Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the amount of data transmitted and received through road-vehicle wireless communication increases to support sophisticated services, then service functionality is improved, but communication capacity is overwhelmed leading to data handling issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice functionalityVSAvoidcommunication reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The in-vehicle wireless communication device performs preliminary determination of the communication amount in the in-vehicle network before receiving data from external devices. By calculating and notifying the communication amount in advance, the system prepares the external device to transmit appropriately sized data, preventing communication overload before it occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the in-vehicle wireless communication device notifies the external device of the determined communication amount. This feedback loop allows the external device to adjust its data transmission size according to the actual communication capacity of the in-vehicle network, ensuring reliable data handling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Quantity of substance

If data transmission size is increased to provide more comprehensive services, then service quality is improved, but data overflow occurs overwhelming the communication system

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission volumeVSAvoiddata overflow
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system calculates the communication amount in the in-vehicle network before data transmission from external devices. By determining the maximum acceptable data size in advance and notifying the external device, the system prevents data overflow by ensuring that transmitted data volume matches the actual communication capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If the communication amount in the in-vehicle network is not controlled, then data completeness is maintained, but communication capacity is exceeded causing system overload

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidcommunication capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The in-vehicle wireless communication device performs preliminary calculation of the communication amount in the in-vehicle network before receiving external data. This advance determination allows the system to control incoming data volume to match actual communication capacity, preventing system overload while maintaining data completeness within the manageable communication amount.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
