Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the user controls the unmanned aerial vehicle through the vehicle cabin without additional feedback mechanisms, then the control operation is simple, but the user cannot intuitively perceive the state of the unmanned aerial vehicle, resulting in low control reliability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by making the vehicle's on-board devices (light emitting assembly, air outlet assembly, multimedia assembly) respond to the unmanned aerial vehicle's state. The light emitting assembly displays different light effects corresponding to different UAV states, the air outlet assembly adjusts air outlet modes, and the multimedia assembly plays sound content, creating a feedback loop that allows the user to intuitively perceive UAV status without adding complex control interfaces
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a simplified copy of the unmanned aerial vehicle's state within the vehicle cabin environment. Instead of showing complex technical parameters, the system copies the essential state information through analogous physical manifestations - light effects copying visual status, air flow copying operational intensity, and sounds copying auditory feedback - making the UAV state perceptible to the user in the cabin
2Loss of information
If the vehicle controls multiple on-board devices to reflect UAV state, then the user can intuitively understand the UAV status, but the device complexity and control system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information feedback into three distinct channels handled by separate on-board devices: visual information through the light emitting assembly, tactile/environmental information through the air outlet assembly, and auditory information through the multimedia assembly. This segmentation allows comprehensive state information to be transmitted without requiring a single complex display system
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes existing on-board devices serve multiple functions. The light emitting assembly not only provides illumination but also displays UAV state through different light effects. The air outlet assembly not only provides climate control but also indicates operational intensity through air outlet modes. The multimedia assembly not only provides entertainment but also transmits state information through sound content. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional dedicated devices

AI summary
The present invention relates to the field of vehicle technologies, and discloses a vehicle, a control method for the vehicle, and a control system of the vehicle. After obtaining a target signal, the vehicle can control an operating status of an on-board device. The target signal includes a state signal used for indicating a state of an unmanned aerial vehicle, and/or a control instruction for a target device, and the target device includes at least the unmanned aerial vehicle. Therefore, the operating status of the on-board device can reflect a state of the unmanned aerial vehicle, so that it can be ensured that a driver can intuitively learn the state of the unmanned aerial vehicle even in a cabin, so as to improve control reliability for the unmanned aerial vehicle.
