Integrated Vehicle Door Control System with Concealed Push Button
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current remote door opening systems require multiple remote controls for different doors, which are cumbersome to carry and manage, especially in vehicles like motorcycles, and lack security as they can be easily stolen or confused, leading to unauthorized access.
Innovation Solution
A device integrates multiple remote control commands for automatic doors into a vehicle, with a push button and complementary keyboard for secure activation, using a connection cable hose and electronic card to conceal and protect the commands, allowing access through a single accessible button.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple remote control commands are carried by the user for different automatic doors, then each door can be opened, but the device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to the need to carry and identify multiple remotes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple remote control commands into a single integrated system. The vehicle's electronic control unit stores and manages multiple coded commands that correspond to different automatic doors, allowing the user to open multiple doors using one remote control device rather than carrying separate remotes for each door.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote control system is designed with multi-functionality to perform multiple operations. A single remote control device can issue different coded commands for various automatic doors, making one device universal for opening multiple different doors instead of requiring specialized remotes for each door.
2Ease of operation
If remote control commands are kept accessible in the vehicle, then ease of operation improves, but security deteriorates as theft or unauthorized access becomes more likely
Solution Approach 1:
The remote control command system is nested within the vehicle's existing electronic architecture. The coded commands are integrated into the vehicle's electronic control unit, which already requires authentication (such as ignition key verification) to access, thereby providing security while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle's electronic control unit acts as an intermediary between the remote control button and the door opening mechanism. It verifies authentication and processes the coded commands, providing a security layer that prevents unauthorized access while allowing convenient operation by authorized users.
3Reliability
If the remote control command is integrated in the vehicle, then security improves by concealing the command, but device complexity increases due to additional integration components
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle's existing electronic control unit is utilized to perform multiple functions: it stores the coded remote control commands, processes authentication, and controls the door opening mechanism. This eliminates the need for separate dedicated hardware for each function, reducing overall system complexity despite the integration requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle's electronic system serves itself by utilizing its existing infrastructure (power supply, processing unit, communication interfaces) to implement the remote door opening functionality. This self-service approach minimizes the need for additional external components and reduces integration complexity.
