Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single deep learning model is used for all drivers, then device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but adaptability to individual driving tendencies deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to individual driving tendenciesVSAvoidmodel customization complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the single deep learning model into multiple user-specific models, where each model is customized for individual driving tendencies. The system divides the general model into user-specific instances through fine-tuning processes, allowing each driver to have a personalized model while maintaining the underlying shared architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by fine-tuning model parameters for each user based on their driving behavior data. The system modifies specific parameters of the deep learning model to adapt to individual driving tendencies, while keeping the overall model structure unchanged, thus achieving personalization without complete model recreation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If deep learning models are fine-tuned for each user, then personalized performance is improved, but loss of time for data processing and model updating increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautonomous driving performanceVSAvoidmodel fine-tuning and updating time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-collecting and storing driving behavior data during normal operation. The system accumulates user-specific driving patterns in advance, preparing the data needed for future fine-tuning operations. This allows the model to be updated efficiently when conditions are appropriate, rather than processing everything in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs periodic action by updating user-specific models at predetermined intervals or when sufficient new data is accumulated. Rather than continuous real-time fine-tuning, the system periodically processes and updates models, balancing performance improvement with computational efficiency and time management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Measurement precision

If video data is collected and processed for each user, then measurement precision of driving tendencies is improved, but quantity of data to be processed increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of driving tendency analysisVSAvoidvolume of video data
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies taking out by extracting only the essential features and patterns from video data that are relevant to driving tendencies. The system processes video data to extract meaningful behavioral patterns while discarding redundant information, thus achieving precise measurement without processing the entire raw video dataset.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements partial action by focusing on specific aspects of driving behavior that are most indicative of user tendencies. Rather than analyzing all possible video data comprehensively, the system selectively processes key features and patterns that provide sufficient precision for personalization while reducing overall data processing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
