Solution Overview

Problem

The existing service execution process in vehicle function as a service faces challenges with real-time performance and synchronicity due to communication delays and sequential execution of commands, which hinder effective service delivery.

Innovation Solution

An orchestration instruction management method that encodes service execution information into a fixed information arrangement mode using a preset protocol, allowing for real-time, permanent, or time-limited instructions, and transmits them to an embedded platform for immediate or conditional execution, eliminating communication delays and ensuring synchronicity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If service invoking commands are transmitted through in-vehicle communication network, then service execution can be achieved, but communication delay occurs and real-time performance cannot be met

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice execution reliabilityVSAvoidcommunication delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-encoding service orchestration information into orchestration instructions with predetermined execution time sequences and incoming parameters before transmission. This allows the embedded platform to execute services immediately upon receiving triggering events without waiting for head unit commands, thereby eliminating communication delay while ensuring reliable service execution through pre-planned instruction sequences

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If service invoking commands are executed in order, then execution sequence is controlled, but time difference between operations occurs and synchronicity is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexecution sequence controlVSAvoidtime difference between operations
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the instruction execution mode adaptable - instructions are encoded with execution time sequences that allow both sequential execution (for ordered operations) and immediate execution (for time-sensitive operations). The embedded platform dynamically selects execution timing based on instruction type and triggering events, enabling both controlled sequencing and synchronized execution without fixed time differences

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

An orchestration instruction management method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium are provided. In the method, service information of a target head unit is obtained, and a service execution time sequence and an incoming parameter are determined. Then, the service execution time sequence and the incoming parameter are encoded according to a preset instruction orchestration protocol, to generate an orchestration instruction in a fixed information arrangement mode. The orchestration instruction is transmitted to an embedded platform based on a preset orchestration instruction interface, and is decoded to perform service execution according to the orchestration instruction. In the method, the orchestration information is generated for the service information of the target head unit based on a specific sequence and an orchestration protocol, to replace original head unit system control information in different forms under a plurality of protocols with a unified instruction form. An instruction type is limited, so that temporary communication between a head unit system and the embedded platform is avoided. Service execution is performed according to the orchestration instruction, so that a time difference brought by communication can be eliminated, and a problem that real-time performance and synchronicity cannot be met in a service execution process of the head unit is effectively solved.
