Solution Overview

Problem

The existing charging systems for all-electric vehicles face challenges such as long charging times, short driving mileage, and difficulties in rapidly locating stranded vehicles for rescue, leading to inefficient and unsatisfactory rescue services.

Innovation Solution

A charging rescue system comprising a rescue vehicle APP, a charging rescue vehicle, and a rescue platform that utilizes GPS, direct current and alternating current battery chargers, and a communication module to facilitate one-key rescue functions, optimize vehicle dispatching, and provide transparent and time-sensitive services.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If mobile charging vehicles are launched to provide rescue services, then the availability of charging rescue is improved, but the time to locate and dispatch rescue vehicles is extended due to unclear geographic position description

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveavailability of charging rescueVSAvoidtime to locate and dispatch rescue vehicle

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a rescue platform as an intermediary between users and rescue vehicles. The platform receives rescue requests with precise GPS coordinates, automatically dispatches the nearest available rescue vehicle, and tracks the rescue process in real-time. This mediator eliminates the time loss caused by manual location description and dispatch coordination.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical system of location description and vehicle dispatch with an automated electronic system. GPS technology provides precise location data, and the rescue platform's algorithm automatically selects and assigns the nearest rescue vehicle, substituting human coordination with automated electronic dispatch.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Device complexity

If users passively wait for rescue vehicles after applying for rescue, then the rescue process is simplified, but the user experience deteriorates due to lack of real-time information

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesimplicity of rescue processVSAvoiduser experience during rescue

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements real-time feedback mechanisms where the rescue platform continuously updates users on their rescue request status, the assigned rescue vehicle's location and arrival time, and the charging process progress. This feedback loop maintains system simplicity while dramatically improving user experience through transparent real-time information.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If half-compulsory service is implemented for rescue, then service coverage is improved, but service quality deteriorates due to long service process and poor service attitude

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice coverageVSAvoidservice quality

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static, rigid half-compulsory service model into a dynamic system where users can view real-time information about rescue vehicle location, estimated arrival time, and charging progress. This dynamic transparency allows users to make informed decisions while maintaining service coverage, improving perceived service quality without reducing accessibility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

4Device complexity

If traditional rescue dispatching is used without optimization, then system complexity is reduced, but rescue efficiency decreases due to inability to rapidly locate and dispatch nearest rescue vehicle

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesimplicity of dispatching systemVSAvoidrescue efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing the geographic locations and operational statuses of all rescue vehicles in the rescue platform's database. When a rescue request is received, the system immediately queries this pre-prepared data to identify and dispatch the nearest available vehicle, eliminating the need for complex real-time calculations and significantly improving rescue efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
