Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple V2X applications are implemented without evaluation and ranking, then the system can support more applications, but the system performance and effectiveness deteriorate due to lack of optimization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of V2X applicationsVSAvoidsystem effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by evaluating and ranking V2X applications before implementation. The system assesses market penetration rates, performance parameters, and compatibility metrics in advance, then selects and prioritizes applications for deployment. This pre-evaluation ensures that only high-value applications are implemented first, optimizing system effectiveness while managing the number of applications systematically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If V2X applications are selected without systematic evaluation, then implementation is faster and easier, but application performance and market relevance worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation speedVSAvoidapplication performance assessment
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies self-service by automatically evaluating and ranking V2X applications based on predefined criteria including market penetration rate, performance parameters, and compatibility metrics. The processor autonomously analyzes application data, calculates effectiveness scores, and generates implementation priorities without requiring manual assessment for each application, thus maintaining fast implementation while ensuring precise performance evaluation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If all V2X applications are implemented simultaneously, then comprehensive functionality is achieved, but system complexity and resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional comprehensivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing V2X applications into prioritized groups based on evaluation results. Applications are ranked and implemented in stages, with high-priority applications deployed first and lower-priority applications implemented subsequently. This segmented approach allows comprehensive functionality to be achieved progressively while managing system complexity at each implementation stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Some embodiments are directed to a computer system for enabling an implementer to select software for deployment to a vehicle control system. According to one aspect, a computer system of a vehicle includes a vehicle control system that is configured for operation with the vehicle. The computer system also includes a processor. The processor is configured to identify a set of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) applications for the computer system. Each of the V2X applications of the set of V2X applications is then evaluated based on market penetration rate influence on parameters that affect performance of each of the V2X applications. The processor is further configured to rank each of the V2X applications of the set of applications based on the evaluation. The computer system also includes an implementer configured to select a V2X application from the set of V2X applications based on the ranking to implement using the vehicle control system.
