Vehicle Smart Key User Authentication and Customization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional smart key systems for vehicles do not effectively manage user authentication and customization, leading to security and safety concerns when multiple users share a single smart key, as each user may access all vehicle functions.
Innovation Solution
A method involving user information and customization settings registration with a security server, followed by authentication and forwarding of customized settings to the relevant vehicle, allowing for personalized function control and secure access management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a single smart key is shared among multiple users, then ease of operation is improved, but security and reliability deteriorate because any user can access all vehicle functions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the smart key system by introducing unique identification information for each user. When a smart key is used, the system identifies the specific user and applies segmented access control, allowing different users to have different levels of authorization for vehicle functions while still using the same physical smart key device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by assigning different function sets to different users based on their identification. Each user receives customized function permissions tailored to their specific needs and authorization level, rather than providing uniform access to all functions for all users.
2Adaptability or versatility
If user-specific customization is implemented, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional authentication and data management requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary server that manages user identification information and customization data. This intermediary handles the complex tasks of authentication, user identification, and function customization, thereby reducing the complexity burden on the smart key device itself while still providing adaptable user-specific functions.
