Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for publishing resource information by acquiring and generating battery swapping demand and station information, allowing for diversified resource information publication to meet user and operator demands, optimize resource utilization, and improve user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If battery swapping stations operate with limited battery resources, then the station can maintain simpler inventory management, but user demand cannot be met and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to meet user demandVSAvoidbattery resource availability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a multi-functional resource information publishing system that serves multiple purposes: it publishes real-time battery availability, provides demand prediction, offers routing guidance to different swapping stations, and enables dynamic resource allocation. This single system performs multiple functions to overcome the limitation of limited battery resources at individual stations.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a cloud-based resource information publishing apparatus as an intermediary between users and battery swapping stations. This intermediary collects data from multiple stations, processes it through demand prediction algorithms, and provides comprehensive resource information to users, enabling them to make informed decisions about where to swap batteries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If battery swapping stations publish only basic resource status, then the information system remains simple, but it cannot provide diversified information to meet different user and operator requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediversity of resource informationVSAvoidinformation publishing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments resource information into multiple categories: real-time battery availability, demand prediction results, station capacity information, and routing guidance. Each category serves specific user or operator needs. The system publishes these segmented information types through appropriate channels to different stakeholders.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds temporal dimension by publishing both real-time battery status and predicted future availability. It also adds a spatial dimension by providing routing guidance to different swapping stations based on their resource status. This multi-dimensional information approach comprehensively meets diverse requirements without proportionally increasing system complexity.

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

3Productivity

If battery swapping stations do not predict demand, then the system operates with simpler real-time data only, but resource allocation efficiency decreases and congestion increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization rateVSAvoiddemand prediction capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements demand prediction functionality that performs preliminary analysis of future battery swapping requirements. By predicting demand in advance, the system can proactively guide users to stations with adequate resources before congestion occurs, improving resource utilization and reducing waiting times.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
