Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems fail to appropriately determine the stop position of a moving object, particularly in congested sidewalk regions, leading to potential interference with other objects and suboptimal user convenience.

Innovation Solution

A moving object control system that determines a stop position based on sidewalk congestion thresholds, considering static and dynamic elements, user attributes, and specific location characteristics to select an appropriate region for stopping, such as a roadway or alternate sidewalk areas, ensuring minimal interference and user convenience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the moving object stops in the sidewalk region, then user convenience is improved, but interference with other objects increases when congestion is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidinterference with other objects
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the stop position selection based on real-time sidewalk congestion levels. When congestion is low, the moving object stops on the sidewalk for user convenience. When congestion exceeds the threshold, the system dynamically switches to selecting a stop position in the roadway or other regions, thereby adapting to changing conditions and resolving the contradiction between user convenience and interference with other objects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the stop position parameter based on the congestion parameter. By monitoring the congestion level and comparing it to a threshold, the system switches between different stop position options (sidewalk vs. roadway/other regions), effectively using parameter changes to resolve the contradiction between maintaining user convenience and avoiding interference with other objects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the moving object stops in the roadway or other regions, then interference with other objects is reduced, but user convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference with other objectsVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects the stop position based on real-time sidewalk congestion conditions. Only when congestion exceeds the threshold does the system switch to roadway or other regions, thereby minimizing interference with other objects while preserving user convenience under normal conditions. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by applying the less convenient option only when necessary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the stop position parameter from sidewalk to roadway/other regions based on the congestion parameter threshold. This conditional parameter change ensures that interference with other objects is reduced only when congestion is high, while user convenience is maintained when congestion is low, thereby resolving the contradiction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If the system considers multiple elements (congestion, static elements, user attributes), then stop position accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestop position accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the decision-making process into distinct evaluation components: congestion level assessment, static element consideration, user attribute analysis, and stop position selection. By dividing the complex determination process into manageable segments, the system achieves high stop position accuracy while keeping the complexity organized and controllable through modular processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a universal decision-making framework that handles multiple types of input elements (congestion data, static elements, user attributes) through a unified process. This multi-functional approach allows the system to accurately determine stop positions by considering diverse factors without requiring separate specialized systems for each element, thereby achieving high accuracy with manageable complexity.

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

AI summary

A moving object control system includes a storage device configured to store instructions; and one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors executes the instructions stored in the storage device to determine a stop position of a moving object in a sidewalk region near a specific location in a case where a degree of congestion of a sidewalk near the specific location is less than a threshold value, and determines the stop position in a region that does not belong to the sidewalk region near the specific location in a case where the degree of congestion of the sidewalk near the specific location is equal to or more than the threshold value.
