Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle communication connection technologies require separate and fixed settings for communication data and media for each application, leading to reduced flexibility and efficiency in resource usage, especially when additional communication mediums or data transfer techniques are applied.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle communication connection method and device that dynamically determines class identifiers and communication interfaces based on application characteristics and communication media states, using a predefined mapping table to adaptively select the appropriate communication medium and technique without manual correction, allowing for automatic updates and parallel processing when necessary.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If communication data and communication media are set for each application in a fixed format, then application-specific communication requirements are met, but flexibility and efficiency of using resources are degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication-specific communication requirement satisfactionVSAvoidflexibility and efficiency of using resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic communication medium selection by introducing a communication medium determination unit that automatically selects appropriate communication media based on current application states and communication medium states. This replaces the static fixed-format assignment with a dynamic adaptation mechanism, allowing the system to flexibly allocate communication resources while meeting application-specific requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of communication medium assignment from fixed to variable by determining communication media based on real-time states of applications and communication media. The communication medium determination unit evaluates multiple parameters including application priority, communication medium availability, and transmission requirements to dynamically adjust medium allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If separate correction for each application is performed when additional communication medium or data transfer technique is applied, then application compatibility is maintained, but system complexity and maintenance burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication compatibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity and maintenance burden
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal communication medium determination unit that handles multiple applications through a single centralized mechanism. This unit can determine appropriate communication media for any application based on unified state information, eliminating the need for separate correction procedures for each application when new communication media or techniques are introduced.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The communication medium determination unit automatically determines appropriate communication media based on current system states without requiring manual intervention or separate configuration for each application. The system self-adjusts to new communication media and techniques through automated state evaluation and medium selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If manual setting and correction of communication data is performed for each application, then precise control over communication behavior is achieved, but time consumption and operational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecise control over communication behaviorVSAvoidtime consumption for setting and correction
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The communication medium determination unit automatically determines appropriate communication media based on real-time states of applications and communication media, eliminating the need for manual setting and correction. The system monitors its own state and self-adjusts communication medium allocation, achieving precise control without human intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring application states and communication medium states, then using this information to automatically determine optimal communication media. This closed-loop control enables precise communication behavior adjustment based on current system conditions without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
