Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If vibration is generated through a consistent generation method, then the vibration delivery is simple and reliable, but it does not adapt to the driver's physical state or emotion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptation to driver's physical state or emotionVSAvoidcomplexity of vibration generation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The vibration generation system transitions from a static, consistent generation method to a dynamic system that continuously adapts to the driver's physical state and emotion. The system adjusts vibration characteristics in real-time based on detected driver conditions, making the previously fixed system flexible and responsive to changing states.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by detecting the driver's physical state and emotion through sensors and analysis devices. This feedback loop enables the vibration generation device to receive information about the driver's condition and adjust its output accordingly, creating a closed-loop adaptive system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If vibration warning is generated in steering wheels, then the warning function is provided, but it still does not consider the driver's physical state or emotion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconsideration of driver's physical state or emotion in warningVSAvoidinformation about driver's state
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection and analysis of the driver's physical state and emotion before generating vibration warnings. By analyzing driver conditions in advance and continuously monitoring them, the system prepares appropriate vibration responses based on the detected state, ensuring that warnings are tailored to the driver's current condition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If multiple types of driver state information are analyzed, then the personalization of vibration signals is improved, but the complexity of information processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of driver state analysisVSAvoidcomplexity of state analysis device
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The state analysis device is divided into multiple specialized analysis devices, each responsible for processing a specific type of driver state information (image analysis device for facial expressions, voice analysis device for vocal characteristics, biometric signal analysis device for physiological data). This segmentation allows each component to focus on a specific analysis task, improving overall precision while managing complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The state analysis device is designed as a multi-functional system that can process multiple types of driver state information simultaneously. By creating a universal analysis platform capable of handling various input types (images, voice, biometric signals), the system achieves comprehensive driver state monitoring without requiring entirely separate systems for each analysis type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
