Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If centralized event control is implemented to improve information security, then security is enhanced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation securityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments user data into multiple independent data subunits that are distributed across different computing devices. Each data subunit can be independently controlled and managed, allowing security policies to be applied granularly without requiring centralized control of the entire dataset. This reduces the complexity burden of centralized security management while maintaining strong security controls.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

An event control computing platform acts as an intermediary between telematics devices and data provisioning servers. This intermediary receives vehicle operational data, evaluates criteria, and generates commands to control access and modifications to data subunits. The intermediary layer simplifies security management by centralizing decision-making logic while distributing data storage, thus improving security without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If real-time analysis of vehicle operational data is performed to optimize technical operations, then operational efficiency is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes criteria and rules for data access and modification before real-time processing occurs. Event criteria, data access policies, and modification rules are configured in advance, allowing the event control computing platform to quickly evaluate incoming vehicle operational data against pre-defined conditions without performing complex analysis in real-time. This preliminary setup reduces processing time while maintaining operational efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables automated self-service processing where the event control computing platform independently evaluates vehicle operational data against stored criteria and automatically generates appropriate commands without requiring manual intervention. This automation reduces processing time and computational overhead by eliminating human review steps while maintaining high operational efficiency through rule-based decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Aspects of the disclosure relate to multicomputer processing of vehicle operational data from telematics devices and other sources with centralized event control. An event control computing platform may receive vehicle operational data from a telematics device associated with a user. Subsequently, the event control computing platform may identify, based on the received data, whether at least one criterion associated with the user has been satisfied. If the received data indicates that the at least one criterion associated with the user has been satisfied, then the event control computing platform may generate a command configured to cause a change to a subunit of user data and then may transmit the generated command to a subunit provisioning server.
