A car converting unit would not be easy to create. In preparing the design I would have to decide if it would be affiliated with a specific brand of car or generic for all cars. One way that this unit could be sold is through the individual car companies. However, this would limit the types of cars that would be able to use the converter to that specific car company such as Ford or BMW. If I were to sell these units individually from a manufactural company not involved in the making of specific cars, I would be able to make converters for all different types of cars including: Chevy, Ford, Lexus, BMW, etc.
This week in class we taked about the uses of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). RFID is simply a system which transmits the identity of an object or person wirelessly using radio frequency. This would be very convenient to include in my invention. In each converter a RFID chip could be added to be tracked. This would allow us to keep track of the vehicles with an installed converter. This would benifit our manufacturing because if the car had any issues we could track it and fix the problem quickly and efficiently. Also it would allow us to have an idea of how far people are traveling with it and keep track of any modifications that may need to be added to increase the convenience of it.
Another topic we talked about this week was QR codes. QR codes are also know as quick response codes. You can make a QR code for anything. We learned in class that you can go online and type in a website, product, or number that you want to come up when the code is scanned. This would be helpful in getting my car converting product out into the public. We could put it on shirts, signs, or even on small mailed advertisements. We would be able to connect our product with the code so when people scan it with their smart phones, it would bring them to a site all about the product.
