Innovation Solution

A roadside device determines the necessity of sending differential positioning information based on environmental conditions and satellite signal quality, only transmitting it when required to improve positioning precision.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the RSU continuously sends differential positioning information to the OBU, then the terminal can perform high-precision positioning calculation, but it causes waste of energy consumption of the roadside device and the terminal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning precisionVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action by having the RSU send differential positioning information at specific intervals rather than continuously. The system determines sending moments based on time intervals and checks whether the terminal is currently performing positioning calculations, thereby reducing energy consumption while maintaining positioning precision when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies feedback mechanism where the OBU sends positioning calculation requests to the RSU, and the RSU adjusts its information sending behavior based on whether the terminal needs the data. This feedback loop ensures differential positioning information is transmitted only when the terminal actually performs positioning calculations, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If the terminal continuously performs high-precision positioning calculation, then positioning accuracy is maintained, but it extends calculation time and reduces efficiency of high-precision positioning of the system

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidcalculation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs positioning calculations periodically rather than continuously by sending positioning calculation requests at specific time intervals. The RSU sends differential positioning information only at these predetermined moments, reducing the terminal's calculation time while maintaining positioning accuracy when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal autonomously determines when it needs positioning information by monitoring its own positioning calculation requirements. It sends requests to the RSU only when it intends to perform positioning calculations, allowing the system to self-regulate information transmission timing and reduce unnecessary calculation time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If the RSU sends differential positioning information continuously, then the terminal has always available positioning data, but it reduces efficiency of high-precision positioning of the system

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning precisionVSAvoidpositioning efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system adopts periodic action by establishing predetermined time intervals for the RSU to send differential positioning information. The OBU sends positioning calculation requests at these intervals, and the RSU transmits data only at these moments, improving system efficiency while ensuring positioning precision is maintained when calculations are performed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The feedback mechanism allows the OBU to inform the RSU when it needs positioning information by sending calculation requests. The RSU responds by sending differential positioning information only at these requested moments, thereby improving overall system efficiency while maintaining positioning precision through on-demand data transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
