Vehicle Remote Control State Switching for Shipping Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a system that can selectively enable or disable remote control of vehicles after shipping, allowing for appropriate remote control functionality based on the shipping destination or transit point requirements, as existing methods do not allow for flexible control post-manufacturing.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a remote control unit, a disabling execution unit, and a disabling instruction unit that uses shipping destination and transit point information to determine whether to execute reversible or irreversible disabling of remote control, enabling or disabling remote control functionality as needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If irreversible disabling processing is executed for remote control at shipping, then security against unauthorized remote control is improved, but the ability to perform remote control at shipping destinations or transit points is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the remote control disabling state changeable based on conditions. The system transitions from a static irreversible disabling approach to a dynamic system where the disabling state can be reversed or adjusted according to shipping destination information, transit point information, and purchaser information, thereby maintaining security while enabling necessary remote control functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of remote control disabling from a binary state (disabled/enabled) to a multi-state system involving irreversible disabling, reversible disabling, and enabled states. By introducing reversible disabling as an intermediate state and using information-based conditions to determine the appropriate state, the system resolves the contradiction between security and adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If reversible disabling processing is executed for remote control at shipping, then the ability to restore remote control function is improved, but security against unauthorized remote control during transit is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by determining the appropriate disabling state (irreversible or reversible) in advance at the shipping stage based on pre-collected information about shipping destinations, transit points, and purchasers. This preliminary determination ensures security during transit while preserving the ability to restore functionality when needed, resolving the contradiction between security and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback mechanisms by collecting and analyzing information about shipping destinations, transit points, and purchasers to determine the appropriate remote control disabling state. This information-based feedback loop enables the system to make intelligent decisions about disabling levels, balancing security requirements with operational needs.
3Reliability
If remote control is completely disabled after manufacturing, then security is improved, but the ability to perform automatic driving demonstrations and logistics operations is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the remote control disabling function into different levels: irreversible disabling for complete security, reversible disabling for conditional operations, and enabled state for full functionality. This segmentation allows the system to apply the appropriate level of disabling based on specific operational requirements, maintaining both security and productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the remote control system universal by designing it to perform multiple functions: secure disabled state for safety, reversibly disabled state for controlled operations, and enabled state for full functionality. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction between security and operational capability by allowing the system to adapt to different operational contexts.

AI summary
A system (500) includes: a remote control unit (312) 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 (FC) that manufactures the moving object, the moving object including a communication unit (190) and a driving control unit (184), the communication unit (190) having a communication function, the driving control unit (184) executing driving control of the moving object; a disabling execution unit (182) 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 (316) 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.
