In-Vehicle Shared UI Synchronization Across Multiple User Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle-mounted electronic devices lack the ability to efficiently share content across multiple user terminals within a vehicle, limiting the integration and synchronization of content information and vehicle-related data for multiple occupants.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device mounted on a vehicle is equipped with a communication module to connect with multiple user terminals, a display module to synchronize and display a shared user interface (UI) that combines content information from these terminals with vehicle-related information, and a processor to manage this integration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the vehicle-mounted electronic device connects to multiple user terminals to share content, then the content sharing capability and user experience are improved, but the system complexity and synchronization difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle-mounted electronic device serves as an intermediary that receives content information from multiple user terminals, processes it centrally, and distributes synchronized displays back to all terminals. This mediator approach allows multiple devices to share content without direct peer-to-peer complexity, resolving the contradiction by centralizing coordination functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle-mounted electronic device performs multiple functions: receiving content from various terminals, processing synchronization, displaying on its own screen, and distributing synchronized information back to all terminals. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require separate specialized components, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining versatility.
2Reliability
If the vehicle-mounted electronic device synchronizes display across multiple user terminals, then the information consistency is improved, but the processing load and synchronization time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle-mounted electronic device collects content information from all user terminals in advance before initiating the synchronized display process. By gathering and preprocessing all content data beforehand, the system minimizes the actual synchronization time when display is needed, ensuring information consistency without excessive processing delays.
3Loss of information
If the vehicle-mounted electronic device integrates content information and vehicle-related information from multiple sources, then the information completeness is improved, but the data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle-mounted electronic device merges content information from multiple user terminals with vehicle-related information into a single unified display interface. This consolidation approach ensures all information is available together (improving completeness) while using one processing unit (the vehicle-mounted device) to handle all integration tasks, avoiding the need for complex distributed processing across multiple devices.
