Vehicle Profile Transfer for Temporary User Settings and Limits
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When a user borrows or rents a vehicle, the vehicle does not have the user's preferences stored, and there is a need for a system to receive settings and limitations from a user device to modify the vehicle settings for a period of use.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a communication module and a processor that determines the occupant's identity, establishes connections with user devices to receive occupant profiles and limitation settings, and applies these settings to the vehicle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a user borrows or rents a vehicle, then the vehicle can be used by different users, but the vehicle does not have the user's preferences stored
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing communication connections with user devices before the user actually uses the vehicle. The processor sends connection requests to user devices, receives occupant profiles containing preference information in advance, and stores this information for later application when the user enters the vehicle.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a communication module as an intermediary between the vehicle system and external user devices. This intermediary component enables the transfer of preference information from user devices to the vehicle's processor, allowing the vehicle to access and apply user preferences without having them permanently stored in the vehicle's memory.
2Ease of operation
If the vehicle stores user preferences locally, then the settings are immediately available, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication module serves multiple functions: it establishes connections with user devices, receives and transmits data, and enables the vehicle to access preference information from external sources. This multi-functional component allows the vehicle to obtain user preferences without requiring dedicated storage hardware or complex local management systems for each user's data.

AI summary
According to an embodiment, it is a system comprising a communication module and a processor, wherein the processor storing instructions in a non-transitory memory that, when executed, cause the processor to determine an identity of an occupant; establish a first connection, by sending a first connection request via the communication module, to a first device;receive a first message from the first device, wherein the first message comprises an occupant profile comprising a vehicle setting; establish a second connection, by sending a second connection request via the communication module, to a second device; and receive a second message from the second device, wherein the second message comprises a limitation setting and a priority level.
