Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sensing technologies struggle to effectively identify and distinguish the trajectories of multiple targets in complex environments where trajectories intersect, leading to difficulties in viewing and recognizing multiple targets accurately.

Innovation Solution

A multi-target trajectory decomposition observation method that involves acquiring sensing signals to determine location information and signal energy, displaying sensing points on a map, and decomposing motion trajectories to characterize moving targets, enhancing the display and recognition of multiple targets by adjusting pixel values based on signal energy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If multiple targets are sensed and displayed on a map in complex environments, then the quantity of sensed information increases, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring trajectories increases due to intersecting paths

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of sensed informationVSAvoiddifficulty of detecting trajectories
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by decomposing the sensing information of multiple targets into separate channels. Each target's trajectory is processed and displayed independently through channel division, which allows the system to handle multiple intersecting trajectories without confusion. The sensing information is segmented by target identifier, enabling clear distinction and measurement of each trajectory even in complex environments with many overlapping paths.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Area of stationary object

If trajectories of multiple moving targets are displayed on a single map, then the area of display is efficient, but the reliability of trajectory identification decreases due to intersecting paths

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay area efficiencyVSAvoidreliability of trajectory identification
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces channel information as an intermediary layer between the map display and trajectory identification. Each trajectory is associated with a unique channel identifier that acts as a mediator, allowing the system to maintain reliable identification of individual trajectories even when they visually intersect on the shared map display. The channel information serves as an additional dimension that disambiguates overlapping paths.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If sensing points are displayed based on location information only, then the ease of operation is simple, but the measurement precision of target identification decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of display operationVSAvoidprecision of target identification
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making the display characteristics of sensing points variable based on their associated channel information. Instead of uniform display for all targets, the system adjusts display properties such as color, brightness, or markers locally for each sensing point according to its channel identifier. This allows the display to remain simple in operation while achieving high precision in target identification through differentiated visual cues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
