Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the vehicle control system uses a simple command recognition method, then the device complexity is reduced, but the measurement precision of user requests deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition accuracy of user requestsVSAvoidcomplexity of command processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer between the user's spoken command and the application execution. This layer includes a command parser that converts speech to text, extracts key objects and intents, and formats them into a standardized structure that applications can understand. This intermediary structure acts as a mediator that bridges the gap between diverse user inputs and standardized application interfaces, improving recognition accuracy without requiring each application to handle all possible input formats directly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The command processing system is segmented into multiple independent modules: speech-to-text conversion module, intent recognition module, object extraction module, parameter parsing module, and command assembly module. Each module handles a specific aspect of command processing, allowing the system to achieve high precision through specialized processing at each stage while keeping individual modules relatively simple and manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the vehicle control system processes diverse formats of user requests, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to handle diverse user request formatsVSAvoidcomplexity of command processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal command processing framework that can handle multiple types of user requests (navigation, media control, climate control, phone calls, etc.) through a single standardized interface. The framework includes universal structures for representing intents, objects, and parameters that work across different application domains, allowing the system to achieve high adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity. Each application interacts with this universal framework using the same methods, simplifying the overall system architecture.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses parameter-based command structures where user requests are represented as structured data with defined parameters (intent type, target object, action, parameters). By changing the representation format from unstructured speech to structured parameters, the system can easily adapt to different request types by varying the parameter values and types rather than creating entirely different processing paths, thereby improving versatility without linearly increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If the vehicle control system implements comprehensive command processing, then the service quality improves, but the loss of time in processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality of service provisionVSAvoidtime for command processing
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary processing of user commands by pre-parsing speech into text, pre-identifying key objects and intents, and pre-formatting the command structure before passing it to the specific application. This preliminary action prepares the command in advance in a standardized format, reducing the processing time required by individual applications and improving overall service response time while maintaining comprehensive processing capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical command processing approaches with intelligent text and speech processing systems. Instead of relying on rigid keyword matching and predefined command structures, the system uses natural language processing, intent recognition algorithms, and semantic analysis to automatically understand and interpret user requests. This substitution of mechanical processing with intelligent processing enables comprehensive service quality while reducing processing time through more efficient pattern recognition and interpretation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
