Vehicle Personalization Settings With Local Storage for Fast Recall
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle personalization systems face delays in setting reflection due to deteriorating communication environments, leading to time consumption and inconvenience for users when trying to change or activate personalization settings, especially when information cannot be acquired from external servers.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle personalization setting system that includes an individual recognition unit, an external information acquisition unit, and a storage system, allowing for the local storage and retrieval of personalization settings, enabling users to access and set vehicle instrument settings quickly even without external server connectivity by utilizing a portable terminal for communication and data management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If personalization setting information is acquired from external servers, then the system can provide up-to-date personalization settings, but the system experiences delays and failures when communication environments deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by storing personalization setting information locally in the vehicle's storage system before external server connectivity is needed. When a user sits in the driver's seat, the system retrieves previously stored personalization settings immediately without waiting for external server communication, thus eliminating delays caused by deteriorating communication environments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a local storage system as an intermediary between the external server and the personalization function. This intermediary stores copies of personalization setting information locally, allowing the system to access settings without direct real-time connection to the external server, thereby resolving the contradiction between reliability and time loss.
2Measurement precision
If the system waits for external server connectivity to activate personalization functions, then data accuracy is maintained, but user wait time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-fetching and storing personalization setting information from external servers when connectivity is available. This stored information is then immediately available for use without requiring real-time server connection, thus maintaining data accuracy while eliminating user wait time during activation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts its data acquisition strategy based on connectivity conditions. When the external server is accessible, the system updates personalization settings from the server. When connectivity is poor or unavailable, the system seamlessly switches to using locally stored settings, thus maintaining both accuracy and responsiveness under varying conditions.
3Speed
If personalization settings are stored locally in the vehicle, then access speed improves, but data synchronization with external servers becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by storing personalization setting information locally in advance before it is needed for activation. This pre-stored information enables immediate access when a user enters the vehicle, achieving high speed access while keeping the data management relatively simple through automatic background updates when connectivity is available.
Data Source
AI summary
A vehicle personalization setting system or a vehicle personalization setting sets personalization setting information for at least one vehicle instrument for each of at least one individual recognized by an individual recognition unit, acquires, from an outside of a vehicle, the personalization setting information, stores the personalization setting information of the at least one vehicle instrument mounted in the vehicle, wherein the personalization setting information was previously set, and reads and sets the personalization setting information stored in the storage in the vehicle.
