Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional V2X technologies fail to provide effective safety services to vehicles and pedestrians without a V2X device, as they cannot communicate or detect non-V2X entities effectively.

Innovation Solution

A method using an image output device on a V2X vehicle to detect objects and transmit safety messages, including visual alerts for braking and collision prevention, to both V2X and non-V2X vehicles and pedestrians through a wireless communication system.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional V2X communication methods are used, then safety services can be provided between V2X-equipped vehicles and devices, but safety services cannot be provided to vehicles or pedestrians without V2X devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with non-V2X vehiclesVSAvoidsafety service coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an image output device as an intermediary that translates V2X detection data into visual signals that non-V2X vehicles and pedestrians can perceive. The image output device displays visual representations of detected objects (vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists) and their states (moving, stationary, collision risk), serving as a mediator between the V2X communication system and non-V2X road users. This allows the host vehicle to provide safety information to entities that cannot receive or transmit V2X messages directly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If visual warnings are provided to all road users including non-V2X vehicles, then safety service coverage is improved, but the device complexity increases due to the image output device

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety service coverageVSAvoidimage output device integration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The image output device serves multiple functions: it displays visual warnings to non-V2X vehicles, provides feedback to the driver about detected objects, and can show navigation or safety information. By making this single device multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for separate dedicated display systems for different purposes, thereby mitigating the increase in device complexity while maintaining comprehensive safety coverage.

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

AI summary

Provided is a method for providing a safety service in a wireless communication system via a host vehicle. The method may include: detecting an object outside the host vehicle through an object detection device; transmitting a first message providing notification of the detection of the object through a transmitter and a receiver; and outputting an image, for providing the object with the safety service, through an image output device to a prescribed area outside the host vehicle.
