Vehicle Data Collection Feedback for Request Fulfillment Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data collection systems for vehicle traveling state data lack the ability to collect data in response to specific requests and display the fulfillment status of these requests, which reduces the motivation of data collectors to efficiently gather and provide the required data.
Innovation Solution
A data processing apparatus and system that includes a communicator to receive request data, an acquisition unit to collect traveling state data, and an output controller to display the acquisition status, allowing for the transmission of request data from a server to a data processing apparatus in a vehicle, which then acquires and outputs the data and its fulfillment status.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing data collection systems are used, then data can be collected, but the ability to collect data in response to specific requests and display fulfillment status is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism by displaying the fulfillment status of data collection requests to the data collector. The output controller presents information about which requests have been fulfilled and which remain pending, providing real-time feedback that enables the collector to track progress and understand the impact of their data collection activities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments data collection into discrete requests with individual fulfillment statuses. Each request is treated as a separate task that can be independently tracked, allowing the collector to see which specific requests have been satisfied and which require further data collection efforts.
2Productivity
If no fulfillment status display is provided, then system complexity remains low, but motivation of data collectors to efficiently gather data decreases
Solution Approach 1:
By providing visual feedback on request fulfillment status, the system motivates data collectors to improve their efficiency. The display shows collectors which requests have been fulfilled and which remain, creating a sense of progress and accomplishment that encourages continued efficient data collection.
Solution Approach 2:
The output controller acts as an intermediary between the data collection system and the collector, translating raw fulfillment status data into motivational information. This intermediary layer adds minimal complexity while significantly improving collector motivation and productivity.
3Productivity
If real-time feedback on data collection progress is provided, then motivation and efficiency improve, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides real-time feedback through the output controller, which continuously updates the fulfillment status display as data is collected. This real-time information flow keeps collectors motivated and informed without requiring complex infrastructure, as it leverages existing communication channels between the collection apparatus and display system.
Data Source
AI summary
A data processing apparatus includes a communicator, an acquisition unit, and an output controller. The communicator is configured to receive request data from a server. The request data contains a content of a request for collection of traveling state data of a vehicle. The acquisition unit is configured to acquire the traveling state data of the vehicle on the basis of the request data received by the communicator. The output controller is configured to cause an output device to output an acquisition status of the traveling state data acquired by the acquiring unit.
