Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If remote driving control is used with basic steering wheel, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal, then the vehicle can be controlled remotely, but the control precision is insufficient and task completion efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle control precisionVSAvoidtask completion efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic switching between multiple control modes (manual driving mode, navigation mode, monitoring mode) based on network status and running status. The cloud control unit adaptively adjusts the control strategy, transitioning from basic pedal/steering control to more precise control methods when conditions permit, thereby improving both control precision and task completion efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes control parameters by selecting different control modes according to network quality and vehicle status. When network status is good and positioning accuracy is sufficient, the system switches to navigation mode or monitoring mode which provide more precise control, thus resolving the contradiction between control precision and task completion efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple control modes are implemented to improve control precision, then the vehicle control adaptability increases, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle control mode adaptabilityVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cloud control unit automatically determines the appropriate control mode by evaluating network status information and running status information without requiring manual intervention. The system self-adjusts between control modes based on real-time conditions, providing adaptability while keeping the operation simple and avoiding the complexity that would arise from manual mode selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors network status and vehicle running status, using this feedback to dynamically select the most appropriate control mode. This feedback mechanism enables the system to adapt to changing conditions automatically, achieving high adaptability through a relatively simple decision-making process rather than complex manual control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If remote monitoring and path planning algorithms are added to improve control accuracy, then the positioning precision increases, but the information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidinformation processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements path planning and monitoring algorithms selectively based on whether they are available and needed, rather than always using them. When path planning algorithms are available and positioning accuracy is sufficient, the system uses these enhanced features to improve precision. This partial implementation approach achieves higher positioning accuracy when possible while avoiding the constant information processing load of always-running complex algorithms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
