Solution Overview

Problem

Current vehicle-mounted display systems distract drivers by requiring them to switch attention between multiple screens to obtain key information, compromising safety.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle-mounted display system that integrates key information from multiple display modules onto a single display module using wireless communication, allowing the driver to focus on primary information without frequent screen switching.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If multiple display modules are used to display various information, then the quantity of displayed information increases, but the driver's attention is distracted due to needing to switch between screens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of display informationVSAvoiddriver's attention focus
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges display content from multiple display modules onto a single display module. The first display module receives target display information from a second display module and presents both its own preset information and the received target information on the same screen, eliminating the need for the driver to switch between multiple screens while maintaining access to all critical information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The first display module is designed to perform multiple functions: it displays its own preset display information while simultaneously displaying target display information received from the second display module. This multi-functionality allows a single display module to serve the purpose of multiple screens, reducing driver distraction while preserving information availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If display information is limited on a single screen, then the driver's attention is not distracted, but the driver cannot obtain key display information in time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriver's attention focusVSAvoidkey display information availability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple information streams on a single display module screen. The first display module simultaneously presents its own preset information and the target display information from the second display module, ensuring that key information is immediately available to the driver without requiring screen switching or information limitation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple display modules are used in the cockpit, then the display functionality is enhanced, but the driver's sight must divert back and forth between screens affecting safety

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay functionalityVSAvoiddriving safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the critical display functions of multiple modules into a single consolidated display on the first display module. This maintains the enhanced display functionality by preserving all information sources while eliminating the safety risk of screen switching by presenting all necessary information on one screen that the driver can monitor continuously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The first display module acts as an intermediary that consolidates and presents information from multiple sources. Instead of the driver directly interacting with multiple separate display modules, the first display module mediates by integrating all critical information into a single unified display, thereby protecting driving safety while maintaining comprehensive display functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A vehicle-mounted display system is provided. The vehicle-mounted display system includes a first display module configured to display first preset display information and a second display module configured to display second preset display information in a first display state. Wherein, when the first preset display information includes first target display information, the second display module is further configured to communicatively connect to the first display module to receive the first target display information, and configured to simultaneously display the second preset display information and the first target display information in a second display state.
