Vehicle Communication Device for Automatic Terminal Setting Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of portable terminals, such as smartphones, face inconvenience due to the need to manually change settings frequently, especially when transitioning between driving and non-driving scenarios, leading to increased battery consumption and unnecessary operations when searching for peripheral devices.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses a push message to automatically change user terminal settings based on vehicle state or operation by mapping mode information or terminal setting information to vehicle information, allowing the user terminal to receive and apply these changes via a push message server.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the terminal periodically searches for peripheral devices, then the terminal can connect with peripheral devices, but battery consumption increases and duration of use is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by setting up automatic setting changes before the user needs to connect to peripheral devices. When the user enters driving mode, the system automatically configures the terminal to only search for peripheral devices when needed, rather than continuously searching. This preliminary configuration resolves the contradiction by establishing efficient search behavior in advance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies dynamics by making the peripheral device search behavior adaptive and conditional. Instead of continuous periodic searching, the terminal dynamically adjusts its search behavior based on the current mode (driving vs. non-driving). The search function is activated only when necessary, creating a dynamic response that balances connection reliability with energy conservation.
2Ease of operation
If the user manually changes settings before driving, then the TTS function can be used while driving, but the user is required to change settings and return to original state frequently
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies preliminary action by automatically configuring the TTS function and other driving-related settings before the user actually needs to drive. When the terminal detects that the user has entered a vehicle, it automatically activates the TTS function and adjusts other settings in advance, eliminating the need for the user to manually change settings before driving.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by automatically managing setting changes without requiring user intervention. The terminal monitors its own state (detecting when the user is in a vehicle) and autonomously adjusts settings accordingly. This eliminates the time loss associated with manual setting changes and restores settings, as the system handles all configuration automatically.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the user changes various setting information whenever getting in/out of vehicle, then the terminal can adapt to driving scenarios, but the user is inconvenienced in the use of the terminal
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies self-service by having the terminal automatically detect when the user is in or out of a vehicle and autonomously adjust settings without user intervention. The terminal monitors its own state and automatically applies the appropriate settings (e.g., activating TTS, adjusting search behavior) when entering driving mode, and automatically restores settings when exiting, thereby maintaining adaptability while maximizing user convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the user's state (whether the terminal is in a vehicle or not) and automatically adjusting settings based on this feedback. When the terminal detects that the user is in a vehicle, it automatically applies driving-mode settings; when the user exits the vehicle, the system receives feedback and automatically restores original settings. This closed-loop feedback mechanism maintains adaptability while eliminating manual user actions.

AI summary
A vehicle communication methods and device for changing a user terminal setting by using a push message is provided. The vehicle communication device includes a storage unit configured to map at least one vehicle mode information to terminal identification information of the user terminal, to which a message is transmitted, and each vehicle information, including vehicle state information or operation information, and store the mapped information; a vehicle information collector configured to collect vehicle information; a message generator configured to generate a transmission message including at least one vehicle mode information mapped to the collected vehicle information and the stored terminal identification information; and a message transmitter configured to transmit the generated transmission message to the user terminal through a push message server.
