Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional driving systems require simultaneous hand and foot operations, making it difficult for new drivers to control vehicle direction and speed, leading to a high accident rate due to complex and synergistic limb operations.

Innovation Solution

A driving control device that uses a touch unit to acquire fingerprint information and generate touch signals, which are then used to create driving control signals to control vehicle parameters such as direction and speed, allowing drivers to control the vehicle by touch without needing to operate a steering wheel or throttle manually.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional manual transmission driving system and automatic transmission driving system are used with steering wheel and joystick, clutch, throttle and brake, then the vehicle can be controlled for direction and speed, but the driver must take driving actions with hands and feet at the same time which requires synergic operation capability and makes complicated driving actions difficult for new drivers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of vehicle controlVSAvoidcomplexity of driving operations
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical driving control systems (steering wheel, joystick, clutch, throttle, brake) with a touch-sensitive panel system that detects finger touch positions and converts them into vehicle control signals. This substitution eliminates the need for complex hand-foot coordination while maintaining full vehicle control capability through a simplified touch interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a virtual representation of the vehicle's control interface on a touch-sensitive panel, where touch positions correspond to virtual control elements. This copying approach allows drivers to interact with vehicle controls through intuitive touch gestures rather than manipulating physical mechanical components, significantly reducing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If traditional driving control systems require simultaneous hand and foot operations, then complete vehicle control is achieved, but the accident rate increases during initial driving due to difficulty in coordinating multiple limbs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving safetyVSAvoidease of limb coordination
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces mechanical pedal and steering wheel operations with touch-sensitive panel interactions, eliminating the need for complex hand-foot coordination. This substitution maintains complete vehicle control while dramatically improving driving safety by reducing the coordination burden on new drivers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of operation

If touch unit acquires fingerprint information and generates touch signals to control vehicle parameters, then direction control is simplified and accident rates are reduced, but the system requires fingerprint recognition capability and touch signal processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of direction controlVSAvoidcomplexity of touch control system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses fingerprint recognition to create a unique digital identifier for each driver, storing the fingerprint template and associated driving preferences in memory. This copying approach allows the system to automatically adapt to individual drivers without requiring complex manual configuration, simplifying operation while managing system complexity through automated biometric authentication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
