Vehicle Code Scanning for Real-Time Route Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for methods and systems that allow vehicle operators to obtain information while the vehicle is in motion, such as road conditions, to enhance the vehicle experience and improve route selection and in-vehicle experiences through real-time data and third-party content.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that uses QR codes or similar codes to establish connections with services via URLs, allowing vehicles to receive and act on real-time data, including alerts, commercial establishment information, road conditions, and navigation instructions, by controlling the vehicle's route and providing payment services.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the vehicle operator manually checks road conditions and navigation information while driving, then information accuracy may be maintained, but the operator's attention is diverted from the road, reducing safety
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic acquisition of road condition information, parking availability, and navigation data through QR code scanning and wireless communication, allowing the vehicle to obtain and process information autonomously without requiring manual intervention from the operator
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously receives real-time data about road conditions, traffic congestion, and parking availability, processing this information and providing automated updates to the operator through the user interface, ensuring information is current without requiring active monitoring
2Loss of information
If the vehicle is equipped with advanced sensors and communication systems to automatically obtain real-time information, then safety and information accuracy are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a multi-functional approach where the QR code scanning capability serves multiple purposes: obtaining road condition information, finding parking locations, accessing commercial establishment data, and receiving navigation instructions, thereby reducing the need for separate specialized systems
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a remote server as an intermediary that consolidates multiple information sources (road conditions, parking availability, commercial data) and communicates with the vehicle through a standardized interface, simplifying the architecture by centralizing data processing externally rather than requiring complex local processing for each data type
3Adaptability or versatility
If the vehicle scans and processes multiple types of service data (alerts, road conditions, parking information), then the versatility of the system is improved, but the processing time and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-processes and filters service data received from the remote server, prioritizing critical information (such as safety alerts and road closures) over less urgent data (such as parking availability), allowing the vehicle to respond to important events quickly while still maintaining the ability to process broader information sets when time permits
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different processing priorities and levels of detail to different types of service data based on their importance and time-sensitivity, with critical safety-related data receiving immediate full processing while less urgent information undergoes simplified processing or is queued for later analysis
Data Source
AI summary
A method for facilitating uses of a code for vehicle experiences includes receiving code data from the code in a sign. The sign is disposed outside a host vehicle. The method further includes establishing a connection with a service using the code data obtained from the code and in response to establishing the connection with the service, receiving service data. The service data includes information about the service. The method further includes, in response to receiving the service data, controlling the host vehicle according to the service data received after establishing the connection with the service.
