Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the vehicle user parks the vehicle and moves away without coordinated mobility solutions, then the user can freely move to different locations, but the user comfort and mobility efficiency are reduced due to lack of adaptive functionality
Solution Approach 1:
The system determines the vehicle position and user device position in advance, calculates optimal meeting points before the user actually needs to return to the vehicle, and prepares navigation routes proactively. This preliminary determination of positions and calculation of meeting points enables the user to move freely while the system already has the information needed to provide optimized mobility solutions when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors the user device position relative to the vehicle position and provides feedback by suggesting optimal meeting points and routes. When the user's position changes or when the vehicle moves, the system recalculates and updates the meeting point suggestions, creating a closed-loop feedback system that adapts to the user's movements and provides real-time mobility optimization.
2Productivity
If traditional navigation systems are used without adaptive meeting point calculation, then the system is simple to implement, but travel time and energy consumption are not optimized
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a multi-functional approach where the position determination mechanism serves multiple purposes: it tracks the vehicle location, monitors the user device location, calculates optimal meeting points, and provides navigation guidance. By making the position determination system universal and multi-functional, the patent avoids adding separate dedicated systems for each function, thereby reducing overall complexity while achieving multiple benefits including reduced travel time and energy consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically determines positions, calculates optimal meeting points, and generates navigation routes without requiring manual user input or complex configuration. The functionality adapts automatically based on the determined positions of the vehicle and user device, making the system self-sufficient and reducing the complexity of user interaction while improving productivity through optimized travel routes.
3Loss of time
If real-time position tracking and adaptive functionality are implemented, then user mobility comfort and efficiency are enhanced, but energy consumption and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements position tracking and meeting point calculation selectively rather than continuously at full capacity. It determines positions and calculates optimal meeting points based on triggering conditions such as when the user moves beyond a certain distance from the vehicle or when the vehicle itself moves. This partial action approach reduces energy consumption while still achieving the goal of minimizing time to return to the vehicle by providing timely meeting point suggestions.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the system adapts functionality based on determined positions, then the functionality becomes more versatile and user-specific, but the system complexity and computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies adaptability locally rather than globally - it determines positions and calculates meeting points specifically for the current situation and user context, rather than maintaining complex adaptive logic for all possible scenarios. The functionality adapts to the local conditions (current positions, environmental factors) without requiring a comprehensive complex system that handles every possible situation, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining person-specific and situation-specific versatility where needed.
