Solution Overview

Problem

Current safe driving assistance systems fail to accurately reflect driving situations due to reliance on single information sources, leading to insufficient traffic accident reduction and user inconvenience, with a lack of integrated data analysis platforms for personalized and accurate autonomous driving information.

Innovation Solution

A personalized safe driving assistance system that collects and analyzes multiple risk factors across vehicles, models a standard safety area in an N-dimensional space, determines a defensive driving level for each driver, and adjusts warning criteria based on individual driving habits, using a combination of camera, OBD, inter-vehicle distance sensors, and lane departure detection systems to provide tailored safety information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a single information source is used for safe driving assistance, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but the accuracy of driving situation reflection is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem simplicityVSAvoiddriving situation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple information sources including image processing data, vehicle sensor data, and navigation data into a unified safe driving assistance system. This integration allows the system to comprehensively reflect the driving situation by merging visual, auditory, and vehicle state information, thereby improving measurement precision while maintaining system operability through centralized data fusion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs multi-functional sensors and processing units that can handle multiple types of data simultaneously. The image processing unit, vehicle information acquisition unit, and navigation information acquisition unit work together to serve multiple functions: detecting driving situations, analyzing vehicle states, and providing contextual information, thus improving accuracy without significantly increasing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If warning is generated for each risk factor individually, then comprehensive safety coverage is achieved, but user convenience deteriorates due to excessive warnings

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety coverageVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple risk factor assessments into a unified risk evaluation mechanism. Instead of generating separate warnings for each risk factor, the system integrates image processing results, vehicle information, and navigation data to produce a comprehensive risk assessment. This unified approach maintains comprehensive safety coverage while reducing the number of individual warnings, thereby improving user convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different warning strategies to different risk levels and situations. By analyzing the combined information from multiple sources, the system can identify which specific risk factors require attention and generate targeted warnings only for significant risks, rather than alerting for every minor deviation. This localized warning approach maintains reliability while enhancing user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Device complexity

If standardized warning criteria are applied to all drivers, then system complexity is low, but personalized safety assistance is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidpersonalization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of driver behavior patterns by continuously collecting and analyzing data from image processing, vehicle sensors, and navigation systems. This preliminary action establishes a baseline understanding of each driver's habits and risk factors, enabling the system to later provide personalized warnings and assistance without requiring complex real-time adjustments, thus balancing personalization capability with system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The warning criteria in the system are dynamic and adapt based on accumulated driving data and identified risk factors. The system continuously learns from each driver's behavior patterns and adjusts warning thresholds and types accordingly. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to provide personalized safety assistance while maintaining relatively simple underlying structures, as the personalization emerges from data-driven adjustments rather than complex predefined rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
