Solution Overview

Problem

Many vehicle drivers are not familiar with the complex functions of their vehicles, leading to frequent calls to call centers for assistance with even simple issues, which burdens the call centers and can result in potential traffic accidents due to lack of knowledge.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that acquires information about the vehicle and driver, determines potential knowledge demands, and pushes relevant content to a mobile terminal, including information on vehicle maintenance, safety, and driving tips, to assist drivers in learning and preventing issues.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If drivers are provided with electronic guidelines, then driver knowledge about vehicle functions is improved, but drivers do not have time or interest to read and learn, so the knowledge is not effectively acquired

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriver knowledge acquisitionVSAvoiddriver time for learning
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of driver behavior patterns, vehicle status, and potential issues before problems occur. By proactively identifying what knowledge the driver will need and delivering it in advance through push notifications, the system eliminates the need for drivers to allocate dedicated learning time, as knowledge is provided exactly when needed based on real-time context

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables drivers to automatically receive relevant knowledge content without active engagement. By analyzing vehicle data and driver behavior autonomously, the system curates and delivers personalized content, allowing drivers to passively absorb information during normal driving activities rather than requiring active study sessions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If drivers call call centers for assistance, then driver problems are solved, but the burden on call centers becomes heavy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproblem resolutionVSAvoidcall center capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system empowers drivers to independently resolve issues by automatically delivering relevant troubleshooting knowledge and operational guidance based on detected vehicle anomalies or driver behavior patterns. This self-service capability eliminates the need for call center intervention in routine matters, freeing up call center resources for complex issues that truly require human expertise

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors vehicle status and driver interactions with pushed content, using this feedback to refine future recommendations and assess whether additional call center support is needed. This closed-loop approach ensures that only cases requiring human intervention are escalated, optimizing call center workload distribution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If drivers lack knowledge about vehicle functions, then simple problems occur, but this can result in potential traffic accidents

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving safetyVSAvoiddriver knowledge
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system proactively identifies knowledge gaps that could lead to safety issues by analyzing vehicle status, environmental conditions, and driver behavior patterns. Relevant safety-critical information is delivered in advance before problems manifest, ensuring drivers have the necessary knowledge to prevent accidents rather than reacting after issues occur

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system prevents potential safety hazards by delivering knowledge content that addresses likely problems before they occur. By anticipating issues based on vehicle data and environmental factors, the system provides preventive guidance that counteracts potential unsafe behaviors or misunderstandings before they can lead to accidents

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action
