Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the vehicle uses basic wireless communication to detect wearable devices, then device connectivity is achieved, but precise information collection from the devices is not possible due to lack of sensors and algorithms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that bridges the wearable device and the infotainment system. This intermediary component enables precise information collection by translating and processing data from the wearable device without requiring the vehicle to have complex sensors or algorithms, thus resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the need for physical sensors and complex algorithms in the vehicle with a software-based processing system. By substituting mechanical sensing components with computational methods, the system achieves precise information collection while maintaining relatively simple hardware architecture
2Adaptability or versatility
If the vehicle integrates wearable technology for enhanced user experience, then safety and infotainment experiences are improved, but the vehicle lacks the technical capability to gather precise information from user devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal interface and processing framework that can handle multiple types of wearable devices and their various data formats. This multi-functional system enables the vehicle to integrate diverse wearable technologies while maintaining accurate information collection across different device types, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and measurement precision
3Extent of automation
If the infotainment system manually processes wearable device data, then information can be collected, but automated services and natural user experiences cannot be provided
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary processing and pre-configured service templates that prepare the system in advance for handling wearable device data. By pre-establishing processing rules and service responses, the system can automatically act on collected information without requiring real-time manual intervention, thus achieving high automation while minimizing processing time loss
Data Source
AI summary
A method, vehicle information system, and non-transitory computer-readable media. A device is detected in a vehicle. In response to detecting the device in the vehicle, an application is provided to an In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system to collect information and provide a service to a user based on the collected information. The information collected from the detected device by the application provisioned to the IVI system is received. In response to receiving the information, an action is automatically triggered by the IVI system for the service based on the information collected by the application.
