Vehicle Virtual Desktop for Remote Data Analytics
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cellular data connections are inadequate for timely transfer of bulky data from vehicles to the cloud or remote datacenters, leading to delays in data analysis and potential loss of evidence in emergency situations.
Innovation Solution
A method that instantiates a virtual desktop and a data collection virtual machine on a vehicle device, allowing remote users to access and analyze data stored on the vehicle without needing to forward the data over the network, using a hypervisor and micro-broker module for authentication and resource management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If bulky data is transferred from vehicle to cloud over cellular network, then data can be accessed remotely, but transfer time is excessively long and delays analysis
Solution Approach 1:
A virtual desktop environment is introduced as an intermediary between the vehicle's data storage system and remote users. Instead of transferring bulky data over the network, the virtual desktop streams a graphical interface representation to remote devices, allowing users to access and analyze data locally stored in the vehicle without requiring large data transfers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the data access interface through a virtual desktop environment. Rather than copying or transferring the actual bulky data files, the system copies the functional interface that allows users to interact with the data, streaming this interface representation to remote devices while the actual data remains localized.
2Speed
If data is stored locally in the vehicle, then immediate access is possible, but remote users cannot analyze the data without network transfer
Solution Approach 1:
The virtual desktop acts as an intermediary that bridges local data storage and remote user access. It allows data to remain stored locally in the vehicle for immediate access while simultaneously providing remote users with an interface to interact with that data through network-connected devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to data access by creating a virtual interface layer. Instead of providing direct file access or requiring data transfer, the system creates a graphical user interface dimension that can be remotely accessed, allowing users to interact with locally stored data as if they were physically present at the vehicle.
3Loss of time
If virtual desktop is implemented for remote access, then data transfer time is reduced, but system complexity increases due to hypervisor and broker modules
Solution Approach 1:
The virtual desktop infrastructure provides multiple functions through a unified system. The hypervisor and broker modules not only enable remote access but also handle authentication, resource management, and data protection. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate systems for each function, managing complexity through consolidation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service capabilities through automated authentication and resource allocation. The broker module automatically manages connections between remote users and virtual desktop resources, and the hypervisor automatically handles virtual machine provisioning and resource management, reducing the need for manual configuration and intervention.
Data Source
AI summary
Some embodiments provide a novel method for analyzing data collected by a vehicle at a first location. On a first device operating in the vehicle, the method instantiates a virtual desktop first virtual machine (VM) for remote use of the first device by a remote user that uses a remote second device at a remote second location. The method instantiates a data collection second VM for local use of the first device to collect a set of data at the first location and store the set of data at the vehicle. The method facilitates interaction between the virtual desktop first VM and the remote user over a network for the remote user to access the data collection second VM to analyze the set of data without needing to forward the set of data over the network to the remote second device.
