Vehicle Communication System for Proximity-Based Personal Data Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
It is challenging for people to meet others with similar interests, desires, or wants in a convenient location, as existing methods like internet websites require internet access and are not easily accessible on-the-go, and current vehicle communication systems do not facilitate direct, efficient matching of individuals within close proximity.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle communication system equipped with a host vehicle two-way communication device, personal data storage component, and personal data matching component that enables direct short-range communication between vehicles, allowing users to broadcast and match personal data within a broadcast area, facilitating connections for shared interests, desires, or wants.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If internet websites are used to meet people with similar interests, then people can access information about others with similar interests, but internet access is required and it is difficult to meet the correct person in a convenient location
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a vehicle-to-vehicle communication system as an intermediary that enables direct data exchange between vehicles without requiring internet access. The system uses dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) technology to transmit personal data and profile information between vehicles in proximity, serving as a mediator that eliminates the need for external internet connectivity while maintaining the ability to share and match personal information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent shifts the communication paradigm from centralized internet-based access to decentralized peer-to-peer vehicle-to-vehicle communication. By adding the dimension of direct wireless communication between vehicles, the system enables personal data exchange in a new spatial context (within broadcast area of host vehicle) without requiring connection to the broader internet infrastructure.
2Loss of information
If mobile cell phones are used to access internet, then people can access websites, but the small screens and small buttons make them difficult to use
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle communication system acts as an intermediary interface between the user and the data exchange process. Instead of requiring users to manually navigate small cell phone screens and buttons, the system automatically broadcasts personal data and performs matching operations, with results presented through the vehicle's communication interface, thereby eliminating the operational difficulties of mobile device interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service operation by automatically broadcasting the host vehicle user's personal data and autonomously comparing it with received data from other vehicles. The matching process occurs automatically without requiring manual input or navigation through complex interfaces, allowing the system to serve itself and the user without the operational constraints of mobile phone interfaces.
3Loss of information
If computers are used to access internet, then people can access websites, but most people do not carry a computer wherever they go
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds the computing and communication capabilities directly into the vehicle, transforming the portable device paradigm. Instead of requiring users to carry external computing devices (computers or smartphones), the vehicle itself becomes the computing platform, with the communication system integrated into the vehicle's infrastructure, thereby eliminating the portability constraint while maintaining full data access and processing capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle communication system serves multiple functions: it acts as a computer for data processing, a communication device for data transmission, and a matching system for comparing personal data. By integrating these functions into the vehicle, the system eliminates the need for separate portable devices, as the vehicle itself provides universal access to personal data exchange and matching capabilities.
4Ease of operation
If DSRC technology is used for vehicle communication, then direct short range communication between vehicles is enabled, but the system requires broadcasting and receiving data within limited broadcast area
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by optimizing the communication system for the specific local context of vehicle-to-vehicle interaction within broadcast area. The system is designed to efficiently broadcast and receive data only within the relevant local zone (broadcast area of host vehicle), rather than attempting universal coverage. This local-focused approach enhances communication efficiency and matches the actual spatial needs of the application.
Data Source
AI summary
A vehicle communication system is provided to facilitate meeting our people in nearby or neighboring cars with similar interests, desires or wants. The vehicle communication system has a host vehicle two way communication device, a host vehicle personal data storage component and a host vehicle personal data matching component. The host vehicle two way communication device conducts direct short range communications in a host vehicle broadcast area surrounding a host vehicle. The host vehicle personal data storage component broadcasts at least some of a host vehicle user's personal data and receives nearby user's desired profile requirement via the host vehicle two way communication device. The host vehicle personal data matching component compares host vehicle user's desired profile requirement that is based on the host vehicle user's personal data with the nearby user's desired profile requirement.
