Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If existing IoT solutions are used to manage large numbers of connections in 5G networks, then connectivity is provided, but security challenges and management complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the IoT network into multiple access points (APs) organized in hierarchical levels (Level 1, Level 2, etc.), where each AP manages a specific group of devices. This segmentation allows security policies to be applied at local levels rather than requiring centralized management of all connections, reducing security risks while maintaining large-scale connectivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces Level 2 access points as intermediary nodes between Level 1 APs and the core network. These Level 2 APs aggregate traffic from multiple Level 1 APs and provide an intermediate security layer, acting as mediators that reduce the attack surface and manage security challenges in large-scale IoT deployments.
2Adaptability or versatility
If distributed IoT devices are deployed throughout the environment, then navigation and communication capabilities are enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the distributed IoT device network into hierarchical levels with Level 1 access points serving local areas and Level 2 access points serving broader regions. This segmentation reduces system complexity by organizing devices into manageable groups with clear communication paths, while maintaining the navigation capabilities provided by distributed sensors throughout the environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple Level 1 access points under Level 2 access points, merging their navigation and communication functions into a coordinated hierarchical system. This merging reduces overall system complexity by creating unified management layers while preserving the enhanced navigation capabilities provided by the distributed sensor network.
3Measurement precision
If real-time data communication is implemented across the IoT network, then navigation accuracy is improved, but data management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments real-time data communication into hierarchical levels where Level 1 APs handle local sensor data collection and Level 2 APs aggregate and manage data for broader navigation decisions. This segmentation maintains navigation accuracy through real-time data while reducing data management complexity by distributing processing responsibilities across multiple levels.

AI summary
This application discloses an object control system (OCS) to control navigation of a moving vehicle when exiting from its own road or freeway to a new road or freeway. The new road or freeway is an underpass or overpass and have no physical junction with the moving vehicle's own road or freeway. The moving vehicles obtains its navigation information data from the IoT network it is registered with and a plurality of stationary objects near and in vicinity of an exit. The stationary objects during the time slots assigned to them by OCS transmit variety of information data that assist moving vehicle navigating to the right lane and exit. These stationary objects also provide an operation information data that is used in the new road or freeway in case the vehicle exits to a road or freeway that belongs to a new cell with different operation information data.
