Solution Overview

Problem

Existing server systems require high processing capability in each vehicle to recognize scenes, leading to increased data transmission to servers, which can overwhelm the network and processing loads.

Innovation Solution

A server system with a first server that receives information from vehicles, on-road facilities, and roadside devices, and determines whether to transmit this information to a second server, reducing unnecessary data transmission and processing loads.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If scene recognition is performed in each vehicle using high processing capability devices, then scene information can be accurately recognized and filtered, but the device complexity and processing load in each vehicle increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescene recognition accuracyVSAvoidinformation processing device complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediate server that receives raw sensor information from vehicles, performs scene recognition, and transmits only relevant scene information to the destination server. This intermediary approach transfers the processing burden from individual vehicles to a centralized server, maintaining recognition accuracy while reducing in-vehicle device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the necessary scene information from raw sensor data after recognition, and transmits only this extracted relevant information to the destination server. This extraction principle reduces the amount of data transmitted and processed, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining the essential recognition functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Quantity of substance

If all sensor information is transmitted to the server, then complete data is available for processing, but the data transmission amount and network load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidnetwork load
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The server extracts only the relevant scene information from the complete sensor data after performing scene recognition. This extraction ensures that data completeness is maintained during the recognition process, while only the essential extracted information is transmitted, thereby reducing network load and energy consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The server performs scene recognition and filtering of sensor information before transmission to the destination server. This preliminary action ensures that only relevant information is transmitted, reducing network load while maintaining the completeness of necessary data for the intended application

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If scene information is retained and stored in each vehicle, then local access to scene data is enabled, but the storage capacity requirement and energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocal data accessVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and transmits only the relevant scene information that needs to be retained, rather than storing all sensor data in each vehicle. This extraction approach enables local access to necessary scene data while significantly reducing storage capacity requirements and associated energy consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A reception means receives information from at least one of a mobile body, a roadside device, and an on-road facility. A determination means determines whether or not to transmit the received information to a second server on the basis of the received information. A transmission means transmits the information to the second server when it is determined to transmit the information to the second server.
