Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If standard definition two-dimensional geographical map data is used to generate messages, then the process is simpler and requires fewer resources, but the accuracy and reliability of the messages deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegeographical map data accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary transformation of three-dimensional geographical map data into standardized two-dimensional message formats in advance, before the data is needed for vehicle communications. This pre-processing approach ensures high accuracy is achieved while the complexity is managed during the transformation phase rather than during real-time message generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If manual methods are used to create geographical map data messages, then resource consumption is reduced in terms of computing power, but labor intensity increases and productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage generation efficiencyVSAvoidcomputing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical processes with an automated computational system that transforms three-dimensional geographical map data into standardized messages using algorithmic processing. This substitution eliminates labor-intensive manual creation while efficiently managing computing resources through systematic data transformation rather than brute-force processing.

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

3Reliability

If three-dimensional high-definition geographical map data is processed, then message accuracy improves, but computing and networking resources are consumed more heavily

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage accuracyVSAvoidcomputing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential geometric and topological information from three-dimensional high-definition geographical map data that is necessary for accurate vehicle communications. By selecting and transforming only the critical elements rather than processing the entire three-dimensional dataset, the system achieves high message accuracy while significantly reducing computing and networking resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A device may receive three-dimensional geographical map data for a geographical region associated with a vehicle device of a vehicle and may process the three-dimensional geographical map data, with a data model, to transform the three-dimensional geographical map data into transformed geographical map data with a format that corresponds to a particular standard. The device may generate a message based on the transformed geographical map data and may cause the message to be provided to the vehicle device. The device may perform one or more actions based on the message.
