Vehicle Usage Mode Detection via Application Monitoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle control systems do not efficiently adapt to varying usage modes for car sharing services, limiting convenience and flexibility in vehicle operation based on user purposes.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that communicates with vehicles to determine usage modes by analyzing user and vehicle information, including application data, to control vehicle settings such as air conditioning, information provision, and travel modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If vehicle control systems use fixed traveling modes for different environments, then vehicle operation can be controlled based on environment type, but the system cannot adapt to varying usage modes for car sharing services
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between multiple usage modes (personal use, car sharing, ride sharing, delivery service) based on real-time detection of application execution states. The control unit adjusts vehicle settings and operations according to the detected usage mode, making the system adaptable without requiring complex manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle control system automatically detects the current usage mode by monitoring application execution states and self-adjusts its operations without user intervention. The system identifies whether the vehicle is being used for personal purposes, car sharing, ride sharing, or delivery services, and autonomously optimizes settings accordingly.
2Ease of operation
If the system switches between multiple usage modes, then convenience is improved, but the complexity of determining and managing usage modes increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit automatically detects usage modes by monitoring which applications are executing on the terminal device. The system self-determines the usage mode (personal use, car sharing, ride sharing, or delivery service) and self-adjusts vehicle operations without requiring users to manually select or configure modes, thereby improving convenience while avoiding complex user-facing management.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors application execution states as feedback to determine the current usage mode. Based on this feedback, the control unit adjusts vehicle settings and operations in real-time, creating a closed-loop system that adapts to changing usage conditions automatically.
3Adaptability or versatility
If vehicle parameters are adjusted based on navigation destination, then vehicle operation can be optimized for specific destinations, but the system lacks adaptability for varying usage purposes
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects usage modes by monitoring application execution states without requiring users to manually input or select usage purposes. The control unit self-determines whether the vehicle is being used for personal purposes, car sharing, ride sharing, or delivery services, and autonomously optimizes settings accordingly, eliminating the need for users to provide detailed information about their intended use.
