Wireless File Transfer Between PC and Vehicle Onboard Machine
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current file management systems for vehicle onboard machines require time-consuming operations to move or copy files between a personal computer (PC) and the onboard device, involving physical connections and power management that are inconvenient and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication-based system that allows file transfer between a PC and a vehicle onboard machine by remotely powering on/off the onboard device and establishing/disconnecting wireless connections via a GUI screen, eliminating the need for physical media and manual power management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a removable medium is used to transfer files between PC and vehicle onboard machine, then file transfer can be achieved, but the operation becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the file transfer operation from the physical medium exchange process. By using wireless communication to directly transfer files between PC and vehicle onboard machine, the removable medium is removed from the transfer path, eliminating the need to insert/eject media and reducing operational steps
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a wireless communication system as an intermediary between the PC and vehicle onboard machine. This intermediary enables direct data transmission without requiring physical medium exchange, simplifying the file transfer process while maintaining reliability
2Productivity
If manual power management is required for file transfer operations, then device control is achieved, but operational time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by enabling the vehicle onboard machine to automatically power on in advance when a file transfer operation is initiated from the PC. This eliminates the need for manual power management during file transfer, as the device is already powered and ready when needed
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle onboard machine performs self-service by automatically powering itself on when triggered by a file transfer request from the PC. This self-activation eliminates the need for manual power management intervention, reducing operational time and improving efficiency
