Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a method to inspect and prevent errors in critical data displayed on vehicle displays, which can impact safety, as existing technologies do not effectively check for errors in important regions of the information displayed.

Innovation Solution

A method involving cyclic redundancy check (CRC) data is used to inspect image data, where CRC data is generated and compared to detect errors, and if errors are found, they are displayed on the screen or the data is retransmitted to ensure accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If image data is transmitted without error checking, then data transmission speed is maintained, but data accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoiddata transmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by generating CRC data at the data processing device before transmission and performing CRC checking at the display driving device upon reception. This advance preparation of error detection mechanisms allows for rapid verification without requiring complex retransmission protocols, thus maintaining transmission speed while ensuring data accuracy through pre-configured error checking capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If CRC checking is performed on all image data, then data accuracy is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror detection capabilityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the image data transmission into distinct components: original image data, separately generated CRC data, and error indication signals. This segmentation allows the system to perform targeted CRC checking only where needed (at the display driving device) rather than requiring complex checking mechanisms throughout the entire system, thereby reducing overall processing complexity while maintaining comprehensive error detection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If error detection mechanisms are added, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay data reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces CRC data as an intermediary element that mediates between the transmitted image data and the error detection process. The CRC data serves as a compact verification companion that can be easily generated and checked without adding complex error detection hardware or software. This intermediary approach enhances reliability through systematic error checking while keeping the added complexity minimal and manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
