Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If autonomous mobile vehicles operate independently with decision-making technology, then vehicle autonomy and independence are improved, but communication efficiency and control capability between vehicles and people deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle autonomyVSAvoidcommunication efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a communication platform as an intermediary between autonomous mobile vehicles and external terminals (people). This platform receives information from vehicles, processes it, and transmits control commands back to vehicles, enabling efficient human-vehicle communication without compromising vehicle autonomy. The platform acts as a mediator that bridges the information gap between independent vehicles and human operators.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Extent of automation

If autonomous mobile vehicles make decisions independently through AI technologies, then decision-making capability is improved, but the ability to receive and respond to human control signals deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecision-making capabilityVSAvoidhuman control capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic control system where the autonomous mobile vehicle can switch between autonomous decision-making mode and human-controlled mode. The vehicle's control system is designed to be flexible, accepting control signals from external terminals when needed while maintaining independent decision-making capabilities. This dynamic adaptability allows the vehicle to respond to human control requests without losing its autonomous functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If information sharing between autonomous vehicles and people is established, then coexistence and interaction are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs a universal communication platform that handles multiple functions: receiving vehicle status information, transmitting control commands, managing communication protocols, and coordinating between different vehicles and terminals. This multi-functional platform reduces overall system complexity by consolidating various communication and control functions into a single standardized interface, rather than requiring separate systems for each function.

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