Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If navigation systems use basic shortest distance routing without considering traffic control information, then the routing algorithm is simple and fast, but the route accuracy and user satisfaction deteriorate because detours around control sections are not generated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveroute accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of control sections by analyzing traffic control information before route calculation. This advance identification and expansion of control sections allows the routing algorithm to pre-adjust paths, avoiding the need for complex real-time modifications during navigation while maintaining high route accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If navigation systems manually detect and expand control sections, then route accuracy improves, but the time and resources required for manual intervention increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol section detection accuracyVSAvoiddetection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects control sections by analyzing traffic control information and autonomously expands these sections based on road connectivity and directivity data. This self-service mechanism eliminates manual intervention, achieving high detection accuracy while minimizing time loss through automated processing of traffic control information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary analysis process that bridges raw traffic control information and route calculation. This intermediary layer automatically expands control sections by analyzing road connectivity and directivity, serving as a mediator that transforms unprocessed traffic data into actionable routing parameters without requiring manual detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If navigation systems consider comprehensive traffic control information including accidents and obstacles, then the detour route quality improves, but the data processing complexity and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetour route reliabilityVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and isolates control section information from comprehensive traffic control data, separating it from other traffic information such as general congestion or weather conditions. By extracting only the relevant control section data and expanding it systematically, the system maintains high detour route reliability while reducing overall data processing complexity through selective information extraction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
