In-Vehicle User Profile Transfer for Stable Automatic Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional in-vehicle devices require users to pre-create information for new users, leading to unintended operation of automatic adjustment functions when adding new users, reducing convenience and potentially affecting traffic safety.
Innovation Solution
A mobile object setting device and method that manages and registers user information and setting information, allowing for the association of existing setting information with new user accounts, ensuring seamless transitions and preventing unintended automatic adjustments during user account changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a new user is added to the in-vehicle device, then the user management function is improved, but the automatic adjustment function may operate according to setting information of the added new user at an unintended timing, reducing convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by copying setting information from a source user to the newly added user before the new user actually uses the vehicle. This advance preparation ensures that when the new user logs in, the automatic adjustment function operates with appropriate setting information rather than default or unintended data, thereby maintaining convenience while enabling user management
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a copy of the source user's setting information and assigns it to the newly added user. This copying mechanism allows the new user to inherit proven, working setting configurations without requiring manual creation or risking unintended automatic adjustments, thus resolving the contradiction between adding users and maintaining operational convenience
2Adaptability or versatility
If setting information is not created in advance for a new user, then user management flexibility is improved, but the automatic adjustment function may operate with unintended setting information, reducing reliability
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of leaving new users without pre-configured settings, the system copies validated setting information from an existing source user to the new user. This ensures reliability by guaranteeing that the automatic adjustment function will operate with proven, appropriate setting information while still allowing flexible user management and future customization
3Manufacturing precision
If users manually create setting information for new users, then accuracy of setting information is improved, but operation complexity increases and convenience is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically copies setting information from a source user to the newly added user, eliminating the need for manual creation. This maintains accuracy by using proven setting configurations while significantly improving operation convenience by automating the process
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs the setting information creation task automatically through copying, allowing the user management function to serve itself rather than requiring manual user intervention. This self-service approach maintains accuracy while enhancing ease of operation

AI summary
A mobile object setting device for setting equipment provided in a mobile object includes a storage device configured to store a program and setting information of the equipment and a hardware processor. The hardware processor manages the setting information in association with a user of the mobile object by executing the program stored in the storage device, registers user information about the user and the setting information of the equipment in the storage device, identifies the user of the mobile object, and acquires the setting information of the equipment associated with the identified user from the storage device to set the equipment based on the acquired setting information. The hardware processor acquires first setting information, which is the setting information of the equipment associated with first user information registered in advance, from the storage device and registers the acquired first setting information in association with second user information different from the first user information.
