Vehicle Image Data Access Control via Device Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle driving image recording apparatuses lack effective access control, allowing unauthorized users to view or delete recorded images, particularly in scenarios like valet parking, where password protection is cumbersome and may fail.
Innovation Solution
An image data access control apparatus for vehicles, comprising a storage unit, a communicator, an authentication processor, and a controller, which authenticates user devices and determines access rights through a vehicle network, using technologies like NFC, Bluetooth, and RFID, to ensure only registered users can access image data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If password protection is used in recording files, then image data security is improved, but user operation convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an authentication processor as an intermediary component that handles security verification separately from the main controller. This mediator authenticates user devices through communication interfaces (Bluetooth, NFC, RFID) and relieves the main controller from direct password management, thereby maintaining security while simplifying user interaction through automated authentication processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service authentication by allowing user devices to automatically authenticate with the image data access control apparatus through wireless communication technologies. The authentication processor independently verifies user devices against stored authentication information, eliminating the need for manual password input and enabling users to access their image data conveniently through device-based authentication.
2Ease of operation
If automated authentication system is implemented, then user convenience is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the authentication system into distinct functional modules: an authentication processor dedicated to verification tasks, separate communication interfaces for different wireless technologies (Bluetooth, NFC, RFID), and a controller that manages overall operations. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently, reducing the complexity burden on any single component while providing comprehensive automated authentication capabilities.
