Innovation Solution

A system and method for GNSS interference monitoring that includes a processor configured to calculate detection parameters based on carrier-to-noise measurements and determine the state of signals, while suspending interference detection during vehicle maneuvers to avoid false alarms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If interference detection is continuously performed, then detection capability is maintained, but false detections increase during vehicle maneuvers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidfalse detections
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts its detection behavior based on vehicle motion state. During maneuvers, the interference detection function is temporarily suspended or reduced, while maintaining normal operation during steady-state conditions. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by preventing false detections during maneuvers while preserving detection capability when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the detection parameter threshold or detection enabled/disabled state based on vehicle maneuver detection. When maneuver conditions are detected, the system modifies the interference detection parameters (either suspending detection or adjusting thresholds) to avoid false alarms, thereby resolving the contradiction between continuous detection and false detection prevention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If detection parameters are highly sensitive, then interference detection capability improves, but false alarms during maneuvers increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference detection sensitivityVSAvoiddetection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs dynamic threshold adjustment where detection sensitivity is high during steady-state conditions but reduced or suspended during vehicle maneuvers. This allows the system to maintain measurement precision for genuine interference detection while preventing false alarms during dynamic vehicle operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary detection of vehicle maneuver conditions before finalizing interference detection decisions. By anticipating and identifying maneuver states in advance, the system can preemptively adjust detection sensitivity or suspend detection, preventing false alarms while maintaining high sensitivity for actual interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
