Vehicle Error Data Management via Topic and Time Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional vehicle error data systems lack user-friendly features, making it difficult for users to selectively read and visualize specific error data, as they are typically played in chronological order without a user interface for visualization.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that categorize error data by topic or time frame, allowing users to select and display desired data through a user interface with buttons for playback control, enabling users to review specific portions rather than the entire dataset chronologically.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If error data are played in chronological order from a single file, then the data can be stored simply, but the user cannot easily read specific error data and must review everything from the beginning
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides error data into multiple files organized by topic and time frame, allowing users to directly access specific error data without reviewing the entire dataset. This segmentation enables selective playback of only relevant error portions, significantly reducing review time while maintaining easy accessibility.
2Ease of operation
If traditional error data systems store data without categorization, then the system structure remains simple, but visualization and selective reading become impossible
Solution Approach 1:
Error data are divided into multiple files categorized by topic and time frame, enabling both visualization and selective access. This segmentation creates an organized structure that supports user-friendly interfaces while maintaining manageable complexity through systematic categorization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces topic and time frame as additional organizational dimensions beyond chronological order. This multi-dimensional categorization enables users to navigate and visualize error data through different perspectives, enhancing accessibility without proportionally increasing complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If all error data are processed and displayed chronologically, then complete data review is achieved, but user-friendly selective access is lost
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting error data into topic-based and time-based files, the system provides flexible access options where users can select specific topics or time periods for review. This segmentation enables adaptable data access while supporting a user-friendly interface that allows selective playback without requiring chronological review of all data.

AI summary
Systems and methods of managing error data associated with a vehicle to provide a more user-friendly vehicle error data system. A method of managing error data associated with a vehicle incorporates storing error data in a memory; categorizing the error data via topics or time frame via a processor coupled to the memory; analyzing the error data to result in at least one topic thread or a time thread; selecting desired error data in response to selection of the desired error data from the error data by a user; converting the desired error data into readable information via the processor; and displaying the readable information via a user interface providing a human-machine interaction.
