Vehicle Storage System Classifying Data for Local and Remote Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle storage systems struggle to appropriately handle and classify diverse types of vehicle information, including vehicle state and personal data, which is essential for accident investigation and data security.
Innovation Solution
A storage system for vehicles that includes an acquisition unit for collecting data, an in-vehicle storage unit, a transmission unit for sending data to an off-vehicle server, and a classification unit that distinguishes between data to be stored locally and data to be transmitted, ensuring secure and appropriate storage and transmission of vehicle state and personal information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all vehicle information is stored in the in-vehicle storage unit, then information availability is improved, but storage capacity requirements and data security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments vehicle information into two categories: personal information (stored externally on the server) and vehicle state information (stored locally in the in-vehicle storage unit). This segmentation allows the system to maintain necessary information availability while reducing local storage capacity requirements and mitigating data security risks by not concentrating all data in one location.
2Loss of information
If personal information is stored in the in-vehicle storage unit, then information availability is improved, but data security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts personal information from the in-vehicle storage unit and stores it externally on a server. Only vehicle state information remains in the local storage unit. This extraction eliminates the security risk of storing sensitive personal data in the vehicle while ensuring that vehicle operational data remains locally available for immediate access and accident investigation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If diverse types of vehicle information are handled, then system versatility is improved, but classification complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different storage locations based on the type of information: personal information is stored externally on the server while vehicle state information is stored locally in the in-vehicle storage unit. This differentiated approach allows the system to handle diverse information types effectively while maintaining a relatively simple classification mechanism based on the nature of the data.

AI summary
An acquisition unit acquires vehicle information related to a vehicle. An in-vehicle storage unit is provided in the vehicle and stores therein the vehicle information acquired by the acquisition unit. A transmission unit transmits the vehicle information acquired by the acquisition unit to an off-vehicle server located at an outside of the vehicle. A classification unit classifies the vehicle information acquired by the acquisition unit into information for transmission to be transmitted to the off-vehicle server or information for storage to be stored in the in-vehicle storage unit.
