Solution Overview

Problem

The increasing amount of information obtained through Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication systems is not effectively processed, leading to disconnection from the driver's decision-making process due to lack of correlation and priority in information processing and display methods.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that merge driving decision-making homogeneous events into composite events, utilizing a rule engine to identify and process event correlations, and display them in a manner that supports driver decision-making, enhancing information reception efficiency and resolving event conflicts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If more information is obtained through V2X communication, then the comprehensiveness of traffic information is improved, but the processing complexity and decision-making burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensiveness of traffic informationVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex information processing task into multiple hierarchical levels: event detection, event correlation, composite event generation, and decision-making. This segmentation allows the system to handle comprehensive V2X information by breaking it down into manageable components at each processing stage, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining information completeness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an event correlation module as an intermediary between raw V2X information and decision-making systems. This intermediary component processes and correlates multiple events, generating composite events that bridge the gap between comprehensive information acquisition and simplified decision-making, thereby reducing processing complexity while preserving information value

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If multiple events are processed separately, then the processing logic is simple, but the decision-making efficiency decreases due to lack of event correlation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing logic complexityVSAvoiddecision-making efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple related events into composite events through an event correlation mechanism. By combining individual events that share common characteristics or relationships into unified composite events, the system improves decision-making efficiency without requiring overly complex processing logic, as the merging operation follows standardized correlation rules

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Loss of information

If all events are displayed to the driver, then the information completeness is improved, but the driver's cognitive burden increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddriver's cognitive burden
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple individual events into composite events for display purposes. This merging approach maintains information completeness by preserving all relevant event data within the composite structure, while simultaneously reducing cognitive burden by presenting unified, organized composite events rather than scattered individual events to the driver interface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent organizes events into a hierarchical dimension with individual events at the lower level and composite events at the upper level. This dimensional organization allows complete information to be maintained in the lower level while the upper level provides a simplified, consolidated view for the driver, effectively reducing cognitive burden without losing information completeness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
