Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional vehicle software update methods are used, then system stability is maintained, but adaptability and speed of deploying new features are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic function deployment by allowing vehicle software functions to be updated, added, or removed in real-time based on cloud-generated lambda functions. The system transitions from static pre-programmed functionality to dynamic cloud-controlled functionality, enabling rapid adaptation of vehicle behaviors without physical reconfiguration or lengthy update cycles
Solution Approach 2:
The patent pre-establishes a cloud-based infrastructure with lambda function generation capabilities and vehicle communication protocols before deployment. The cloud system is pre-configured to generate, validate, and transmit function definitions to vehicles, enabling rapid deployment when needed without requiring complex on-vehicle compilation or configuration processes
2Productivity
If cloud-generated lambda functions are implemented, then productivity and deployment speed improve, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cloud-based intermediary system that generates lambda functions and manages vehicle function definitions. This cloud intermediary handles the complexity of function compilation, validation, and version management, while vehicles receive simplified function definitions through standardized protocols. The intermediary absorbs architectural complexity away from the vehicle side, enabling high productivity without proportionally increasing on-vehicle system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a universal cloud-based lambda function generation platform that can deploy multiple types of vehicle functions through a single standardized interface. The system uses common communication protocols and data structures that work across different vehicle models and function types, reducing the need for model-specific complexity while maintaining high deployment efficiency across diverse applications
Data Source
AI summary
A method for dynamically changing functions of a vehicle, or one more vehicles, via cloud generated lambda or a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which is recorded instructions, includes: accessing a cloud application, via other communication protocols; generation of the lambda; implementing software services on a server or other remote devices; accessing a database via the cloud application; and transferring the lambda to one or more vehicles. The software services may include other communication protocols; a configuration manager; a database manager; and a trigger manager. The software services may further include a rule manager; a data collector; an action manager; and a status handler. The methods may further include configuration parameters, implemented for the monitoring and execution of the function on the vehicle, services and applications, implemented for the monitoring and execution of the function on the vehicle, or implementing configurations, via the cloud application.
