Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional battery SOH prediction methods are used, then the prediction process is simple, but the prediction accuracy is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple data sources (battery information, driving information, and SOH data from probe vehicles) into a unified training dataset for the AI model. This combination of diverse data types enables more accurate SOH prediction by capturing both battery degradation patterns and their relationship with actual driving conditions, resolving the contradiction between simple prediction methods and accurate results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an AI model as an intermediary between raw battery data and SOH prediction results. This intermediary component processes complex relationships between battery parameters and degradation, enabling high accuracy prediction while managing system complexity through a dedicated predictive layer that can be trained and optimized independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If only battery information is used for prediction, then the data collection is simple, but the prediction accuracy is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines battery information with driving information and probe vehicle SOH data to create a comprehensive training dataset. This merging of multiple data types increases the information content available for prediction, enabling the AI model to learn more accurate degradation patterns that account for real-world operating conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds new dimensions to the prediction problem by incorporating driving information (speed, acceleration, route) and probe vehicle SOH data alongside traditional battery parameters. This dimensional expansion transforms the prediction from a single-dimension battery parameter analysis to a multi-dimensional assessment that captures the complex relationship between usage patterns and battery degradation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Measurement precision

If AI model training is implemented, then prediction accuracy improves, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs AI model training in advance using historical battery information, driving information, and probe vehicle SOH data. This preliminary action creates a pre-trained model that can then make predictions quickly in real-time applications, separating the time-consuming training phase from the time-sensitive prediction phase to resolve the contradiction between accuracy and processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses data from probe vehicles (other vehicles with similar batteries) to create training examples that replicate real-world degradation patterns. This copying of actual operational data from multiple sources provides the AI model with comprehensive training material without requiring extensive real-time data collection and processing for each prediction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
