In-Vehicle Location Sharing via Infotainment Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle location sharing methods require cumbersome mobile phone operations while driving, posing safety risks and increasing the risk of location information leakage due to the use of sharing codes.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle location sharing method and system that allows for convenient location sharing using an in-vehicle terminal, displaying a function interface, receiving a trigger operation, and transmitting location sharing messages to associated accounts, eliminating the need for mobile phone-based operations and reducing data interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If location sharing is performed using mobile phone operations while driving, then location sharing functionality is achieved, but driving safety deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the location sharing operation from the mobile phone and relocates it to the vehicle's infotainment system. The sharing code generation and location sharing initiation are performed through the vehicle's touchscreen interface, allowing the driver to complete location sharing without handling the mobile phone, thus maintaining driving safety while achieving the location sharing function
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle's infotainment system acts as an intermediary between the driver and the mobile phone location sharing function. The system generates sharing codes through the vehicle terminal, transmits them via the vehicle's communication modules, and manages the entire location sharing process, eliminating the need for direct mobile phone operation by the driver
2Productivity
If sharing codes are used for location sharing, then location information can be transmitted, but the risk of location information leakage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-generating sharing codes through the vehicle terminal before the actual location sharing is needed. The codes are created and managed securely within the vehicle's system, and the location sharing is initiated directly from the vehicle terminal, eliminating the need to manually transmit codes through potentially insecure channels
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the vehicle terminal monitors and manages the sharing code lifecycle, including generation, transmission, and expiration. The system provides real-time feedback on location sharing status and automatically revokes access when conditions change, reducing the window of opportunity for unauthorized access

AI summary
A vehicle location sharing method enables real-time location sharing of the vehicle that can improve the safety of a user driving the vehicle. A function interface is displayed that provides a location function. A trigger operation is received on the location sharing function, and a candidate account list is displayed based on the trigger application. The candidate account list includes a candidate account that has an association relationship with a first account. A selection operation is received on a second account and a a location sharing result is displayed in response to the selection operation. This provides a convenient operation to share location information without use of cumbersome operations, such as through the use of a mobile phone.
