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 information displayed on such systems.

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 upon detection, errors are displayed on the screen or the data is retransmitted to ensure accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If CRC inspection is implemented for image data transmission, then reliability of displayed information is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional error checking mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of displayed informationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by generating CRC data in advance at the display processing device before transmitting image data to the display driving device. This allows the receiving device to perform error checking without needing complex error correction capabilities, as the verification data is prepared beforehand and transmitted alongside the image data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses CRC data as an intermediary element that facilitates reliable data transmission without requiring complex error correction mechanisms. The CRC data acts as a mediator that enables simple comparison-based error detection at the receiving end, resolving the contradiction between reliability and complexity by introducing a lightweight verification mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If error detection and retransmission mechanisms are added to ensure data accuracy, then reliability is improved, but loss of time increases due to additional transmission cycles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidtime for data transmission
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and transmitting CRC data along with the image data in the same transmission cycle. This eliminates the need for additional time-consuming error correction computations at the receiving end, as all verification data is prepared in advance and transmitted simultaneously with the primary data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements skipping by enabling the display driving device to quickly detect errors through simple CRC comparison and immediately request retransmission only when necessary. This approach rushes through the normal transmission process efficiently and only intervenes with retransmission when actual errors are detected, minimizing time loss while maintaining high reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)
