Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional ADAS sensing systems are used, then the system structure remains simple, but the sensing range is limited and safety capability is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety capabilityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a cloud platform as an intermediary between multiple vehicles to enable collaboration. The cloud platform receives ADAS capability information from vehicle terminals, performs matching algorithms, and distributes enhancement service messages. This intermediary approach allows vehicles to share sensing data and capabilities without direct complex peer-to-peer communication, thereby improving safety capability while managing system complexity through centralized coordination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the sensing capabilities of multiple vehicles by collecting ADAS capability information from different vehicle terminals and combining their detection results through the cloud platform. This merging approach effectively expands the overall sensing range beyond what any single vehicle can achieve, improving safety capability by creating a collaborative sensing network.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If multiple vehicles collaborate to expand sensing range, then the safety capability improves, but the information interaction complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety capabilityVSAvoidinformation interaction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of information representation by standardizing ADAS capability information into structured data formats that include vehicle identification, sensing capabilities, and service requirements. This parameter standardization enables efficient information matching and reduces interaction complexity, allowing the cloud platform to process and distribute enhancement service messages effectively while maintaining high information interaction efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cloud platform is designed with multi-functionality to handle various ADAS enhancement services. It can process different types of ADAS capability information, perform matching algorithms for different service scenarios, and distribute enhancement messages to multiple vehicle terminals. This universal design allows the same infrastructure to serve multiple purposes, expanding sensing range without proportionally increasing infrastructure complexity.

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