Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If current methods for capturing and evaluating transportation vehicle data are used, then basic data collection is possible, but advanced user-specific services and secure data transmission cannot be provided
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data transmission process into multiple authorization stages: user authorization at the terminal, network component authorization, and data clearance verification. This segmentation enables both versatile service provision and secure data transmission by controlling access at each stage independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a network component as an intermediary between the terminal and data sources. This intermediary verifies clearances and manages authorization, enabling secure data transmission while supporting multiple user-specific services through centralized control.
2Reliability
If user authorization mechanisms are implemented for data transmission, then data security is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal authorization framework where the network component handles multiple functions: verifying clearances, managing user authorization, and controlling data transmission. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity by consolidating security management in a single component.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary authorization checks before data transmission occurs. The network component verifies user clearance and authorization in advance, which simplifies the transmission process and reduces complexity during actual data operations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If vehicles function as distributed sensors for services like weather monitoring, then service versatility increases, but data transmission requirements and security challenges increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables vehicles to function as distributed sensors by implementing a universal data transmission framework that supports multiple service types (weather monitoring, traffic analysis, etc.) through the same authorization and clearance verification mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The network component acts as an intermediary that manages data transmission from multiple vehicle sensors to various services. This centralized mediation simplifies the complexity of handling diverse data transmission requirements across different services.
