Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional vehicle diagnostic methods are used where drivers manually determine problems and schedule repairs, then drivers have control over the diagnostic process, but this leads to over-repairing of simple problems and reduced customer satisfaction due to inadequate information

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveDriver control over diagnostic processVSAvoidVehicle state diagnosis accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The vehicle performs self-diagnosis through embedded sensors and processors that automatically monitor component states, vibration patterns, and operational parameters. The system generates its own diagnostic data without requiring driver intervention, enabling precise detection of actual vehicle conditions while reducing unnecessary repairs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Manual driver assessment of vehicle problems is replaced by electronic sensor-based monitoring systems. processors analyze vibration signals, noise patterns, and operational data to objectively determine vehicle state, substituting subjective human judgment with precise mechanical-electronic measurement systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Device complexity

If traditional vehicle diagnostic methods are used with limited information collection, then system complexity is reduced, but management service cannot be provided due to insufficient vehicle state data

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveDiagnostic system complexityVSAvoidVehicle state information completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The diagnostic system serves multiple functions simultaneously: it monitors vehicle component states, analyzes vibration and noise patterns, stores historical operational data, generates predictive maintenance alerts, and provides management service information. This multi-functional approach enables comprehensive information collection without proportionally increasing system complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The diagnostic system employs a hierarchical structure where sensors are nested within components, which are nested within subsystems, all communicating through integrated communication interfaces. This nested architecture allows comprehensive data collection at multiple levels while maintaining organized system complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Measurement precision

If Deep Learning algorithms with big data from vibration and noise signals are implemented for bidirectional vehicle state diagnosis, then diagnosis accuracy and customer satisfaction are improved, but system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveVehicle state diagnosis accuracyVSAvoidInformation sharing platform complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

An information sharing platform acts as an intermediary between the vehicle's diagnostic system and external servers. This platform collects, preprocesses, and manages vibration and noise data locally before transmitting to remote servers for Deep Learning analysis, distributing system complexity across multiple levels rather than concentrating all processing requirements in one location.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary data collection, filtering, and organization through the information sharing platform before transmitting to external servers. This preliminary processing reduces the complexity burden on any single component by preparing data in advance, enabling more efficient Deep Learning analysis without requiring the entire system to handle all processing simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Speed

If bidirectional communication between driver and vehicle with AI modules is implemented, then immediate and accurate information is provided, but device complexity and computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveInformation provision speedVSAvoidAI module and communication system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bidirectional communication system operates periodically, with the information sharing platform collecting and processing data at scheduled intervals rather than continuously. This periodic operation enables the system to provide timely diagnostic information while reducing computational burden and system complexity compared to continuous real-time processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
