Server-Based Vehicle Information Access Control for Non-Driver Users
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle technologies generate large amounts of driving information that cannot be safely or sufficiently conveyed to drivers, and current systems provide all occupants with the same information, causing inconvenience for non-drivers who need to access only relevant data.
Innovation Solution
A system and method where a server device manages user registrations and permissions, allowing non-drivers to select and receive specific driving information from a vehicle through a terminal, based on their assigned role, reducing data overload and improving relevance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all driving information is provided to all occupants, then information completeness is improved, but information relevance and user convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments information access by creating distinct user roles (driver, navigator, monitor, etc.) with different permission levels. Each role can select and access only the information items relevant to their function, thereby maintaining information completeness for each user while improving relevance and convenience through role-based segmentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by allowing different users to have different information access rights based on their roles. Instead of uniform information distribution, each user receives information tailored to their specific needs and responsibilities, optimizing the information quality for each local user context.
2Ease of operation
If role-based access control is implemented, then information relevance is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server device performs multiple functions including user registration, role assignment, information item management, and permission control within a single system. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity by consolidating what could be separate complex subsystems into one unified platform.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses information items as copyable data objects that can be selectively assigned to different roles and users. This copying mechanism simplifies permission management compared to creating separate information streams for each user, reducing system complexity while maintaining information relevance.
Data Source
AI summary
A method of a server device is provided. The method includes receiving, from a first terminal of a first user, a registration request to register a second user so as to have access to information provided by a vehicle, registering the second user based on the registration request, receiving an information selection request for selecting one or more information items from among the information provided by the vehicle and to which the second user is permitted access based on the registering, and performing control so that the one or more information items is transmitted to the second terminal, based on the received information selection request.
