Solution Overview

Problem

Current vehicle diagnosis data analysis systems overwhelm personnel with complex data, leading to 'best guess' decisions based on intuition rather than valid indications of vehicle component status, and lack efficient data collection and storage solutions.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that correlate vehicle diagnosis data from multiple components using machine learning and data mining to form a comprehensive indication of vehicle component status, incorporating sensor data from various sources, including CAN bus information and analogue signals, and determining the validity of the indication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If vehicle diagnosis data from multiple components is collected and analyzed, then diagnostic precision is improved, but data complexity increases making it difficult for personnel to comprehend

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic precisionVSAvoiddata complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an automated analysis system that acts as an intermediary between raw vehicle diagnosis data and human operators. This system correlates data from multiple vehicle components automatically, generating comprehensive status indications without requiring personnel to directly comprehend the complex multi-component data relationships.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual data analysis (mechanical human cognition process) with automated computational analysis. The system uses computer-based algorithms to correlate diagnosis data from multiple components, substituting the mechanical process of human comprehension with an automated information processing system that can handle complex data relationships efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If comprehensive vehicle diagnosis data is collected from multiple components, then status indication accuracy is improved, but data collection and processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestatus indication accuracyVSAvoiddata collection and processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary data collection from multiple vehicle components simultaneously, preparing comprehensive diagnosis data in advance. By collecting and pre-processing data from multiple sources before analysis is needed, the system reduces the time required when actual diagnostic status indication is required, while maintaining high accuracy through comprehensive data coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
