Innovation Solution
A method and system for managing information on the design of electric components for vehicles, which includes a standardization module for defining standard version and code management systems, and modules for design information standard management, project management, processing management, and status management to facilitate a unified and reusable design information platform.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional methods are used to design controllers by linking individual controllers with different purposes, then controller design can be performed, but the design process becomes increasingly complex and error-prone as the number of controller types increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes a universal design information management system that serves all controller types through standardized classification codes and a centralized database. The system provides common functions for document management, version control, and information retrieval across diverse controller designs, eliminating the need for separate design processes for each controller type.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments controller design information into standardized categories using classification codes (e.g., controller type, function, version). This segmentation allows complex design information to be organized into manageable units that can be systematically stored, retrieved, and reused across different controller projects.
2Ease of operation
If design information is received and managed through individual designer's personal computers via unofficial channels, then design information can be collected, but the information cannot be reused and significant loss occurs due to design omissions and errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a centralized design information management system as an intermediary between designers and the design database. This system provides official channels for receiving, storing, and managing design information, ensuring that all information passes through a controlled process that prevents loss and errors while maintaining ease of collection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms through version control and status tracking, where design information changes are recorded and notified to relevant parties. This feedback loop ensures that design omissions and errors are detected and corrected, maintaining high accuracy while allowing continuous information collection.
3Extent of automation
If a computerized system is established to receive design information for specific controllers, then design information can be managed computerized, but the system is non-general and non-extensible and cannot be applied to all controllers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal computerized system that can accommodate all controller types through standardized classification codes and a flexible database structure. The system provides common automated functions for document management, version control, and information retrieval that work across diverse controller designs, making it fully extensible to future controller types.

AI summary
A method of managing information on design of electric components for vehicles may include: defining a standard version management system and a standard code management system for at least one electric component as a document classification format and defining a document processing status and a document processing process to respond to requests from an external source based on the document classification format; registering the component as a standard component and managing information on the version of the standard component and the functions related thereto; registering at least one standard component applied to at least one vehicle model and managing the functions of the standard component and the functions related thereto; receiving information related the standard component applied to the vehicle model and reviewing reliability of the information; and receiving design information of the information related the standard component applied to the vehicle model and updating and notifying changed information.
