Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Vehicle lending services face inefficiencies due to mismatched vehicle types and user licenses, as well as language and regulatory barriers for foreign users, leading to unnecessary costs and limited service availability.
Innovation Solution
A control device that obtains user information to dynamically adjust vehicle settings, such as engine displacement, language, and information presentation, based on user attributes, enabling flexible configuration and improved usability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If agencies hold a wide variety of vehicles in large numbers to accommodate different driver's license types, then service availability is improved, but vehicle utilization efficiency deteriorates due to unused vehicles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of vehicle parameters (engine displacement, power output) based on real-time user information such as driver's license type. This allows a single vehicle to adapt its characteristics to match different user qualifications, eliminating the need to maintain multiple static vehicle configurations and improving utilization efficiency while maintaining service availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes physical parameters of the vehicle (engine displacement, motor output) based on user attributes. By dynamically modifying these parameters according to the user's driver's license type and other information, the vehicle can serve different user categories without requiring separate vehicle fleets, thus resolving the contradiction between versatility and productivity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If agencies maintain multiple vehicle types to match different driver's license types, then compatibility with user qualifications is improved, but operational complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes a single vehicle multi-functional by enabling it to operate in different modes (different engine displacements, power outputs) based on user qualifications. This universal design allows one vehicle to replace multiple specialized vehicles, reducing operational complexity while maintaining compatibility with various driver's license types.
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle system dynamically adjusts its operational parameters based on real-time user information input. This dynamic adaptability eliminates the need for complex manual vehicle selection and configuration processes, as the system automatically configures itself to match the user's qualifications, thereby reducing operational complexity.
3Reliability
If foreign visitors are required to understand local language and regulations to rent vehicles, then regulatory compliance is improved, but service accessibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an information presentation system that acts as an intermediary between regulatory requirements and foreign users. This system provides translated information, multilingual interfaces, and automated compliance checking, allowing foreign visitors to rent vehicles without fluently understanding the local language while ensuring regulatory compliance is maintained through automated verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements automated information presentation and compliance verification that reduces the need for foreign users to actively understand local regulations. The vehicle system automatically presents relevant information in the user's language and verifies compliance requirements, enabling self-service rental processes that are both accessible to foreigners and compliant with local regulations.
