Innovation Solution

A cloud-computing platform providing a suite of services including sensor-based analytics, feature extraction, classification, clustering, and visualization, enabling real-time data capture, storage, and deployment of telemetry applications, with data reusability and context-aware services for developing novel applications that monitor vehicle and road conditions, driver habits, and passenger behaviors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple standalone vehicular applications are developed for specific activities, then specific monitoring functions are achieved, but data reusability and service integration are hindered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecific monitoring functionVSAvoiddata reusability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a unified vehicular telemetry platform that provides multiple services (sensor data capture, storage, analytics, application deployment) through a single integrated system. The platform uses common data structures and service interfaces that can be reused across different telemetry applications, eliminating the need for each application to independently implement data collection and storage mechanisms.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If a unified platform is created for multiple vehicular telemetry applications, then data reusability and service integration are improved, but platform complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reusabilityVSAvoidplatform structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The unified platform is divided into distinct modular services including sensor data capture service, data storage service, analytics service, and application deployment service. Each service operates independently with well-defined interfaces, allowing them to be developed, maintained, and scaled separately while contributing to the overall platform functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces standardized data structures and service interfaces as intermediaries between different platform components. These intermediaries enable seamless data flow and communication between services without requiring direct integration between each component, thereby managing complexity through abstraction layers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If standalone applications are deployed on smartphones or telematics platforms, then specific telemetry functions are provided, but integration with other services is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication deploymentVSAvoidservice integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines previously separate functions (data capture, storage, analytics, and application deployment) into a single integrated vehicular telemetry platform. This merging enables applications to access multiple services through unified interfaces, improving service integration while maintaining ease of deployment through the platform's standardized application interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
