Solution Overview

Problem

Current vehicle units generate large amounts of data that are time-consuming to analyze, making it difficult for authorities and transport companies to efficiently check compliance with driving regulations and vehicle behavior, leading to unforeseeable costs and lack of proactivity.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle unit communicatively connected to a network entity that obtains vehicle information data, generates a driving behavior report based on this data, and transmits it to the network entity, which can include encryption for security, allowing for easier and more efficient compliance checks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If all vehicle information data is downloaded and analyzed for compliance checks, then complete compliance verification is achieved, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance verification completenessVSAvoidinspection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The vehicle unit performs preliminary processing of vehicle information data locally, generating a driving behavior report that summarizes compliance status before transmission to the network entity. This preliminary action filters and prepares data in advance, so that when authorities need to verify compliance, they receive pre-processed information rather than raw data, significantly reducing inspection time while maintaining verification completeness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts only the essential compliance-related information from the large volume of vehicle information data and transmits only this extracted subset to the network entity. By taking out only the relevant compliance indicators from the full dataset, the system maintains complete compliance verification capability while minimizing data transmission and analysis time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Loss of information

If direct access to vehicle unit is provided for downloading all vehicle information, then complete data analysis is possible, but the process is time-consuming and inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle information completenessVSAvoidinspection convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The driving behavior report serves as an intermediary between the complete vehicle information data and the compliance verification process. Instead of requiring direct access to and analysis of all raw vehicle information, the intermediary report provides a condensed summary that maintains the essential compliance information while being much easier and faster to process, thereby improving inspection convenience without losing critical compliance data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If large amounts of vehicle information data are transmitted and analyzed, then comprehensive compliance checking is achieved, but the process lacks efficiency and proactivity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance checking accuracyVSAvoidcompliance checking efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary compliance assessment locally at the vehicle unit by generating a driving behavior report that pre-evaluates compliance status. This preliminary action identifies potential violations before they need to be verified by authorities, enabling proactive compliance management while maintaining accurate reliability checks on essential parameters without requiring analysis of all raw data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts only the critical compliance indicators from the comprehensive vehicle information data and transmits these extracted key metrics to the network entity. By taking out only the essential compliance-relevant information, the system maintains reliable compliance checking accuracy while dramatically improving productivity by reducing the volume of data that requires transmission and analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
