Solution Overview

Problem

Automotive navigation systems face challenges in accurately monitoring vehicle movement and conserving processing resources due to fixed data transmission rates, which do not adapt to changing scenarios or conditions.

Innovation Solution

A server device dynamically adjusts the data transmission rate of a vehicle's navigation system based on various factors, including driver experience, location, and weather conditions, using machine learning and artificial intelligence to optimize data delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the vehicle provides data at a fixed rate, then the monitoring system can maintain consistent data flow, but the processing resources are consumed unnecessarily when high data rates are not needed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring accuracyVSAvoidprocessing resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of data transmission rate based on real-time monitoring of vehicle conditions, geographic location, and environmental factors. The system transitions from a fixed data rate to a variable data rate that adapts to changing scenarios, allowing the vehicle to provide more data when conditions warrant enhanced monitoring and less data when standard monitoring suffices, thereby optimizing processing resource consumption while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of data transmission rate dynamically based on multiple input factors including driver behavior, vehicle location, weather conditions, and time of day. By adjusting this key parameter in response to varying conditions, the system achieves both improved monitoring accuracy when needed and reduced processing resource usage when conditions are normal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If the vehicle increases data transmission rate to improve monitoring accuracy, then more detailed vehicle information is available, but processing resources are consumed at a higher rate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle monitoring accuracyVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the data transmission rate based on real-time assessment of monitoring needs. When specific conditions are detected (such as unusual driver behavior, adverse weather, or high-risk geographic areas), the system increases the data transmission rate to improve measurement precision. During normal conditions, it reduces the rate to maintain processing efficiency, thus achieving both goals adaptively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter changes by adjusting the data transmission rate as a variable parameter rather than keeping it constant. This allows the system to optimize the balance between measurement precision and processing efficiency by changing the data rate parameter in response to varying operational contexts and risk levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If the vehicle lacks dynamic adjustment capability for data transmission rate, then the system structure remains simple, but the system cannot adapt to different monitoring scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescenario adaptabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic adjustment capability that allows the vehicle system to adapt to different monitoring scenarios by changing data transmission rates based on real-time conditions. This dynamic feature enhances scenario adaptability while managing system complexity through automated decision-making algorithms that process multiple input factors to determine appropriate data rates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service by autonomously adjusting its own data transmission rate based on monitoring of its operational context. The vehicle system independently evaluates conditions such as driver behavior, location, and environmental factors, then automatically modifies its data transmission characteristics without requiring manual intervention, thereby achieving adaptability with controlled complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
