Wireless Rider Setting Sync for Straddle-Type Vehicle Assistance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Riders of straddle-type vehicles need to memorize function settings made during use and re-enter them on a portable wireless terminal, complicating the process and requiring concentration during vehicle stops.
Innovation Solution
An assistance system with an input device on the vehicle, a portable wireless terminal, and a communication device that wirelessly acquires and reflects function settings, providing guidance based on these settings to simplify the process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the rider uses the portable wireless terminal to set functions during vehicle use, then the function setting can be adjusted in real-time, but the rider must memorize and re-enter the settings after use, increasing the burden and time required
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically stores the function settings that were temporarily changed during vehicle use into the portable wireless terminal before the rider needs to use them again. This preliminary action eliminates the need for the rider to memorize and manually re-enter settings, resolving the contradiction between setting flexibility and time loss.
2Reliability
If the rider operates the portable wireless terminal to keep the vehicle stop posture, then the stop posture can be maintained, but the rider cannot avoid operating the terminal which requires concentration
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically maintains the vehicle stop posture using stored settings without requiring the rider to manually operate the portable wireless terminal. The rider simply needs to stop the vehicle, and the system self-adjusts to the correct posture, eliminating the need for concentrated operation while maintaining reliability.
3Device complexity
If the portable wireless terminal does not automatically acquire function setting information from the vehicle, then the system complexity is reduced, but the rider must manually transfer settings between devices
Solution Approach 1:
The portable wireless terminal acts as an intermediary that automatically acquires function setting information from the vehicle's communication device through wireless communication. This automated information transfer resolves the contradiction by adding minimal system complexity while significantly reducing manual transfer effort for the rider.
