Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If cloud-based detection systems collect and analyze position and motion data from multiple vehicles, then detection capability and safety monitoring are improved, but data processing complexity and computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection capabilityVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the detection process by creating separate detection modules for different hazard types (collision detection module, hazardous driving behavior detection module, endangered vehicle identification module). Each module processes specific aspects of vehicle data independently, reducing overall processing complexity while maintaining comprehensive detection capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a cloud-based data center as an intermediary that receives, stores, and processes position and motion data from multiple vehicles. This centralized intermediary handles the computational complexity remotely, allowing individual vehicle systems to remain simple while achieving sophisticated collective detection capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of time

If real-time detection and warning systems are implemented, then response time and safety intervention are improved, but system complexity and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse timeVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously collecting and pre-processing position and motion data from vehicles, maintaining ready-to-analyze data buffers in the cloud. When potential hazards are detected through simple threshold comparisons, warnings are immediately issued without requiring complex real-time computation, thus achieving fast response with minimal system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Vehicles autonomously collect their own position and motion data using onboard sensors and transmit it to the cloud system. The system automatically detects hazards by comparing data patterns against predefined criteria and issues warnings without human intervention, reducing the need for complex centralized control while maintaining real-time monitoring capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
