Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic device traveling methods do not consider objects that interfere with the identified travel path, leading to potential obstacles during navigation.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device that identifies a first traveling path to a preset destination, detects objects interfering with this path using sensors, and adjusts its route to an avoidance path based on object location and type, stopping or changing speed as necessary to navigate around obstacles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the electronic device travels according to a pre-identified traveling path based on a map, then the traveling route is simple and efficient, but objects interfering with traveling are not considered leading to potential collisions
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device performs preliminary identification of interfering objects along the traveling path before executing the path. The processor identifies objects that may interfere with traveling based on map data and current location, then determines whether to adjust the path in advance, rather than reacting after collision detection
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors the traveling environment by comparing the identified traveling path with real-time object detection data. When interfering objects are detected within a threshold distance, the system provides feedback to adjust the traveling path, creating a closed-loop control system that balances efficiency and safety
2Reliability
If the electronic device continuously monitors for interfering objects using sensors, then traveling safety is improved, but energy consumption and processing load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The processor focuses sensor monitoring and object identification efforts on specific local areas along the traveling path where interfering objects are most likely to be encountered, rather than uniformly scanning all directions. This concentrates computational and sensor resources on critical zones
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts monitoring parameters such as sensor activation thresholds and detection ranges based on the identified traveling path and environmental context. When the path is clear or in low-risk areas, monitoring intensity is reduced to save energy; when risk is detected, monitoring parameters are increased
