Vehicle Lock Control Using Speed Thresholds to Prevent Sudden Locking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing smart vehicle locking systems face issues with accidental locking during riding, leading to potential accidents and inconvenience, as they rely on user-initiated return instructions which can be misjudged, resulting in sudden locking operations.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus with a main control circuit and a switch lock execution component that determines vehicle movement speed and automatically locks the vehicle when the speed is within a preset threshold, preventing illegal riding and ensuring safe locking operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If automatic locking is triggered when user is riding the vehicle, then vehicle resource protection is improved, but user safety deteriorates due to dangerous accidents
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of locking trigger condition from user action-based (return instruction) to vehicle state-based (movement detection). By detecting whether the vehicle is in motion through sensors and comparing against predefined motion criteria, the system automatically determines locking eligibility, eliminating the risk of accidental locking during riding while ensuring resource protection when vehicle is stationary
2Ease of operation
If vehicle lock is controlled by user terminal return instruction, then user convenience is improved, but system reliability deteriorates due to misjudgment of return demand
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring vehicle motion state and using this information to verify or override user return instructions. When the vehicle is detected to be in motion, the system provides feedback that prevents locking despite return instructions, ensuring accurate judgment of actual return status rather than relying solely on user input
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting vehicle return status through motion sensors and autonomously controlling the locking mechanism. This eliminates dependence on user terminal instructions, preventing misjudgment of return demand while maintaining ease of use through automated decision-making
3Ease of operation
If manual locking operation is required after riding, then user control is improved, but time efficiency deteriorates due to additional operation steps
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting when the vehicle has been returned (through motion state monitoring) and autonomously executing the locking operation. This eliminates the need for manual user intervention, reducing time loss while maintaining appropriate user control through the ability to initiate return processes
4Reliability
If sudden locking operation is executed based on misjudged return instruction, then vehicle security is improved, but user safety deteriorates due to dangerous accidents
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies preliminary anti-action by proactively detecting vehicle motion state before executing locking operations. By continuously monitoring motion parameters and establishing motion-based blocking criteria, the system prevents sudden locking operations when the vehicle is in motion, countering potential harmful effects before they can occur

AI summary
An apparatus and method for controlling a vehicle lock and a vehicle may be provided. The apparatus may include a main control circuit and a switch lock execution component. The main control circuit may be configured to determine a movement speed of the vehicle when the vehicle is in an unlocked state and is moved illegally. The main control circuit may be also configured to power on the switch lock execution component and control the switch lock execution component to lock a vehicle lock when the movement speed is greater than zero and less than a preset threshold. The switch lock execution component may be configured to execute a locking operation under control of the main control circuit after the switch lock execution component is powered on. According to the present disclosure, when the vehicle is moved illegally and the movement speed of the vehicle is greater than zero and less than the preset threshold, then locking operation may be executed so as to reduce a probability of occurrence of a dangerous accident.
