transmitted, thereby lowering energy consumption while maintaining effective communication for user control.
