Vehicle Setting Conversion for Cross-Model Driving Position Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle onboard equipment setting transfer systems fail to accurately replicate settings between different vehicle models, resulting in inappropriate driving position adjustments.
Innovation Solution
A management device that acquires onboard equipment setting information, vehicle model information, and user identification, and converts the settings into new information based on vehicle model specifics, allowing for accurate replication across different vehicle models by employing proportional ratios and coordinate systems.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If onboard equipment settings are transferred over as-is between different vehicle models, then the transfer process is simple, but the driving position cannot be appropriately replicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by converting setting information using proportional ratios based on movable range parameters. The conversion section transforms original setting values into new setting values by multiplying with proportional ratios calculated from the movable ranges of the source and target vehicle models, thereby adapting settings to different vehicle specifications while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The management device serves as an intermediary between the source vehicle and target vehicle. It receives setting information from the source vehicle, performs conversion using vehicle model-specific movable range data, and provides the converted settings to the target vehicle, enabling accurate cross-model settings transfer.
2Measurement precision
If proportional ratio conversion is applied for settings transfer, then accurate replication across different vehicle models is achieved, but computational processing is required
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-storing movable range information for multiple vehicle models in the management device. This advance preparation of reference data enables the conversion section to quickly calculate proportional ratios and perform setting conversions without requiring complex real-time computations or additional sensing infrastructure.
3Ease of operation
If settings are transferred without considering vehicle model differences, then the system is simple to operate, but the settings are not appropriate for the target vehicle
Solution Approach 1:
The management device implements universality by supporting settings transfer across multiple different vehicle models through a unified conversion process. The system stores movable range information for various vehicle models and applies appropriate conversion based on the target vehicle model, enabling one system to serve multiple vehicle types accurately.
Data Source
AI summary
A management device includes a processor. The processor is configured to acquire setting information for onboard equipment used by a user in a vehicle, vehicle model information for the vehicle, and identification information for the user, convert the setting information that has been acquired into new setting information based on the vehicle model information, and provide the new setting information to onboard equipment used by the user corresponding to the identification information in a new vehicle.
