Vehicle Wireless Connection Control for Remote Parking Delay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle data communication modules (DCMs) face challenges in seamlessly transitioning from automatic connection to an access point to accepting a connection request from a user terminal, particularly during remote parking operations, leading to potential delays and increased power consumption.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves an information processing apparatus with a controller that prevents automatic connection to a predetermined access point for a specified period after the vehicle stops, allowing for smooth acceptance of connection requests from user terminals and facilitating efficient remote parking operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the vehicle automatically connects to a predetermined access point when detected, then network connectivity is ensured, but connection delays and power consumption increase during remote parking operations
Solution Approach 1:
The controller determines in advance whether the vehicle is in a remote parking state before allowing automatic connection to the access point. By proactively checking the operational state and preventing automatic connection during remote parking, the system avoids connection delays without compromising overall network connectivity reliability.
2Reliability
If the vehicle automatically connects to a predetermined access point when detected, then network connectivity is ensured, but power consumption increases due to repeated connection attempts
Solution Approach 1:
The controller proactively determines the vehicle's operational state and prevents automatic connection attempts during remote parking operations. This preliminary check avoids unnecessary power consumption from repeated connection attempts while maintaining network connectivity when appropriate.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts its connection behavior based on the vehicle's operational state. Automatic connection is enabled during normal operations but disabled during remote parking, allowing the system to optimize power consumption according to real-time conditions while ensuring connectivity when needed.
3Loss of time
If the controller prevents automatic connection during remote parking, then connection delays are reduced, but network connectivity may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches connection modes based on operational context. During remote parking, automatic connection is disabled to prevent delays, but the controller maintains the ability to establish connections when needed. After remote parking ends, automatic connection is re-enabled to ensure network connectivity is restored.
