VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18432190 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM
The vehicle control system described in this patent application consists of a meter-side control device and a backup device for measuring and storing the total distance traveled by a vehicle.
- The meter-side control device is installed in the vehicle and tracks the total mileage.
- The backup device can obtain a copy of the total distance measured by the meter-side control device.
- Data communication between the two devices is secured using an authentication signal with a common key.
- When registering a common key, the device with the larger total mileage value sends its data to the other device.
Potential Applications: - Fleet management systems - Vehicle tracking and monitoring - Insurance telematics
Problems Solved: - Ensures accurate tracking of total mileage - Provides a backup of mileage data for security and verification purposes
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in mileage tracking - Enhanced data security and reliability - Streamlined maintenance and insurance processes
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized by fleet management companies, insurance providers, and vehicle rental services to track and monitor the mileage of their vehicles efficiently.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the authentication signal with a common key enhance data security in the communication between the devices? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits for businesses implementing this vehicle control system?
Original Abstract Submitted
The vehicle control system of the present disclosure includes a meter-side control device that is installed in a vehicle and can measure the total distance traveled by the vehicle, and a backup device that can obtain a copy of the total distance measured by the meter-side control device. Data communication between the meter-side control device and the backup device uses an authentication signal using a common key, and a new communication between the meter-side control device and the backup device When registering a common key, the larger value of the total mileage value stored in the meter side control device and the total mileage value stored in the backup device is sent to the meter side control device. Total mileage.
