Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional road map construction methods are used, then the system is simpler, but lane accuracy is low and update efficiency is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelane detection accuracyVSAvoidmap construction system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a large model as an intermediary component that processes prompt information and image data to generate accurate lane attributes. This intermediary system enables high-precision lane detection without requiring complex traditional processing pipelines, thereby improving measurement precision while managing system complexity through modular integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical/map-based lane detection systems with an AI-driven large model system. This substitution eliminates the need for complex traditional algorithms and hardware configurations, achieving superior lane accuracy through computational intelligence rather than mechanical processing systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Productivity

If traditional road map construction methods are used, then the system is simpler, but update efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements continuous map updating through the large model system that continuously processes new image data and prompt information. This continuous action enables real-time or near-real-time map updates, significantly improving productivity while the modular architecture keeps system complexity manageable through ongoing optimization rather than complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Measurement precision

If associated-region lane attributes are incorporated, then lane detection accuracy improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelane attribute representation accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary processing by pre-processing image data and prompt information before feeding them to the large model. This preliminary action includes preparing associated-region lane attributes in advance, which reduces the actual processing time when the large model executes, thereby achieving high accuracy while minimizing time loss through efficient data preparation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method of constructing a map based on a large model, a vehicle control method, an electronic device, and a storage medium are provided, which relate to a field of artificial intelligence technology, in particular to fields of computer vision, deep learning, large model and generative model technologies. The method includes: acquiring an associated-region lane attribute and an image to be detected, which is collected by an onboard sensor and represents a road region to be detected; constructing a target prompt information based on the associated-region lane attribute; and processing the target prompt information and the image to be detected by using the large model to obtain a regional road map for the road region to be detected. The associated-region lane attribute corresponds to an associated road region, and the associated road region and the road region to be detected meet a predetermined similarity condition.
