Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Users face a burden when exiting a vehicle due to mental tension during driving, making it cumbersome to input an action plan for autonomous exit, especially since they are preoccupied with driving.

Innovation Solution

A control device and method that allows the reception of an action plan during parking control, enabling autonomous exit control based on the received plan, either pre-input or input during exit, reducing user burden by simplifying the exit process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the user inputs the action plan during exit control, then the exit control can be performed based on user input, but the user burden increases due to mental tension during driving

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveexit control accuracyVSAvoiduser burden

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system receives and stores the action plan during parking control, which is performed before the exit operation. This preliminary action allows the user to input the action plan when mentally relaxed, and the stored plan is automatically executed during exit control, eliminating the need for re-input and reducing user burden while maintaining control accuracy

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If the system automatically determines exit direction, then user burden is reduced, but the adaptability to user preferences decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser burdenVSAvoidexit direction customization

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system prompts the user to input their preferred exit direction during parking control, before the actual exit operation. This preliminary input captures user preferences and intentions, allowing the system to automatically execute the customized action plan during exit without requiring real-time user input, thus reducing burden while maintaining adaptability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides feedback to the user by displaying the received action plan during parking control, allowing the user to confirm or modify their input. This feedback mechanism ensures that the automated execution during exit control accurately reflects user preferences, maintaining adaptability while reducing operational burden

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A control device of a moving object includes: a controller configured to perform parking control and exit control of the moving object and receive an action plan of the exit control. The controller is configured to receive the action plan in advance during the parking control; when the action plan is not received in advance during the exit control, the controller receives the action plan and performs the exit control based on the received action plan; and when the action plan is received in advance during the exit control, the controller performs the exit control based on the action plan received in advance.
