Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional driving support devices cannot effectively train drivers in a calm and efficient manner during vehicle travel, as they interrupt automatic driving and require training during vehicle operation.

Innovation Solution

A driving support device equipped with a driving support execution unit and a training control unit that executes training processing after the vehicle has started and while stopped, using a brake pedal, steering wheel, and automatic driving execution button, with a display control unit managing external displays during travel and training modes to simulate collision mitigation braking without alerting other vehicles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If driving support training is performed during vehicle travel, then training can be conducted in real driving conditions, but the driver cannot perform training calmly and efficiently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining in real driving conditionsVSAvoiddriver training calmness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs driving support training in advance by simulating driving operations when the vehicle is stopped, allowing the driver to familiarize themselves with the driving support functions before actual travel. This preliminary training reduces the cognitive load during real driving conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a virtual copy of the driving environment and operations through simulation training. The training mode replicates driving scenarios, brake operations, and steering inputs in a controlled virtual setting, allowing drivers to practice without the stresses of real-world driving conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Loss of information

If external display is activated during training processing, then training feedback is provided, but other vehicles may be alerted or distracted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining feedbackVSAvoiddistraction to other road users
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The external display device selectively displays information based on the vehicle's operational state. During training processing, the display is configured to show training feedback to the driver without projecting information that could distract other road users. The display content and visibility are locally optimized for the specific context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The external display's operational state dynamically changes based on whether the vehicle is in training mode or actual driving mode. The system adjusts display activation and content according to the current operational context, ensuring appropriate information is displayed only when safe and relevant.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Loss of information

If training is conducted during vehicle operation, then training data can be collected from actual driving scenarios, but training interrupts normal driving functions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining data collectionVSAvoiddriving efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system collects training data in advance during stopped vehicle conditions, performing simulation training before actual driving operations. This preliminary data collection and training phase allows the system to prepare training models without interrupting normal driving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The training process is segmented into distinct phases: simulation training during stopped conditions, and actual driving support during travel. By separating training data collection from normal driving operations, the system maintains driving efficiency while still gathering necessary training information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
