Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional in-vehicle display systems have a fixed imaging position, which requires frequent adjustments by the driver based on varying vehicle speed, weather, and road conditions, leading to driver fatigue and reduced safety.

Innovation Solution

An in-vehicle display system with a controller that adjusts the intermediate image receiving position based on current driving speed, weather, and road conditions, using an image generation device and transmission device to project and display images at a corresponding position, enhancing visibility and safety.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the imaging position is fixed, then the device structure is simple, but the driver needs to frequently adjust the display position according to driving conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriver operation convenienceVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of the intermediate image receiving position based on driving conditions. The controller receives driving condition information (speed, weather, road conditions) and automatically adjusts the intermediate image receiving position accordingly, transforming the static display system into a dynamic one that adapts to changing conditions without requiring driver intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The display system performs self-adjustment based on driving conditions. The controller automatically modifies the intermediate image receiving position according to sensor data about speed, weather, and road conditions, eliminating the need for manual driver adjustment and making the system serve itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If the driver frequently adjusts the display position, then the display can adapt to different conditions, but driver fatigue increases and safety decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay position adaptabilityVSAvoiddriving safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by receiving driving condition information from sensors (speed sensors, weather sensors, road condition sensors) and using this feedback to automatically adjust the intermediate image receiving position. This closed-loop control ensures the display adapts to conditions without requiring driver attention or action.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The display system automatically adjusts itself based on driving conditions, performing the adaptation function without driver involvement. This eliminates the safety risk associated with driver distraction while maintaining full adaptability to changing conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If the intermediate image receiving position is changeable, then the image can be displayed at the optimal position for current conditions, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage display position flexibilityVSAvoidoptical system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of the intermediate image receiving position based on driving conditions. The controller receives driving condition information (speed, weather, road conditions) and automatically adjusts the intermediate image receiving position accordingly, transforming the static display system into a dynamic one that adapts to changing conditions without requiring driver intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the position parameter of the intermediate image receiving part based on driving conditions. By adjusting this key parameter dynamically, the system achieves adaptability while managing complexity through focused parameter control rather than complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
