Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for vehicles lack an efficient method to integrate and display data from both detachable and affixed devices in a manner that enhances safety and operational efficiency, particularly in real-time transportation scenarios.

Innovation Solution

A system that displays data from detachable and affixed devices on a transport display, with the affixed device data overlaid proximate to the detachable device data, utilizing blockchain technology for secure and decentralized data management, enabling real-time monitoring and authorization of vehicle services.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If data from detachable and affixed devices are displayed separately on the transport display, then data clarity is maintained, but operational efficiency and safety monitoring are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational efficiencyVSAvoiddata integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges data from detachable devices (e.g., mobile phones, tablets) and affixed devices (e.g., vehicle sensors, diagnostic tools) into a single unified display interface. This integration allows operators to view all relevant data simultaneously without switching between multiple devices or screens, thereby improving operational efficiency while managing complexity through standardized data presentation protocols

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If real-time data from multiple devices is integrated and displayed, then vehicle safety and operational efficiency are enhanced, but data security and privacy protection become more challenging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle safetyVSAvoiddata security risks
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a secure data intermediary layer that mediates between multiple data sources and the display system. This intermediary implements authentication, authorization, and encryption protocols to protect sensitive vehicle and personal data while enabling real-time integration and display of safety-critical information from detachable and affixed devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If data from detachable devices is displayed on the transport display, then data accessibility is improved, but data reliability and authenticity may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accessibilityVSAvoiddata accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where data from detachable devices is cross-validated against data from affixed vehicle devices. The system provides feedback on data consistency and authenticity, allowing operators to identify and prioritize reliable data sources while maintaining ease of access to multiple data streams through a unified interface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
