Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a digital twin system is implemented for passenger vehicles, then vehicle state monitoring and simulation capabilities are improved, but the interface remains primitive and lacks customization options

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle state monitoring capabilityVSAvoidinterface usability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The interface dynamically adapts its configuration based on user profiles and preferences. The system allows users to customize which vehicle states are displayed and how they are presented, transforming the static primitive interface into a dynamic, user-adaptive interface that improves usability while maintaining monitoring capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The interface configuration parameters are changed based on user profiles. Different users can have different interface configurations showing different sets of vehicle states, different visualization styles, and different levels of detail, thereby improving ease of operation without sacrificing the reliability of vehicle state monitoring

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the digital twin interface is customized based on user profiles, then user experience is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface customization capabilityVSAvoidsystem configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically configures the interface based on user profiles without requiring manual setup. The digital twin system self-adjusts the interface configuration according to stored user preferences and characteristics, providing adaptability while avoiding the complexity of manual configuration management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

A single interface framework serves multiple user profiles with different customization needs. The system uses a universal interface structure that can be configured for different users through parameters and settings, achieving versatility without proportionally increasing system complexity

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

3Measurement precision

If neural networks are used to detect driver satisfaction, then driver state monitoring is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriver satisfaction detection accuracyVSAvoidcomputational energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The neural network processes only the most relevant sensor data for detecting driver satisfaction rather than analyzing all available vehicle data. This partial processing approach maintains measurement precision for the specific function of satisfaction detection while reducing overall energy consumption compared to comprehensive data analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

4Loss of information

If real-time vehicle state data is provided to users, then situational awareness is improved, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesituational awarenessVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface presents different levels of information detail to different users based on their profiles and needs. Each user receives customized information about vehicle states that is relevant to their specific context, providing adequate situational awareness without uniformly processing and displaying all possible data for all users, thereby reducing overall processing requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
