VEHICLE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT METHOD AND VEHICLE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240046340 titled 'VEHICLE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT METHOD AND VEHICLE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for managing vehicle information using a communication terminal and blockchain technology. Here are the key points:
- The method involves including image information and setting information related to a vehicle in the vehicle information management system.
- Users can view the vehicle information in either a stereoscopic view or a planar view through a communication terminal before the vehicle is delivered.
- The setting information can be updated based on operation information received from the communication terminal.
- The updating process involves generating the vehicle information as a non-fungible token and recording it in a blockchain.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Vehicle manufacturers can use this method to provide customers with a detailed view of the vehicle and its settings before delivery, enhancing the pre-purchase experience.
- Dealerships can use the system to showcase vehicles to potential buyers remotely, allowing them to explore the vehicle's features and settings without physically visiting the showroom.
- Fleet management companies can utilize this method to monitor and update the settings of their vehicles remotely, improving operational efficiency.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The method solves the problem of limited access to vehicle information before delivery, allowing users to have a comprehensive understanding of the vehicle's features and settings.
- It addresses the issue of manual updating of vehicle settings by automating the process based on operation information received from the communication terminal.
- The use of blockchain ensures the security and immutability of the recorded vehicle information, preventing tampering or unauthorized modifications.
Benefits of this technology:
- Customers can make more informed decisions about purchasing a vehicle by having access to detailed information and settings before delivery.
- Remote viewing of vehicle information reduces the need for physical visits to dealerships or showrooms, saving time and effort for both customers and sellers.
- The automated updating of vehicle settings improves efficiency and accuracy, reducing the risk of human error.
- The use of blockchain technology ensures the integrity and security of the recorded vehicle information, enhancing trust and transparency in the system.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle information management method for managing vehicle information linked with a vehicle, includes the steps of: including: image information illustrating at least one of a whole and a part of the vehicle; and setting information indicating a setting state of a function provided in the vehicle, into the vehicle information; permitting a user of the vehicle to view the vehicle information in a stereoscopic view or a planar view through a communication terminal from before a delivery date of the vehicle; and updating the setting information based on operation information from the communication terminal. the updating includes generating the vehicle information as a non-fungible token to be recorded in a blockchain.
