Wristwatch Remote Control for Vehicle Diagnostics and Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote control devices for vehicles lack integrated diagnostic alert notification and remote control functionality, particularly for controlling operational parameters like electric door locks, trunk release, and theft alarms, and do not facilitate seamless communication with roadside assistance services.
Innovation Solution
A wristwatch-based remote vehicle control system that includes a communication unit connected to a vehicle's diagnostic system, electric door locks, electric trunk release, and theft alarm, enabling remote control and notification of diagnostic alerts through a processor, display, microphone, and speaker, with wireless communication capabilities to control and interact with the vehicle's systems and external networks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional remote control device is used to control vehicle systems, then basic remote control functionality is achieved, but integrated diagnostic alert notification and seamless communication with roadside assistance services are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple vehicle control functions (door locks, trunk release, theft alarm), diagnostic alert notification, and roadside assistance communication into a single wristwatch device. This merging of previously separate functions into one integrated platform directly addresses the versatility improvement while managing complexity through unified system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The wristwatch is designed as a universal remote control device that can perform multiple functions including vehicle control, diagnostic monitoring, alert notification, and communication with roadside assistance services. This multi-functionality approach enables a single device to replace multiple specialized devices, achieving the desired adaptability.
2Ease of operation
If a wristwatch-based remote control system is implemented, then seamless communication and remote control functionality are achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wristwatch acts as an intermediary device between the user and the vehicle systems, providing a user-friendly interface for remote control operations. The device mediates communication between the user and complex vehicle systems, translating simple user actions into appropriate control commands while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where diagnostic alerts from the vehicle are transmitted to the wristwatch, providing real-time status information to the user. This feedback loop enables seamless communication by keeping the user informed of vehicle conditions without requiring complex manual monitoring.

AI summary
A remote vehicle control system includes a vehicle that has a diagnostic system, electric door locks, an electric trunk release, a theft alarm and a first transceiver. A watch is provided and the watch may be worn on a wrist thereby facilitating the watch to display a time of day and a date. A communication unit is coupled to the watch. The communication unit is in electrical communication with the diagnostic unit to notify a user of diagnostic alerts generated by the diagnostic unit. The communication unit controls operational parameters of the electric door locks, the electric trunk release and the theft alarm.
