Vehicle Remote Control with Dynamic Pre-Air-Conditioning Termination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle remote control systems lack user-centric control options, forcing users to follow predetermined routines for in-vehicle device actuation, making it difficult for individuals to decide whether to continue or terminate device operation based on their specific needs and preferences.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle remote control system that includes vehicle-state detection, notification, selection-screen display, and actuation control features, allowing users to receive information about vehicle states and make informed decisions on continuing or terminating the actuation of in-vehicle devices such as air conditioners or battery chargers through a remote control terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If predetermined routine control is used for in-vehicle device actuation, then system simplicity is maintained, but user flexibility and adaptability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts its control routine based on user selections. The notification system provides real-time vehicle state information (temperature, humidity, air quality), and the control routine changes from fixed predetermined steps to flexible user-directed actions, allowing users to continue or terminate actuation based on their preferences and current conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by notifying users of the vehicle's current state during device actuation. This feedback loop enables users to make informed decisions about whether to continue or terminate the actuation, transforming the system from open-loop predetermined control to closed-loop adaptive control that responds to user needs and environmental conditions
2Use of energy by moving object
If automatic termination after predetermined time is implemented, then energy consumption is reduced, but user convenience and satisfaction are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The actuation termination time is no longer fixed but dynamically determined by user input. Users receive notifications about vehicle conditions and can independently decide whether to continue or terminate device operation, making the system adaptable to different user needs and situations rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all timing approach
Solution Approach 2:
Users are empowered to make their own decisions about when to terminate device actuation based on the vehicle state information provided by the system. This self-service approach allows users to optimize energy consumption according to their personal preferences and circumstances without requiring the system to automatically determine the optimal termination point
3Adaptability or versatility
If real-time vehicle state notification with selection options is provided, then user control and adaptability are improved, but system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The complex decision-making process is extracted from the automated system and transferred to the user. The notification system provides essential vehicle state information (temperature, humidity, air quality), and the control system waits for user input rather than attempting to autonomously interpret and act on multiple parameters, simplifying the system's processing requirements while maintaining high user control
Solution Approach 2:
The notification system acts as an intermediary between the vehicle's sensor data and the control system. It translates complex multi-parameter vehicle state information into user-friendly notifications that prompt users to make simple continuation or termination decisions, bridging the gap between complex system data and simple user actions without requiring the control system to process complex decision logic

AI summary
After start of pre-air-conditioning, when a preset set condition is satisfied, an in-vehicle terminal transmits information regarding a vehicle state and a screen display command for selection between continuation and termination of the pre-air-conditioning to a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal receives the screen display command and displays a notification indicating the vehicle state and a selection button for selection between the continuation and the termination of the pre-air-conditioning on a screen. After obtaining the vehicle state, the user selects whether to continue or terminate the pre-air-conditioning. In this manner, pre-air-conditioning suitable for each individual user can be performed.
