1Adaptability or versatility
If simulation platforms like CARLA are used to extract synthetic data, then diverse simulation environments and data types are available, but the configuration of variables becomes complex and lacks straightforward methods
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer between the user and the simulation platform that simplifies variable configuration. This intermediary automatically generates and manages configuration files based on user-friendly inputs, translating high-level user requirements into detailed simulation parameters without requiring users to manually configure complex variables
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service through automated configuration file generation and management. The simulation platform automatically handles variable configuration, data generation, and processing workflows without requiring manual intervention or deep technical knowledge of the underlying simulation parameters
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual configuration methods are used for simulation variables, then flexibility in customization is achieved, but data acquisition efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-generating configuration files and setting up simulation parameters before actual data acquisition begins. Configuration templates and default settings are prepared in advance, allowing users to quickly customize scenarios without manually configuring each parameter from scratch during data acquisition
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by allowing users to modify high-level simulation parameters through simplified interfaces. The system automatically translates these parameter changes into detailed configuration adjustments, maintaining configuration flexibility while significantly improving data acquisition efficiency through automated parameter management
3Measurement precision
If complex simulation configurations are required, then precise control over simulation parameters is achieved, but the need for scripting and open-source support increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex configuration process into distinct, manageable modules. Each module handles specific aspects of simulation configuration independently, allowing precise control over parameters while reducing overall system complexity through modular architecture and specialized configuration handlers
