Solution Overview

Problem

Current V2X technology struggles to selectively transmit messages to specific groups of external electronic devices, making it difficult for vehicles to designate and communicate with only intended groups while in motion.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with wireless communication circuitry, sensors, and a processor generates groups based on criterion information from both internal and external device data, allowing for the selection and transmission of messages to specific groups using V2X technology.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If V2X technology transmits data to all external electronic devices within range, then communication coverage is maximized, but the ability to transmit to specific groups is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication coverage areaVSAvoidgroup selection capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments external electronic devices into distinct groups based on criterion information such as device type, user characteristics, and spatial relationships. This segmentation enables the transmitting device to selectively target specific groups rather than broadcasting to all devices, thus resolving the contradiction between broad coverage and precise group selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of message transmission by introducing group identification parameters and criterion-based filtering. Messages are transmitted with specific group identifiers, and receiving devices determine their group membership based on criterion information, enabling selective group communication while maintaining broad coverage capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If a vehicle attempts to select and designate a given group while running, then targeted communication is achieved, but the operation becomes difficult and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegroup designation easeVSAvoidgroup selection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing groups based on criterion information before message transmission occurs. The transmitting device determines group memberships in advance using sensor data and device information, so that when a message needs to be sent, the grouping is already established, simplifying the operation during vehicle movement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service by enabling receiving devices to automatically determine their own group membership based on criterion information. Each device evaluates its own characteristics and spatial relationships to identify which groups it belongs to, eliminating the need for manual group assignment and reducing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If group messages are transmitted to specific groups, then communication precision is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage delivery precisionVSAvoidgrouping system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by using a single criterion information evaluation mechanism that serves multiple functions: determining group membership, filtering received messages, and identifying transmitting devices. This multi-functional approach achieves precise message delivery without proportionally increasing system complexity, as the same criterion data structure supports multiple operations.

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