Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the vehicle operates at high speed or maintains large distance from external devices, then communication reliability deteriorates, but vehicle mobility and operational flexibility are improved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidvehicle speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the set communication reliability based on current vehicle operating conditions (speed, distance). When vehicle speed increases or distance from external devices grows, the system automatically lowers the required communication reliability threshold, allowing content execution to continue under varying communication conditions without interruption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of communication reliability requirements based on vehicle state. By adjusting the set communication reliability parameter according to speed and distance conditions, the system enables content to be executed with appropriate reliability thresholds matched to current operational context

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If the vehicle maintains constant speed and distance to ensure communication reliability, then communication stability is improved, but vehicle productivity and response time deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication stabilityVSAvoidvehicle productivity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adapts communication reliability requirements to vehicle operating conditions rather than maintaining fixed standards. This allows the vehicle to maintain productivity and respond promptly to user requests while the system adjusts reliability expectations to match current communication capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary assessment of communication conditions (speed, distance, external device status) before determining executable content. By pre-evaluating communication reliability and matching it with content requirements, the system avoids delays while maintaining appropriate communication standards

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If the system restricts content execution to maintain high communication reliability, then communication quality is improved, but user interface functionality and content availability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication qualityVSAvoidcontent availability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes communication reliability parameters based on vehicle state and content type. By adjusting the set communication reliability threshold according to current conditions, the system expands content availability while maintaining appropriate quality standards for each execution context

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system executes content with partial reliability requirements matched to actual communication conditions. Rather than demanding full reliability for all content, the system allows execution of content with reliability levels appropriate to current vehicle speed, distance, and communication environment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
