Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If GPS data from multiple devices is analyzed to determine user positions and roles within a vehicle, then user identification accuracy is improved, but computational resources and processing time are increased
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by continuously monitoring GPS data and pre-establishing user roles and positions before access control decisions are needed. This allows the system to have user position and role information ready in advance, reducing computational burden during actual access control events while maintaining high identification accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The GPS data analysis system serves multiple functions: it determines user positions within the vehicle, identifies user roles (driver, passenger, etc.), and provides this information for access control decisions. By making the GPS analysis system multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for separate systems, thereby managing computational resources more efficiently while maintaining accurate user identification
2Adaptability or versatility
If GPS data analysis is used to determine user positions and control device functions, then system flexibility is improved, but processing time is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously analyzes GPS data in the background to pre-determine user positions and roles before access control or device function control is needed. This preliminary analysis enables the system to respond quickly when control decisions are required, reducing processing time while maintaining high flexibility in adapting to different user configurations
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically and continuously monitors GPS data from multiple devices,自行 determining user positions, roles, and appropriate device functions without requiring manual intervention. This self-service approach allows the system to maintain high flexibility in adapting to changing conditions while minimizing the time users need to wait for system responses
Data Source
AI summary
A method and system for determining a driver is provided. The method includes receiving and analyzing GPS data identifying locations of GPS enabled devices of a plurality of users. A group of users are determined to be located within a specified proximity to each other based on the analysis. The group of users are determined, based on an altitude, velocity, and a vector of the group of users, to be located within a vehicle. A position and role for each user with respect to the vehicle is determined. Selected functions of each GPS enabled device are controlled based on each role.
