Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple signal processing devices are used to handle complex display signals in vehicles, then signal processing capability is improved, but data transmission security deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal processing capabilityVSAvoiddata transmission security
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the vehicle display system into multiple zone signal processing devices (first zone, second zone, third zone, fourth zone), each handling specific display signals independently. This segmentation allows complex signal processing while maintaining security through distributed authentication and encryption management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A policy table acts as an intermediary mechanism between signal processing devices, storing and managing authentication credentials, encryption keys, and security policies. This intermediary enables secure data transmission by mediating the authentication and encryption processes between multiple zone devices without requiring direct trust relationships.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If authentication and encryption are implemented among multiple signal processing devices, then data transmission security is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission securityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The policy table serves multiple functions simultaneously: storing authentication credentials, managing encryption keys, maintaining security policies, and tracking device identities. This multi-functionality reduces system complexity by consolidating security management into a single universal structure rather than requiring separate mechanisms for each security function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes security parameters (authentication credentials, encryption keys, security policies) stored in the policy table based on different transmission scenarios and device identities. This allows flexible security management without requiring complex hard-coded security logic, simplifying the overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
