Vehicle Remote Control Disabling Based on Shipping Destination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to appropriately disable remote control functions for vehicles after shipping, necessitating techniques to enable or disable remote control based on the capabilities and demands of shipping destinations and transit points.
Innovation Solution
A system and server that utilize a disabling execution unit to selectively execute irreversible or reversible disabling processing of remote control based on shipping destination and transit point information, including infrastructure availability and purchaser details, ensuring appropriate disabling processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If irreversible disabling processing is executed for remote control at shipping, then security against unauthorized use is improved, but the ability to perform remote control at shipping destinations or transit points deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the remote control disabling state changeable based on conditions. The disabling execution unit can switch between executing irreversible disabling processing and not executing it, depending on shipping destination information and transit point information. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt the security level and remote control capability according to specific scenarios, resolving the contradiction between security and adaptability.
2Reliability
If remote control is disabled at shipping, then security is improved, but the ability to park vehicles or perform automatic driving demonstrations at shipping destinations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the treatment of remote control based on the specific location (shipping destination or transit point). The disabling instruction unit determines whether to execute irreversible disabling processing by evaluating location-specific information. This allows remote control to be maintained at locations where it is needed for operations like parking or demonstrations, while being disabled at locations where security is the primary concern, thus resolving the contradiction between security and operational flexibility.
3Adaptability or versatility
If remote control is always enabled after manufacturing, then operational flexibility is maintained, but security risks from unauthorized use increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (the disabling execution unit and disabling instruction unit) that mediates between remote control availability and security risks. This intermediary evaluates shipping destination information and transit point information to make informed decisions about whether to disable remote control. This intermediary approach allows the system to balance operational flexibility with security by enabling remote control only when and where it is safe and necessary, resolving the contradiction between availability and security risks.

AI summary
A system includes: a remote control unit that causes a moving object to move by remote control, the moving object being able to move by the remote control in a manufacturing process in a factory that manufactures the moving object, the moving object including a communication unit and a driving control unit, the communication unit having a communication function, the driving control unit executing driving control of the moving object; a disabling execution unit that selectively executes one of irreversible disabling processing for irreversibly disabling the remote control, and reversible disabling processing for reversibly disabling the remote control; and a disabling instruction unit that determines which one of the irreversible disabling processing and the reversible disabling processing to execute using shipping destination information related to the remote control at a shipping destination to which the moving object after manufacturing is shipped.
