Solution Overview

Problem

Existing remote parking systems lack the ability to provide detailed vehicle control, such as forward movement, rearward movement, deceleration, and acceleration, and fail to actively reflect the driver's intentions due to limited functionality and reliance on driver input.

Innovation Solution

A remote parking control apparatus that includes a communication device, controller, and display, allowing users to select from various remote control modes, with a soft button for controlling vehicle movement and speed, and providing feedback through voice and vibration outputs, enabling more advanced vehicle control based on surrounding environment analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If existing remote parking systems provide only simple on/off functions and control state guidance, then the system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but the ability to provide detailed vehicle control (forward movement, rearward movement, deceleration, acceleration) and reflect driver intention is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidvehicle control capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the control interface adaptive and flexible. The soft button's position is dynamically adjustable within the display area, allowing users to customize control parameters such as movement speed and distance based on their preferences and specific parking situations. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the system to provide detailed vehicle control (forward movement, rearward movement, deceleration, acceleration) while maintaining ease of operation through intuitive touch interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If remote parking control allows detailed vehicle control through soft button manipulation, then vehicle control capability is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional control parameters and feedback mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle control capabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical control systems with a software-based touch interface. Instead of physical buttons, knobs, or levers that would increase device complexity, the system uses a soft button displayed on a screen that responds to touch gestures. The controller interprets touch position, duration, and intensity to generate appropriate vehicle control commands, thereby achieving detailed vehicle control capability while minimizing hardware complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The soft button serves multiple functions within a single interface element. By adjusting the soft button's position and the controller's interpretation of touch inputs, the system can control forward movement, rearward movement, deceleration, and acceleration. This multi-functionality approach allows detailed vehicle control without requiring separate physical controls for each function, thus reducing overall device complexity.

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

3Ease of manufacture

If the soft button position is fixed, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but the adaptability to different user preferences and control needs is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidcontrol customization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by making the soft button position changeable rather than fixed. The controller allows users to adjust the soft button's position within the display area according to their preferences and specific parking situations. This dynamic repositioning capability provides control customization and adaptability without significantly complicating the manufacturing process, as it primarily involves software configuration rather than complex hardware modifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
