Solution Overview

Problem

Existing positioning systems struggle to adapt to dynamically changing integrity requirements in scenarios like intelligent warehousing and logistics, leading to potential fault events due to preset integrity settings that do not account for real-time changes.

Innovation Solution

A method for adaptive positioning integrity that predicts and adjusts positioning operations based on real-time integrity requirements, using various positioning algorithms and reference stations to meet changing needs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a preset integrity requirement is used, then the positioning system can operate with a fixed integrity level, but it cannot adapt to dynamically changing integrity requirements in different scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to changing integrity requirementsVSAvoidpositioning integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of positioning integrity requirements based on real-time scenario detection. The system transitions from a static preset integrity level to a dynamic integrity requirement that adapts to different positioning scenarios (e.g., high integrity for charging operations, medium integrity for transportation). This is achieved through scenario judgment modules that continuously monitor the current operation state and adjust integrity parameters accordingly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the integrity parameter dynamically based on the detected scenario. Different integrity levels (high, medium, low) are selected according to the operational context, such as using high integrity when the AGV is approaching a charging pile or performing precision docking, and reducing integrity levels for less critical operations. This parameter adaptation allows the system to meet varying reliability requirements without over-engineering the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If high positioning integrity is maintained in all scenarios, then reliability is improved, but resource utilization and system efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning integrityVSAvoidresource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different integrity levels to different local scenarios rather than uniformly across all operations. High integrity is localized to specific critical scenarios (charging, precision docking), while medium or low integrity is applied to less critical scenarios (general transportation, empty running). This localized quality approach ensures that resources are not wasted on unnecessary high-integrity operations while maintaining reliability where it matters most.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses partial high-integrity action only when and where needed, rather than applying high integrity continuously. By detecting scenarios that require high integrity and activating only those specific high-integrity positioning operations, the system avoids the excessive resource consumption that would result from maintaining high integrity throughout all operations, while still providing the necessary reliability for critical tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the positioning system continuously monitors and adjusts integrity requirements, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic integrity adjustment capabilityVSAvoidpositioning system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning device is designed with multi-functionality to handle both scenario detection and integrity adjustment within a single integrated system. The same positioning device that performs location calculation also contains the scenario judgment module and integrity parameter adjustment capabilities. This universal design avoids the need for separate complex systems for scenario detection and integrity management, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The positioning system implements self-service through autonomous scenario detection and self-adjustment of integrity parameters. The system automatically monitors its own operational context, detects when high integrity is required, and adjusts its own positioning parameters without external intervention. This self-service capability reduces the need for complex external control systems and manual configuration, simplifying the overall architecture while enabling dynamic adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
