Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional information interaction methods are used in IoT-based vehicle-home interaction scenarios, then device control functionality is achieved, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoidinteraction time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an IoT platform as an intermediary component that mediates between the vehicle terminal and multiple smart home devices/servers. This platform integrates device management, authorization, and control functions, enabling streamlined interaction without requiring direct complex connections between the vehicle and each individual device, thus reducing operational complexity and time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The IoT platform is designed with multi-functional capabilities including device registration, authorization management, control instruction routing, and status querying. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single universal platform, the system eliminates the need for multiple separate interaction mechanisms, thereby simplifying operations and reducing time consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple servers and third-party management platforms are integrated through IoT platform, then the adaptability and expansion capability improve, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform compatibilityVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The IoT platform serves as a central intermediary that abstracts and standardizes connections to multiple underlying servers and third-party platforms. By implementing unified authorization mechanisms and standardized control instruction formats, the platform enables diverse devices to be integrated without directly managing the complexity of each individual system connection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system architecture is segmented into distinct functional modules: device registration module, authorization module, control instruction module, and status query module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, allowing the system to scale and adapt to new devices without requiring redesign of the entire system, thus managing complexity through modular organization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
