Solution Overview

Problem

Existing remote control systems for vehicles often conflict between local and remote control operations, leading to unintended changes in vehicle states when remote control is executed without considering local user intentions.

Innovation Solution

A remote control system that includes a cancellation mechanism to cancel remote control requests if local control is initiated before the remote control is executed, ensuring that vehicle functions are only changed according to the user's intended local control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If remote control is executed whenever a request is transmitted from the control terminal, then the vehicle user can remotely control the vehicle function from a distance, but the remote control may conflict with local control requested by a vehicle user present in or near the vehicle

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote control capabilityVSAvoidcontrol consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection to check whether local control is requested before executing remote control. The cancellation device detects local control requests in advance and cancels the remote control operation accordingly, preventing conflicts between remote and local control operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback mechanism where the cancellation device continuously monitors for local control requests and provides feedback to cancel remote control operations when detected. This feedback loop ensures that remote control execution is dynamically adjusted based on current local control status

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

In a remote control system, the remote control of a vehicle function is executed. The remote control system includes a control terminal and a cancellation device. The control terminal transmits a request for the remote control of the vehicle function to a vehicle. The cancellation device cancels the remote control of the vehicle function if the local control of the vehicle function is requested before the remote control of the vehicle function is executed according to the request for the remote control.
