Vehicle-Mounted Storage Locker Odor and Soiling Event Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing storage locker systems do not effectively manage odors or soiling issues, leading to discomfort for users and potential damage to baggage.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that control a vehicle-mounted storage apparatus, restricting baggage deposition when a predetermined event (such as odor or soiling) occurs, and automatically moving the vehicle to a designated place for resolution, such as cleaning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If baggage is deposited in the storage apparatus, then the storage capacity is utilized, but odors or soiling may occur making the locker unusable or causing discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of odors and soiling conditions before allowing baggage deposition. When abnormal conditions are detected, the system proactively restricts deposition and triggers cleaning operations in advance, preventing contamination rather than reacting after it occurs.
Solution Approach 2:
The odor sensor continuously monitors the storage compartment conditions and provides feedback to the control unit. This feedback loop enables real-time detection of odor levels and automatic response through deposition restriction and cleaning activation, creating a closed-loop control system that maintains hygiene.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the storage apparatus is cleaned frequently, then cleanliness is maintained, but operational time is reduced and user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses odor sensor feedback to determine when cleaning is actually needed, rather than following a fixed schedule. This on-demand cleaning approach triggered by actual contamination detection minimizes unnecessary cleaning operations while maintaining cleanliness when required.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects contamination conditions and initiates cleaning operations without requiring user intervention or awareness. The control unit autonomously manages the cleaning process based on sensor data, making the maintenance transparent and convenient for users.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If deposition is restricted when abnormalities occur, then cleanliness is protected, but storage availability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies deposition restriction locally only to the specific compartment where abnormal conditions are detected, rather than restricting all compartments. This localized control maintains storage availability in clean compartments while protecting contaminated areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The system restricts deposition as a preliminary protective measure when abnormalities are detected, preventing further contamination before cleaning is performed. This proactive restriction is automatically lifted after cleaning, restoring storage availability.
4Reliability
If the vehicle moves to a predetermined place for resolution, then the predetermined event is resolved, but time and energy are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The system determines and navigates to predetermined places in advance when abnormalities are detected, rather than waiting for severe contamination. This proactive timing allows for scheduled stops at convenient locations, reducing the urgency and time loss associated with emergency responses.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing device includes a processor. The processor is configured to control a vehicle including a storage apparatus including one or more compartments configured such that a user deposits baggage. The processor is configured to, when a predetermined event related to storage of the baggage has occurred in the storage apparatus, restrict deposit of the baggage into the storage apparatus by the user until the vehicle including the storage apparatus moves to a predetermined place where the predetermined event is resolvable.
