Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If vehicle identification information is transmitted via V2X communication, then driving assistance and traffic management are improved, but data security and communication reliability face challenges

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedriving assistance efficiencyVSAvoiddata security

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary authentication mechanism where the V2X communication system uses certificate-based authentication and encryption protocols to secure the transmission of vehicle identification information. This intermediary security layer protects the data while enabling efficient communication for driving assistance and traffic management purposes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If camera sensors capture and process images continuously, then vehicle identification information is obtained accurately, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevehicle identification accuracyVSAvoidcamera sensor energy consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic image capture and processing cycles rather than continuous operation. The camera sensor captures images at predetermined intervals or when specific triggering conditions are met, allowing the system to maintain accurate vehicle identification capability while significantly reducing energy consumption during normal operation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary image processing and analysis to determine whether captured images contain relevant vehicle identification information before initiating full processing and transmission. This preliminary screening action reduces unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining identification accuracy when needed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
