Vehicle Identification Collation for Accurate Data Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing insurance information processing systems face challenges in accurately identifying the owner of a vehicle when vehicle information in the information provision device and the insurance company's server are updated at different times, leading to incorrect transmission of traveling data.
Innovation Solution
An information provision device that collects and collates vehicle registration and identification numbers to ensure accurate identification and transmission of traveling data, using a unique code string displayed on the vehicle's number plate and vehicle identification number, and acquiring position information to prevent data transmission when the vehicle's parking position changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If vehicle information is updated individually at different times in the information provision device and insurance company's server, then information freshness is improved, but owner identification accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing multiple types of vehicle information (registration number, identification number, owner name, address) in advance before the actual data transmission. This allows the information provision device to have a complete set of reference data ready, enabling accurate matching even when the insurance company's server has outdated information.
Solution Approach 2:
The information provision device acts as an intermediary between the vehicle data sources and the insurance company's server. It collects vehicle information from multiple sources, stores it locally, and uses this stored information as a mediator to accurately identify vehicles and their owners during data transmission, resolving the timing mismatch between different systems.
2Ease of operation
If only vehicle registration number is used for identification, then identification simplicity is improved, but identification accuracy deteriorates due to potential mismatches
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple identification elements (vehicle registration number, vehicle identification number, owner name, and owner address) into a comprehensive identification approach. By combining these different types of information, the system achieves high identification accuracy while maintaining operational simplicity, as the multi-criteria matching is automated.
Solution Approach 2:
The information provision device performs multiple functions: it collects vehicle information from various sources, stores it in a database, matches it with transmission requests using multiple criteria, and transmits the correct data. This multi-functional approach allows the system to handle identification accurately without requiring complex manual verification processes.
Data Source
AI summary
An information provision device includes a processor that collects traveling data of object vehicles, provides traveling data, and collates object vehicle information for each object vehicle with designation information from an external device and identify an object vehicle from which the traveling data should be provided. The processor collates an object vehicle registration number being a vehicle registration number of the object vehicle included in the object vehicle information with a designated vehicle registration number being a vehicle registration number indicated by the designation information, and identifies an object vehicle whose object vehicle registration number coincides with the designated vehicle registration number. The vehicle registration number is a unique code string for identifying each vehicle while associating the vehicle with an owner of the vehicle. The processor transmits, to the external device, traveling data about the object vehicle identified.
