Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If basic technologies such as machine vision, radar positioning, satellite positioning and intelligent control are used to implement autonomous driving function, then the autonomous driving function can be achieved, but the safety of autonomous driving cannot be ensured and continuously improved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety of autonomous drivingVSAvoidbehavior data utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by collecting and storing historical driving behavior data before actual driving decisions are needed. The system pre-processes behavior data from multiple vehicles to extract driving feature information in advance, creating a knowledge base that can be quickly accessed during autonomous driving operations. This allows the system to improve safety without adding complex real-time processing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces driving feature information as an intermediary between raw behavior data and driving decisions. The system extracts meaningful features such as lane-change positions, traveling speeds, and path characteristics from raw data, then uses these processed features to inform autonomous driving decisions. This intermediary layer transforms unstructured behavior data into actionable insights that improve safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If more behavior data is collected and processed, then the decision-making accuracy improves, but the data processing complexity and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecision-making accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies extraction by selectively extracting only the most relevant driving feature information from large volumes of behavior data. Instead of processing all raw data, the system identifies and extracts key features such as lane-change positions, traveling speeds, and path characteristics. This extraction approach maintains high decision-making accuracy while significantly reducing processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms raw behavior data into standardized driving feature parameters through data mining and processing. By converting diverse raw data into consistent parameter formats (position coordinates, speed values, path descriptors), the system enables efficient comparison and analysis without requiring complex processing of heterogeneous data structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If lane-level navigation data is included in historical driving data, then the driving feature information becomes more comprehensive, but the data storage and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensiveness of driving feature informationVSAvoiddata storage requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses copying by storing processed driving feature information that replicates the essential characteristics of comprehensive lane-level navigation data. Instead of storing all raw navigation data, the system creates condensed copies in the form of extracted features (lane-change positions, path characteristics) that capture the necessary information for safe autonomous driving decisions with reduced storage requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
