Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle control systems inflexibly determine instructions based on distance and positional relationship between a mobile communications device and a vehicle, often contradicting user behavioral patterns.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle control system that includes a mobile terminal, a receiving portion in the vehicle, a vehicle location detecting portion, a controlling portion, and a memory portion to store and apply user behavioral pattern information, allowing for dynamic control of vehicle apparatuses based on both positional relationships and user habits.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If predetermined instructions are determined inflexibly based on distance and positional relationship, then the control system is simple to operate, but the control accuracy and user satisfaction deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from static, predetermined instructions to dynamic control that adapts to user behavioral patterns. The controlling portion automatically adjusts vehicle apparatus operations based on learned user behaviors, making the system both easy to operate (no manual programming needed) and accurate (adapted to individual user preferences).
Solution Approach 2:
The memory portion automatically learns and stores user behavioral patterns without requiring explicit user programming. The system serves itself by observing and adapting to user preferences, eliminating the need for complex user setup while achieving high control accuracy tailored to individual users.
2Speed
If vehicle apparatuses are controlled continuously to maintain readiness, then the responsiveness is improved, but the energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses behavioral pattern information to determine when vehicle apparatuses need to be active. Instead of continuous operation, apparatuses are controlled periodically or on-demand based on predicted user needs, maintaining responsiveness while reducing energy consumption during non-use periods.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by predicting when vehicle apparatuses will be needed based on user behavioral patterns. This allows the vehicle to prepare in advance (maintaining responsiveness) while avoiding continuous operation (reducing energy consumption) by activating apparatuses only when predicted to be needed.
3Manufacturing precision
If behavioral pattern information is stored and processed, then the control accuracy is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates simplified copies of user behavioral patterns in the memory portion. Instead of complex real-time analysis, the system stores and retrieves behavioral pattern data that captures essential user preferences, achieving high control accuracy with relatively simple data structures and processing logic.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the system adapts to individual user behaviors, then the adaptability is improved, but the data management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The memory portion serves multiple functions: storing behavioral patterns, predicting user needs, and controlling vehicle apparatuses. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized systems, achieving high adaptability while managing data complexity through a unified data management approach.

AI summary
A disclosed vehicle control system comprises a mobile terminal that transmits a current location of the mobile terminal; a receiving portion that is installed in a vehicle and receives the current location transmitted from the mobile terminal; a vehicle location detecting portion that detects a current location of the vehicle; a controlling portion that controls a vehicle apparatus installed in the vehicle in accordance with a positional relationship between the current position of the mobile terminal received by the receiving portion and the current location of the vehicle detected by the vehicle location detecting portion; and a memory portion that stores behavioral pattern information of a user of the vehicle. The controlling portion controls the vehicle apparatus in accordance with the behavioral pattern information stored in the memory portion and the positional relationship between the current location of the mobile terminal and the current location of the vehicle.
