Vehicle Multi-Transceiver Selection for Stronger Mobile Links
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for establishing wireless communication connections between mobile devices and motor vehicles often result in suboptimal connection quality due to multiple devices independently emitting connection proposals, leading to inconsistent signal strengths.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of multiple transceivers in a motor vehicle, each with signal strength determination and selection based on received signal strength, ensures a consistent and improved wireless communication connection by selecting the transceiver with the strongest signal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple transceivers independently emit connection proposals, then the mobile device can connect to any transceiver, but the connection quality becomes inconsistent and suboptimal
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the independent connection proposal emissions from multiple transceivers into a coordinated system. The control apparatus receives connection proposals from multiple transceivers, evaluates their signal strengths, and selectively establishes connections based on quality metrics, thereby combining the advantages of multiple transceivers while maintaining consistent connection quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by having the control apparatus evaluate signal strengths from multiple transceivers and use this information to make intelligent connection decisions. The control apparatus continuously monitors connection quality and can switch between transceivers based on real-time signal conditions, ensuring optimal connection quality.
2Reliability
If a transceiver establishes a Bluetooth connection, then communication is possible, but no other Bluetooth connection can be established between these devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic connection management where the control apparatus can actively switch between different transceivers based on signal quality. Instead of a static one-to-one connection, the system dynamically evaluates and transitions between transceivers to maintain optimal connections while allowing flexibility in partner device selection.
Solution Approach 2:
The control apparatus serves multiple functions: it manages multiple transceivers, evaluates connection proposals from various devices, determines signal strengths, and establishes connections with different mobile devices. This multi-functional approach allows the system to maintain stable connections while preserving adaptability to different connection scenarios.

AI summary
A motor vehicle has at least two transceivers, each of which is configured for wireless communication with a mobile device. A method for establishing a wireless communication connection between a motor vehicle and the mobile device includes steps of receiving, by the transceivers, a signal emitted by the mobile device; determining signal strengths of the received signal at the transceivers; selecting one of the transceivers based on the signal strengths; and establishing of a wireless communication connection between the mobile device and the selected transceiver.
