Solution Overview

Problem

Current vehicle diagnostic equipment struggles to quickly locate target data streams among many due to unordered display and slow refreshing speeds, as it reads data streams by name rather than chronological order, leading to inefficient data retrieval and processing.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle data stream displaying method that numbers and sorts data streams, allows for targeted selection, and implements paging to efficiently refresh and display data streams, establishing a correlation between page numbers and data quantities for rapid retrieval.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If data streams are displayed in chronological order of reading, then the display is simple and continuous, but diagnosis workers cannot quickly locate target data streams among many

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of locating target data streamVSAvoiddata stream processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the large set of data streams into multiple pages, with each page displaying a limited number of data streams. This segmentation allows diagnosis workers to quickly locate target data streams by navigating through organized pages rather than searching through all data streams chronologically, resolving the contradiction between ease of locating and processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of organization by sorting data streams according to their names in addition to the chronological reading order. This creates a multi-dimensional display structure where data streams can be accessed both chronologically and alphabetically, enabling quick location without increasing processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Speed

If all vehicle data streams are re-read during refreshing, then data accuracy is maintained, but refreshing speed becomes slow

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata stream refreshing speedVSAvoiddata stream accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and displays only the necessary data streams that are currently viewed by the diagnosis worker, rather than re-reading all vehicle data streams during refreshing. This extraction approach maintains data accuracy for relevant streams while significantly improving refreshing speed by avoiding unnecessary reads of unrelated data streams.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial refreshing by updating only the specific data streams that are currently displayed and needed, rather than performing a complete refresh of all data streams. This partial action approach maintains sufficient data accuracy while dramatically improving refreshing speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If multiple data streams are selected and viewed from many displayed streams, then comprehensive diagnosis is achieved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic efficiencyVSAvoidtime to view target data stream
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary sorting of data streams according to their names before display, so that when diagnosis workers need to view multiple target data streams, they can quickly locate them in the pre-sorted list rather than searching through unsorted chronological data. This preliminary organization reduces time consumption while enabling comprehensive diagnosis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a vehicle data stream displaying method and system, and a vehicle diagnostic device. The method includes: numbering at least one vehicle data stream that is displayed out of order; sorting the vehicle data stream, and displaying the vehicle data stream according to a sorting order; selecting at least one target data stream from the vehicle data stream according to a target data stream selection instruction; paging displaying the at least one target data stream; obtaining number data of a target data stream displayed on each page, and establishing a correlation relationship between a display page number and the number data; and paging refreshing a target data stream displayed on a current page, according to the correlation relationship between the display page number and the number data if a refreshing instruction is received.
