Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional electronic control means are used for vehicle devices, then the control system is simple and reliable, but intelligent control and networked management capabilities are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a management apparatus as an intermediary component that bridges traditional vehicle devices and the cloud platform. This apparatus includes a communication module for data transmission, a controller for processing control instructions, and an action-executing unit for implementing actions. The management apparatus serves as a mediator that enables intelligent control and networked management without fundamentally redesigning the entire control system, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The management apparatus is designed with multi-functionality to serve multiple purposes: it monitors device state, transmits data to the cloud, receives control instructions, executes actions, and provides fault diagnosis and maintenance functions. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single apparatus, the patent enhances intelligent control capability while avoiding the complexity of multiple separate systems.
2Ease of operation
If traditional electronic control means are used, then the device structure is simple, but remote management and after-sales services are not enabled
Solution Approach 1:
The management apparatus acts as an intermediary between the vehicle device and remote users/service providers. It includes communication modules that enable data exchange over networks, allowing remote state monitoring, fault diagnosis, and maintenance activities without requiring complex modifications to the original device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The management apparatus enables the vehicle device to perform self-diagnosis and self-maintenance by automatically monitoring its own state, detecting faults, and executing maintenance actions without requiring manual intervention. This self-service capability enhances ease of operation while keeping the added complexity minimal through automated functions.
3Extent of automation
If state monitoring and control instructions are implemented, then intelligent control is achieved, but information transmission and processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information processing functions into distinct components: the state determining unit for monitoring, the communication module for data transmission, the controller for processing control instructions, and the action-executing unit for automation. This segmentation allows each component to handle specific tasks independently, reducing the overall processing complexity while maintaining high automation levels.
Solution Approach 2:
The management apparatus implements a feedback mechanism where the current state of the vehicle device is continuously monitored and transmitted to the cloud platform, which then generates control instructions based on this state information. This closed-loop feedback system enables intelligent control and automation while managing information processing complexity through structured data flow and processing stages.
