Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If augmented reality navigation systems are used in environments without precise maps or positioning, then the system can operate in more locations, but the display position accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary calculation process that uses the number of lanes and driving direction as intermediate parameters to bridge the gap between general map data and precise display positioning. By calculating the host vehicle's driving direction and determining lane information, the system can accurately position display objects even without precise map data, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and measurement precision.
2Measurement precision
If the number of lanes and driving direction information are used to determine display object positions, then display position accuracy is improved, but the computational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the positioning problem into distinct modules: obtaining driving direction information, determining lane information based on the number of lanes, calculating display object positions for each lane, and rendering. This segmentation allows the system to handle complex computations in a structured manner, improving display position accuracy while managing computational complexity through modular processing.
3Loss of information
If augmented reality displays provide detailed vehicle information, then information diversity is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to information overload
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different types of information (fuel efficiency, battery charge, motor temperature) at specific display locations corresponding to their relevant contexts. For example, fuel efficiency information is displayed in relation to lane information, battery charge near the vehicle icon, and motor temperature in the augmented reality overlay. This localized information presentation improves information diversity while maintaining ease of operation by preventing information overload through contextual organization.
