Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a growing need for display devices to be interlocked with vehicles to enable remote control of vehicles, particularly in the context of advanced autonomous driving technologies, where existing solutions fail to provide seamless pairing and control between vehicles and display devices, especially when the display device is not physically coupled to the vehicle.
Innovation Solution
A device and method for interlocking a display device with a vehicle, featuring a mount with sliding members and a connector for electrical signal transmission, along with a coupling mechanism that includes elastic members and switches to detect attachment/detachment, allowing control through wireless communication even when the display device is not physically attached.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the display device is physically coupled to the vehicle through a mount and connector, then reliable electrical signal transmission is achieved, but the device complexity and attachment/detachment operation become more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling mechanism is divided into separate components: a mount structure fixed to the vehicle, a display device with coupling part, sliding members for movement, and fasteners for securing. This segmentation allows each component to have a specific function while simplifying the overall attachment and detachment process.
Solution Approach 2:
A connector acts as an intermediary component between the mount and the display device, enabling electrical signal transmission without requiring direct rigid connection. The sliding members serve as intermediaries to facilitate smooth attachment and detachment movements.
2Reliability
If the display device is physically attached to the vehicle, then stable control connection is established, but the ease of operation for attachment and detachment is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling mechanism incorporates sliding members that can move forward and backward, and fasteners that can be engaged and disengaged, transforming a static rigid connection into a dynamic adjustable system. This allows easy attachment by sliding and fastening, and easy detachment by reversing the process.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic members automatically exert force to maintain the engaged state of fasteners, and the sliding members automatically move to appropriate positions during attachment, reducing the manual effort required for operation.
3Ease of operation
If wireless communication is used for remote control when detached, then user convenience is improved, but the reliability of vehicle control may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system supports multiple operating modes: wired control when physically coupled and wireless control when detached. This multi-functionality allows the same display device to maintain control capabilities in both attached and detached states, ensuring reliability while providing convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
Switches detect whether the display device is attached or detached and provide feedback to the control system, enabling the system to automatically adjust between wired and wireless control modes to maintain reliable vehicle control regardless of physical connection state.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables remote control of vehicles by establishing a reliable interlocking state through wireless communication, ensuring vehicle control is maintained even when the display device is detached, enhancing user convenience and autonomy in vehicle operation.
Implementation Method 1
The second sliding member may include a first elastic member arranged to exert an elastic force when the display device is attached to and detached from the mount
Implementation Method 2
a connector provided to the first sliding member, wherein the connector may transmit and receive electrical signals to and from the display device

AI summary
Disclosed herein is a device for interlocking a display device with a vehicle, the device including a mount disposed in the vehicle, the display device being attached to and detached from the mount, a first sliding member disposed on a front surface of the mount and capable of moving forward or backward in a direction perpendicular to a rear surface of the display device, and a connector provided to the first sliding member, wherein the connector may transmit and receive electrical signals to and from the display device. The vehicle may be controlled by coupling a display device to the interlocking device disposed in the vehicle. Even when the display device is not coupled to the vehicle, the vehicle may be controlled by pairing through wireless communication between the vehicle and the display device.
