Vehicle Processing Device for In-Transit Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing procedures for users moving to predetermined locations and performing specific tasks, such as immigration or reservation procedures, are complex and inefficient, lacking streamlined authentication and verification processes.
Innovation Solution
A processing device and method that identifies users upon entry into a vehicle, guarantees their boarded state, and transmits necessary information for authentication to external devices at designated locations, allowing for the completion of procedures while the user is in transit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a user performs authentication procedures at a predetermined location (e.g., immigration or reservation desk), then the procedure can be completed with proper verification, but the user must travel to and wait at that location, increasing loss of time and reducing productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs authentication procedures in advance while the user is still in the vehicle, before arriving at the destination. The processing device identifies the user upon vehicle entry, verifies their boarded state, and completes authentication procedures during transit, so that when the user arrives at the destination, the authentication is already complete
Solution Approach 2:
A processing device installed in the vehicle acts as an intermediary between the user and the external authentication system. This device captures user information, verifies boarded state through camera monitoring, and transmits data to external devices, enabling authentication to occur remotely during transit rather than requiring physical presence at the authentication location
2Productivity
If authentication procedures are performed in advance during vehicle transit, then loss of time is reduced and productivity improves, but the system complexity increases due to additional processing devices and boarded state verification mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The processing device in the vehicle serves multiple functions: it identifies users upon entry, monitors boarded state through camera systems, captures user information, and transmits data to external authentication systems. By consolidating these functions into a single multi-functional device, the system reduces overall complexity compared to having separate dedicated systems for each function
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically performs authentication procedures without requiring user intervention at the authentication location. The processing device autonomously identifies the user, verifies their boarded state, and completes the authentication process, reducing the need for manual operations and simplifying the user experience
3Reliability
If the system guarantees boarded state through continuous monitoring, then reliability of authentication is improved, but the device complexity and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The camera system monitors the user's boarded state at periodic intervals rather than continuously. The processing device checks whether the user is present in the camera field of view at scheduled moments during transit, which reduces energy consumption compared to continuous monitoring while still maintaining reliable verification of boarded state
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs boarded state verification at key moments: when the user enters the vehicle and at periodic intervals during transit. By checking boarded state at these predetermined points rather than continuously, the system maintains reliability while minimizing energy consumption
Data Source
AI summary
A processing device includes a control unit configured to perform: identifying a user when the user enters a vehicle and performing a process of guaranteeing a boarded state of the user while the user is in the vehicle; receiving information on a predetermined procedure for performing an authentication process from the user; and transmitting user information which is required for performing the predetermined procedure as information on the user of whom the boarded state in the vehicle is guaranteed to an external device that is installed at a first place for the predetermined procedure in a state in which the boarded state of the user is guaranteed.
