Vehicle Map Display Automatic Destination Registration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image display apparatuses in vehicles often require direct control from external devices, which can be dangerous during driving, and lack intuitive methods for setting or changing destinations or travel routes without interfering with the driver's focus.
Innovation Solution
An image display apparatus with a communication unit to access external devices, a controller to determine geographical locations, and a display unit to output map data, allowing for setting or changing destinations or travel routes through touch inputs and map data sharing, enabling safe and efficient navigation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If direct control of the image display apparatus by the external device is implemented, then the user can quickly set or change destinations and travel routes, but the driver's safety is compromised due to distraction during driving
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an automatic destination registration function that acts as an intermediary between the external device and the image display apparatus. When the external device connects to the image display apparatus, the system automatically registers the destination without requiring manual input from the driver. This intermediary automation mechanism enables quick destination setting while eliminating the need for driver interaction, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and driver safety.
2Reliability
If manual input methods are used to set destinations, then driver attention is maintained on the road, but the time required to set destinations and travel routes increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by automatically registering destinations and travel routes in advance through the external device connection. The system pre-processes the destination information transfer without requiring real-time manual input from the driver. This preliminary automation reduces the time needed for destination setting while allowing the driver to maintain full attention on the road, thus resolving the contradiction between driving safety and time efficiency.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the image display apparatus uses different vendor equipment than the external device, then system compatibility is reduced, but control safety is improved by preventing direct external control
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by implementing a standardized communication interface and automatic destination registration function that works across different vendor devices. The image display apparatus is designed to universally accept destination information from various external devices through a common protocol, enabling automatic registration regardless of the external device manufacturer. This multi-functional approach maintains control safety by preventing direct external control while enhancing device compatibility through universal interoperability.
