Solution Overview

Problem

Existing service activation methods for vehicles fail to synchronize cloud-side and vehicle-side service activations, leading to unsatisfactory user experiences when users attempt to use subscribed services, as the vehicle-side interface is activated without the corresponding cloud-side service being activated.

Innovation Solution

A method that splits service activation information into cloud-side and vehicle-side components, activates the cloud-side service first, and then generates a vehicle-side activation instruction based on the vehicle's startup state to ensure synchronized activation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If service activation information is sent to the vehicle side without verifying cloud-side activation status, then the vehicle-side interface can be viewed and activated, but the cloud-side supporting service remains unactivated, causing service inconsistency

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveService activation availabilityVSAvoidService activation consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary verification of cloud-side service activation status before generating vehicle-side activation instructions. The activation management server checks whether the cloud-side supporting service is activated, and only generates vehicle-side activation instructions when the cloud-side service is confirmed activated, preventing the inconsistency where vehicle interfaces are activated without corresponding cloud services

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the activation management server continuously monitors and verifies the activation status of cloud-side services. When receiving service activation information, the server verifies the cloud-side activation status and provides feedback control: only generating vehicle-side activation instructions when cloud-side activation is confirmed, thereby ensuring service consistency through closed-loop verification

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If cloud-side service activation is verified before vehicle-side activation, then service consistency is ensured, but additional verification steps increase activation process complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveService activation consistencyVSAvoidActivation process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges the cloud-side activation verification process with the vehicle-side activation instruction generation process into a single integrated workflow. The activation management server performs both verification and instruction generation in one coordinated operation, reducing the need for separate verification steps and minimizing process complexity while ensuring service consistency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A service activation management method, apparatus and system, a device, and a storage medium. In the method, service activation information is acquired and split into cloud-side activation information and vehicle-side activation information; a cloud-side supporting service of a vehicle-side service is activated according to the cloud-side activation information; and if the cloud-side supporting service is successfully activated, a vehicle-side service activation instruction for activating the vehicle-side service of the target vehicle is generated according to the vehicle-side activation information, so as to manage service activation of the target vehicle. In this way, unsatisfactory user experience caused by asynchronous activation of vehicle-side and cloud-side services can be prevented, thereby better fitting the needs of the application scenario of vehicle service subscription.
