Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If communication resources are distributed equally across multiple vehicle connections, then device complexity is reduced, but remote control reliability and responsiveness deteriorate for high-priority vehicles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different connection parameters (temporal lengths of connection intervals) to different communication connections based on their significance values. High-significance connections receive shorter intervals (more frequent communication), while low-significance connections receive longer intervals, creating localized optimization for each connection rather than uniform treatment across all connections.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making connection parameters adaptive rather than static. The system dynamically adjusts the temporal length of connection intervals based on significance values, allowing the communication resource allocation to change in response to varying priorities of different vehicle connections. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by enabling reliability optimization without requiring complex manual configuration.
2Loss of time
If connection intervals are shortened for all vehicles to improve responsiveness, then remote control latency is reduced, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by tailoring connection interval lengths to the specific significance of each vehicle connection. Instead of using a uniform short interval for all vehicles (which would waste energy), the system locally optimizes each connection by assigning shorter intervals only to high-significance vehicles that require low latency, while using longer intervals for low-significance vehicles where latency is less critical.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by varying the temporal length of connection intervals based on significance values. This parameter adjustment allows the system to optimize the balance between latency and energy consumption by changing the connection interval parameter dynamically according to the priority and communication needs of each individual vehicle connection.
3Ease of operation
If connection parameters are uniformly configured for all vehicles, then ease of operation is improved, but remote control efficiency deteriorates for high-priority communications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the system to automatically determine and configure appropriate connection parameters based on significance values without requiring manual intervention. The automatic parameter determination based on significance values provides self-service optimization, resolving the contradiction by eliminating the need for complex manual configuration while achieving high efficiency for priority communications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by automatically adjusting connection parameters according to significance values. This automatic parameter adaptation allows the system to achieve both ease of operation (through automation) and high productivity (through optimized parameters for high-priority connections), resolving the contradiction between uniform configuration simplicity and differentiated performance.

AI summary
Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for determining at least one connection parameter of a multiplicity of different communication connections between an electronic device and a corresponding multiplicity of different vehicles. A multiplicity of significance values is determined for a significance of the corresponding multiplicity of different communication connections. The connection parameters of the multiplicity of different communication connections are defined based on the corresponding multiplicity of significance values. A significance message sent by a vehicle is received via a communication connection between the portable electronic device and the vehicle. The significance value is determined for the significance of the communication connection between the portable electronic device and the vehicle based on the significance message.
