Solution Overview

Problem

Existing V2X technologies primarily focus on vehicle safety and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, lacking the ability to effectively provide services to diverse users including pedestrians and other electronic devices, and struggle with timely delivery of messages due to limited subscription area configurations.

Innovation Solution

A V2X server system that manages subscription areas for V2X devices, determines potential impacts based on driving information, and sends reconfiguration messages to adjust subscription areas to ensure timely message delivery and risk awareness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the subscription area is configured to cover a large area to monitor diverse users including pedestrians and electronic devices, then the service coverage and user diversity are improved, but the message delivery timeliness deteriorates due to increased processing load and communication overhead

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice coverageVSAvoidmessage delivery timeliness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The subscription area is divided into multiple sub-areas, each managed independently with its own message delivery mechanism. This segmentation allows the system to handle diverse users across different geographic regions simultaneously, improving both service coverage and message delivery timeliness by localizing processing operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces a hierarchical dimension to subscription area management, organizing areas at multiple levels (regional, local, micro). This dimensional structure enables efficient message routing and delivery by allowing messages to be processed at the most appropriate level, thereby maintaining timeliness while expanding overall service coverage.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If the subscription area is configured to cover a large area to provide V2X services to diverse users, then the service effectiveness is improved, but the device complexity increases due to enhanced processing and management requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice effectivenessVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the subscription area management into modular components, with each sub-area handled by dedicated processing units. This modular approach improves service effectiveness across diverse user types while controlling device complexity by distributing processing tasks rather than concentrating them in a single complex system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The V2X server is designed with universal processing capabilities that can handle multiple types of users (vehicles, pedestrians, electronic devices) through a unified framework. This multi-functional design improves service effectiveness across diverse applications while avoiding the need for separate specialized systems, thereby controlling overall device complexity.

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

3Ease of operation

If the subscription area configuration is made static to simplify system operation, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability deteriorates because the system cannot adapt to dynamic V2X environments and moving users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration simplicityVSAvoidmessage delivery reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The subscription area configuration is made dynamic, allowing automatic adjustment of area boundaries and parameters based on real-time user positions and service requirements. This dynamic capability ensures reliable message delivery in evolving V2X environments while maintaining ease of operation through automated adaptation rather than manual reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service functionality where the V2X server automatically monitors user positions, detects changes in service requirements, and adjusts subscription area configurations without manual intervention. This self-adjusting mechanism maintains high reliability in dynamic environments while preserving operational simplicity for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A server for a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) service receives a message for configuring a subscription area from a first V2X device, and receives a V2X message from a second V2X device. The V2X message includes a V2X ID for identifying the second V2X device, and driving information of the second V2X device. When it is determined that the second V2X device is not associated with the subscription area and the second V2X device affects the first V2X device on the basis of the V2X message, the server transmits a reconfiguration message for requesting reconfiguration of the subscription area to the first V2X device.
