Solution Overview

Problem

Existing automobile inspection systems face challenges with poor synchronous screen effects due to low data transmission efficiency and delay in wireless modes, particularly in integrated machine setups, which hinder convenient operation and real-time data processing.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle measurement system with a control end and a controlled end, where the controlled end receives vehicle images from a camera component, processes them, and sends measurement results and synchronous display identification codes to the control end for real-time display, utilizing wireless or wired connections and data compression to enhance transmission efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If wireless mode is used for data transmission, then operational convenience is improved, but data transmission efficiency deteriorates and delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational convenienceVSAvoiddata transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data transmission process by introducing an intermediate server that receives data from the mobile terminal and forwards it to the remote control terminal. This segmentation allows the mobile terminal to maintain wireless connectivity for convenience while the server handles the actual data transmission, resolving the contradiction between wireless convenience and transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component between the mobile terminal and the remote control terminal. The server acts as a mediator that receives measurement data via wireless connection from the mobile terminal and transmits it to the remote control terminal, thereby enabling wireless operation while maintaining efficient data transmission through the intermediary server infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If integrated machine mode is used, then system stability is improved, but space requirement and device complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem stabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the measurement system into separate functional components: a mobile terminal for data collection, a server for data management and transmission, and a remote control terminal for display and control. This segmentation reduces the complexity of each individual device while maintaining overall system stability through distributed architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The server component serves multiple functions including receiving data from the mobile terminal, managing data storage, and transmitting data to the remote control terminal. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated devices for each function, thereby reducing overall device complexity while maintaining system reliability.

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

3Ease of operation

If screen capture stream mode is used for wireless transmission, then ease of operation is improved, but data transmission efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddata transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the real-time video stream transmission requirement from the data transmission process. Instead of transmitting continuous video streams which consume high bandwidth, the system extracts and transmits only the essential measurement data points, thereby improving data transmission efficiency while maintaining ease of operation through the wireless interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the data transmission parameter from continuous video stream format to discrete measurement data format. This parameter change reduces the data volume and transmission requirements while maintaining the essential functionality, thereby resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and data transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
