Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If vehicle camera data is used for vehicle identification and transmission, then driving safety and traffic management are improved, but data security and privacy protection become more difficult to ensure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving safetyVSAvoiddata security risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary vehicle identification information (such as license plate numbers) from the captured image data, rather than transmitting the entire image. This separation allows safety monitoring while reducing privacy exposure and security risks associated with transmitting complete visual data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a simplified representation (copy) of the vehicle identification data rather than transmitting the original image data. This copy contains sufficient information for traffic management and safety purposes while being less sensitive and easier to secure than the original visual data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Productivity

If real-time vehicle identification data is transmitted to traffic control systems, then traffic management efficiency is improved, but communication bandwidth and data transmission load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraffic management efficiencyVSAvoiddata transmission volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential identification features from vehicle images, converting complex visual data into compact text or code representations. This dramatically reduces the data volume that needs to be transmitted while maintaining the utility for traffic management purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the data from high-dimensional image data to low-dimensional identification parameters (such as license plate numbers). This parameter transformation reduces data transmission requirements while preserving the key information needed for real-time traffic control and management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
