Vehicle Container Activation for Stable AR-HUD Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional head-up displays (HUDs) in vehicles are limited in interacting with real-world objects and do not effectively utilize real-time vehicle sensor data to provide a dynamic human interface, requiring new devices like augmented reality HUDs to be installed with stability and authority setting issues related to data use.
Innovation Solution
A method for activating new devices in vehicles using a data-centered architecture based on containers, where the system detects and identifies new devices, requests and installs necessary containers from a server, and controls their execution, allowing for real-time sensor data integration without relying on vehicle-dedicated networks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a new device is added to the vehicle, then the device functionality is improved, but the system stability is degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments device functionality into isolated container environments. Each new device runs in its own container with defined resource limits and access controls, preventing system-wide instability while maintaining device functionality. The container architecture allows individual device failures to be contained without affecting other systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a container management system as an intermediary between new devices and the vehicle's core systems. This mediator handles device activation, resource allocation, and data access requests, ensuring that new devices integrate smoothly without compromising system stability through direct connections.
2Speed
If direct network connection is used for data collection, then data access speed is improved, but system stability is degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The container management system acts as an intermediary layer between devices and vehicle networks. It provides controlled data access through standardized interfaces, maintaining fast data retrieval while preventing direct network connections that could cause stability issues. The mediator manages data requests and ensures proper authentication and authorization.
3Device complexity
If conventional HUD is used, then device simplicity is maintained, but real-time interaction capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from static conventional HUD to dynamic AR-HUD capabilities through container-based device activation. Containers enable real-time processing of sensor data and dynamic generation of augmented reality overlays, allowing the display to adapt and interact with the real world while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture.
4Ease of manufacture
If new device is installed without container activation, then installation simplicity is improved, but authority setting problems occur
Solution Approach 1:
The container management system provides self-service functionality for device activation and configuration. When a new device is installed, the system automatically detects it, retrieves appropriate containers from the server, and activates them with proper authority settings. This automation eliminates manual authority configuration while maintaining installation simplicity.
Data Source
AI summary
A method of activating a new device in a vehicle based on a container includes: detecting the new device mounted in the vehicle using an interface implemented in the vehicle, identifying the detected new device, transmitting, to a server, (i) a request for a container for controlling an execution of the identified new device and (ii) information obtained by one or more sensors implemented in the vehicle, receiving, from the server, a container package including at least one container that is retrieved in the server in response to the request for the container, and controlling the execution of the new device by activating the at least one container.
