Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If pedestrian recognition is performed using image data from vehicles and roadside infrastructure, then pedestrian safety information can be provided, but system complexity increases due to the need for multiple data sources and processing servers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepedestrian safety information accuracyVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into separate functional modules: a navigation server that handles route planning and a separate analysis server that performs pedestrian recognition and safety analysis. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall reliability while managing complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The analysis server acts as an intermediary between the navigation server and the final safety information output. It receives image data from vehicles and roadside infrastructure, processes this data to identify pedestrians, and provides safety assessments to the navigation server, thereby mediating the complex data processing workflow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of time

If real-time pedestrian recognition is performed using image data, then safety information can be provided timely, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety information response timeVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing image data and extracting relevant features before the actual pedestrian recognition occurs. Roadside infrastructure cameras capture and pre-process images in advance, and the analysis server prepares processing queues, so that when real-time recognition is needed, the system can respond quickly without consuming excessive computational resources at the moment of detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If traffic signal information is integrated with pedestrian recognition results, then comprehensive safety guidance can be provided, but information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety information completenessVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The analysis server merges multiple data sources including image data from vehicles, roadside infrastructure cameras, and traffic signal information into a unified safety assessment. By combining these diverse data types through standardized processing protocols, the system achieves comprehensive safety guidance while managing processing complexity through integrated architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A system for providing safety information includes an analysis server that receives image data and traffic signal information from an external device, recognizes a pedestrian from the image data, and analyzes pedestrian safety associated with the recognition of the pedestrian in view of the traffic signal information, and a navigation server that generates and transmits pedestrian safety information to a vehicle terminal based on the analysis of the pedestrian safety, which is output from the analysis server.
