Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If autonomous driving control is performed based on standard setting values from neural network operations, then the autonomous driving function can be implemented, but the system does not reflect driver's driving characteristics and habit, causing decreased reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of autonomous driving systemVSAvoidadaptation to driver's driving characteristics
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by collecting and analyzing driver's manual driving characteristics before implementing autonomous driving. The first SoC processes sensor information and manual operation information to establish a baseline of driver behavior patterns, which is then used to adjust autonomous driving setting values, ensuring the system adapts to individual driver preferences rather than using generic algorithms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously comparing the driver's manual driving characteristics with the autonomous driving control outputs. The second SoC receives feedback from the first SoC about driver preferences and adjusts the setting values accordingly, creating a closed-loop system that learns from and adapts to driver behavior, thereby improving reliability through personalized adaptation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If a single SoC is used for autonomous driving control, then the device complexity is reduced, but the system cannot simultaneously capture manual driving characteristics and correct autonomous driving settings in real-time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time correction capabilityVSAvoiddual SoC architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies segmentation by dividing the autonomous driving control function into two distinct SoCs with specialized roles. The first SoC is dedicated to processing sensor information and analyzing manual driving characteristics, while the second SoC focuses on generating and correcting autonomous driving setting values. This functional segmentation allows each unit to optimize its specific task while collectively achieving real-time adaptation without excessive complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If autonomous driving setting values are fixed based on neural network operations, then the control algorithm is simple, but the system cannot account for individual driver preferences and circumstances

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptation to individual driver preferencesVSAvoidprocessing speed for setting value calculation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing and analyzing driver behavior patterns during manual driving phases. The first SoC captures and stores driver preferences and characteristics before autonomous driving engagement, creating a ready-to-use profile that the second SoC can quickly reference and apply, thus maintaining processing speed while achieving personalized adaptation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the effectiveness of autonomous driving setting values and comparing them with driver preferences. The second SoC receives real-time feedback from the first SoC about driver reactions and adjusts setting values dynamically, creating an adaptive system that balances processing efficiency with personalized customization based on actual driver responses

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
