Vehicle-Agnostic Remote Input for Multi-Vehicle Processor Assemblies
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for autonomous vehicles require multiple remote devices to decode and handle vehicle-specific states, leading to high costs and complexity for safety drivers, as each device must process data specific to different vehicle types.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a processor assembly with first and second processors at respective vehicles to convert vehicle-specific data into vehicle-agnostic information, which is then provided to a remote device for output, allowing a single remote device to operate across different vehicle types without specific processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple remote devices are used to handle different vehicle types, then vehicle-specific state processing capability is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary component (the processor assembly or gateway in the vehicle) that converts vehicle-specific state data into a standardized format before transmission to the remote device. This intermediary handles the complexity of vehicle-specific protocols and data structures, allowing the remote device to work with uniform standardized data regardless of vehicle type, thereby resolving the contradiction between handling multiple vehicle types and maintaining simple remote device configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter format of vehicle state data from vehicle-specific representations to standardized universal representations. By transforming data parameters at the source (vehicle side) rather than at the remote device, the system enables a single remote device configuration to handle multiple vehicle types, reducing both device complexity and cost while maintaining versatility
2Measurement precision
If remote device processes vehicle-specific data, then information accuracy is improved, but processing power requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary processing and standardization of vehicle state data at the vehicle side (in the processor assembly) before transmission to the remote device. This preliminary action converts complex vehicle-specific data into standardized formats with embedded contextual information, reducing the computational burden on the remote device while preserving information accuracy, thus resolving the contradiction between information precision and processing power requirements
