Vehicle Door and Window Control Reset After Command Interference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In autonomous vehicles, interference between user operations and autonomous driving system operations for doors and windows can lead to uncertainty about whether a stopped operation is a continuous or new request, causing operational confusion.
Innovation Solution
An autonomous driving system transmits an 'operation command indicating no request' to a vehicle control interface box when control interference occurs, allowing the interface box to differentiate between continuous and new requests.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the autonomous driving system continues transmitting operation commands without interruption, then the system maintains continuous control authority, but the vehicle control interface box cannot distinguish between continuous requests and new requests after operation stoppage
Solution Approach 1:
The autonomous driving system transmits a preliminary 'no request' command before potentially issuing new commands after operation stoppage. This preliminary action resets the command state in the vehicle control interface box, enabling it to distinguish subsequent new requests from continuous requests. The 'no request' command serves as a state-clearing signal that prepares the system for unambiguous command interpretation.
2Productivity
If the vehicle control interface box receives multiple operation commands during interference, then it processes all incoming commands, but operational confusion occurs due to inability to determine command priority and timing
Solution Approach 1:
The 'no request' command acts as an intermediary signal between the autonomous driving system and the vehicle control interface box during interference scenarios. This intermediary command clears the command buffer state and establishes a clear temporal boundary, allowing the interface box to process subsequent commands without confusion about their origin or priority. The intermediary signal resolves the ambiguity without reducing overall command processing capability.

AI summary
An ADK determines whether or not a subject device has stopped operation due to control interference caused by a user operation and an ADK operation that were simultaneously performed. When the ADK determines that the subject device has stopped operation due to control interference caused by the user operation and the ADK operation that were simultaneously performed, the ADK transmits to a VP (VCIB), a control request (an operation command) indicating “no request (No request)” corresponding to the subject device that has stopped operation.
