Vehicle Service Automation via Short-Range Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle systems require manual user intervention for services like door lock, window lock, seat adjustment, and temperature adjustment, lacking an automated solution for providing these services upon user entry.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with short-range communication capabilities detects its location within a vehicle and transmits user information to the vehicle's system, allowing for automatic provision of services such as door lock, window lock, seat adjustment, and temperature adjustment based on the user's position and registered preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If manual manipulation is used for vehicle services, then users can control door lock, window lock, seat adjustment, and temperature adjustment, but the process requires user intervention and is not automated
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables the vehicle to automatically detect user presence via short-range communication, identify the user, and autonomously provide appropriate services (door lock, window lock, seat adjustment, temperature adjustment) without requiring manual user intervention. The vehicle serves itself by automatically responding to user entry based on pre-stored user information and service preferences.
2Ease of operation
If automated service provision is implemented, then convenience is enhanced by eliminating manual intervention, but the system complexity increases due to short-range communication units and user information storage
Solution Approach 1:
The short-range communication units serve multiple functions: detecting user presence, identifying the user, and triggering automated services. The controller integrates multiple functions including receiving user information, storing it in memory, detecting user presence, and automatically providing appropriate services based on the detected user and stored preferences, thereby reducing the need for separate dedicated components for each function.
