Solution Overview

Problem

Existing intrusion detection systems (IDS) in vehicles require the complete feature set for classification, leading to high latency and computational inefficiencies, which hinders real-time identification of malicious actors or actions.

Innovation Solution

The system accelerates classification by speculating on a likely classification result using a random forest model based on a partial set of features, identifying committed nodes, and removing unreachable labels, thereby reducing the need for complete feature extraction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the complete feature set is used for classification in IDS, then classification accuracy is improved, but latency and computational resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidclassification latency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification using a subset of features before complete feature extraction is finished. By speculating on the classification result based on available features and identifying committed nodes in the random forest model, the system can make early classification decisions without waiting for all features to be extracted, thus reducing latency while maintaining accuracy through subsequent refinement if needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses only a partial set of features for classification instead of requiring the complete feature set. By identifying committed nodes that can be determined with partial features and removing unreachable labels, the system achieves classification with less than 100% of the required information, trading off some computational work for reduced latency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Reliability

If the complete feature set is extracted and processed, then classification reliability is improved, but computational resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification reliabilityVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary subset of features required for classification by identifying committed nodes in the random forest model. Features that would lead to unreachable labels are not processed, effectively extracting only the useful portion of the feature set needed for reliable classification while discarding redundant computational steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial feature extraction and processing by stopping once committed nodes are identified and unreachable labels are removed. This partial action approach achieves sufficient classification reliability without the excessive computational resource consumption of processing the entire feature set

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Speed

If real-time classification is implemented with partial features, then latency is reduced, but classification accuracy may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification speedVSAvoidclassification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs a preliminary classification with partial features to achieve fast initial results, then can refine the classification if needed. The speculation on classification result using committed nodes provides a quick first-pass accuracy that can be improved upon with additional features if the application requires higher precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of feature completeness from 100% to a partial set by identifying committed nodes and removing unreachable labels. This parameter change enables faster classification speed while the random forest model's structure ensures that the partial features used are the most informative ones, minimizing accuracy deterioration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
