Proximity-Based Vehicle Profile Retrieval System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in easily finding and purchasing physical objects, such as vehicles, that they have viewed or expressed interest in during in-person visits, due to the difficulty in linking online databases with physical locations.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that involve scanning vehicles at their locations, associating unique identification tags with each vehicle, and using user location data to provide vehicle profiles to user devices based on proximity, allowing users to easily access information about preferred vehicles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users search online to find vehicles viewed in person, then users can access vehicle information, but the process becomes time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting which vehicles the user has viewed in person through location tracking and proximity detection, then pre-prepares and provides the vehicle information before the user even searches for it online
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism (location-based detection system) that automatically links the physical vehicle viewing experience with the online information database, eliminating the need for manual searching
2Ease of operation
If users manually search online databases for vehicles viewed in person, then users can find vehicle profiles, but the operation becomes difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically performing the vehicle identification and information retrieval process without requiring user intervention - the system detects the user's location, identifies nearby vehicles, and provides relevant information automatically
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-identifying vehicles of interest to the user based on proximity detection, so when the user accesses the online platform, the relevant vehicle information is already prepared and easily accessible

AI summary
Computer-implemented techniques and systems for generating vehicle profiles may include scanning a plurality of vehicles, each vehicle located at a respective vehicle location, identifying respective vehicle locations for each of the plurality of vehicles, based on scanning the plurality of vehicles, associating a vehicle identification tag for each vehicle with its respective vehicle location, interpreting a signal to determine a user location, determining that the user location is within a threshold distance from a first vehicle location of a first vehicle from the plurality of vehicles, providing a first vehicle identification tag corresponding to the first vehicle based on determining that the user location is within the threshold distance, generating a first vehicle profile based on the first vehicle identification tag, and providing the first vehicle profile to a user device.
