Vehicle Information Transmission Apparatus with Grade-Based Access Control
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional vehicle information transmission apparatuses lack secure access control and fail to manage communication failures and transmission timing effectively, leading to unauthorized access and missed critical information due to communication interference or terminal defects.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle information transmission apparatus with a storage unit for vehicle data, transmission grades, and user terminal grades, a control unit to manage access and transmission based on grades, and a transmission unit to send data to appropriate terminals, including prioritization and password-protected modes for secure and timely information delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all vehicle information is transmitted to all user terminals, then information completeness is improved, but security deteriorates because unauthorized access cannot be prevented
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments vehicle information into different types (general information, private information, semi-private information) and segments user terminals into different user groups (all users, specific users, authorized users only). This segmentation allows selective transmission of information to appropriate user groups, ensuring information completeness for authorized users while preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different transmission permissions to different pieces of vehicle information based on their sensitivity. General information (e.g., vehicle location, speed) is transmitted to all user terminals, while private information (e.g., engine diagnostics, fuel level) is transmitted only to authorized terminals. This ensures that each piece of information receives the appropriate level of access control.
2Use of energy by moving object
If vehicle information is transmitted only upon user request, then energy consumption is reduced, but information timeliness deteriorates because critical information may not be transmitted during communication failures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic transmission control where the transmission behavior adapts based on communication status. During normal communication, information is transmitted upon user request to save energy. When communication failure is detected, the system dynamically switches to automatic transmission mode for critical information, ensuring reliability while minimizing energy consumption during normal operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by detecting communication failures in advance and proactively transmitting critical vehicle information to alternative terminals before complete communication breakdown occurs. This ensures that important information is delivered even when primary communication channels fail, while maintaining energy efficiency by only activating this mode when necessary.
3Loss of information
If all vehicle information is transmitted at the same time, then information availability is improved, but transmission efficiency deteriorates because different information types require different transmission priorities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments vehicle information into priority levels (high priority, medium priority, low priority) based on importance and urgency. Critical safety-related information is transmitted first, followed by important operational information, and finally general status information. This segmentation ensures all necessary information becomes available while optimizing transmission efficiency through prioritized delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements periodic transmission for different types of vehicle information based on their update requirements. Critical information is transmitted periodically at high priority, while less time-sensitive information is transmitted at lower priority intervals. This ensures information availability for all necessary data while improving transmission efficiency by avoiding simultaneous transmission of all information types.
