Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle parking assistance systems face challenges in managing terminal registrations for multiple users, particularly in shared vehicle scenarios, which affects convenience and safety.

Innovation Solution

A control device for vehicles that includes a processor capable of starting the vehicle based on different types of keys, with a storage unit managing terminal information for remote control, allowing for autonomous movement and limiting access based on key types, enabling secure and convenient user registration and management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If terminal information is stored in the storage unit for remote control, then convenience for multiple users is improved, but security and access control deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience for multiple usersVSAvoidsecurity and access control
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by associating different access rights with different key types. Owner keys grant full access including terminal registration, while user keys grant only remote control access. This differentiated access control resolves the contradiction by providing convenience for multiple users while maintaining security through role-based permissions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the access control system into different key types (owner key and user key) with distinct functionalities. This segmentation allows the system to simultaneously support multiple users for remote control while preventing unauthorized terminal registration, thus resolving the security-convenience contradiction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If terminal registration is allowed for all key types, then ease of use for shared vehicles is improved, but unauthorized access control deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of use for shared vehiclesVSAvoidunauthorized access
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by assigning different registration capabilities to different key types. Owner keys enable terminal registration while user keys do not. This resolves the contradiction by allowing ease of use for shared vehicles through user key remote control while preventing unauthorized access through restricted registration rights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The processor acts as an intermediary that mediates between different key types and the terminal registration function. It verifies key types and selectively permits or denies registration based on the key type, thus enabling ease of use while preventing unauthorized access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple terminals are registered for remote control, then versatility for shared usage is improved, but system complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveversatility for shared usageVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating access rights based on key types. Owner keys can register multiple terminals while user keys cannot. This resolves the contradiction by providing versatility for shared usage through multiple registered terminals while simplifying the system by preventing unnecessary registration attempts from user keys.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
