Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle systems lack a secure and trusted method to establish a connection between a vehicle and portable electronic devices, and to associate multiple devices with users for generating social links and controlling vehicle applications.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a display device for showing a unique code, a communication device for interacting with portable electronic devices, and processing circuitry to generate and manage linkages between vehicles and users, allowing trusted connections based on code reading, social data correlation, and control of vehicle applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a secure connection method is established between vehicle and portable electronic device, then trust and security are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A unique code is introduced as an intermediary element to establish trusted linkage. The code is displayed on the vehicle's display device and read by the portable electronic device, serving as a mediator that proves presence without requiring complex direct authentication protocols between the vehicle system and the device.
Solution Approach 2:
The unique code acts as a copy or representation of the vehicle's identity and state. Instead of directly transmitting complex authentication data, the system creates a simplified copy (the code) that can be easily read and verified by the portable electronic device, maintaining security while reducing complexity.
2Measurement precision
If presence detection of portable electronic device is implemented, then accurate user association is improved, but measurement and detection difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces complex mechanical or sensor-based presence detection with an optical/electronic code reading mechanism. The unique code displayed on the vehicle is read by the portable electronic device's camera or scanner, substituting physical presence sensing with digital code verification that is both precise and easier to implement.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users are associated with the vehicle through their devices, then social linkage capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The unique code mechanism serves multiple functions: it detects presence, authenticates the user, associates the portable device with the vehicle, and enables social linkage between multiple users. This universal approach allows the same simple code-based system to handle all these tasks without requiring separate complex systems for each function.

AI summary
A system for generating a linkage between a vehicle and a user and for generating a linkage between users includes: a display device to display image data of a code; a communication device to communicate with a portable electronic device; a processing circuitry operatively connected to the display device and the communication device and configured to generate a unique code to be displayed, display the unique code at the display device to be read by a portable electronic device associated with a user, receive a determination that the unique code has been read by the portable electronic device associated with the user, and establish a trusted linkage between the vehicle and the user based on the presence of the portable electronic device at the vehicle.
