Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If detection systems are used to detect information in the surroundings, then the driving assistance function can operate, but false or incorrect detections occur leading to incorrect operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of detectionVSAvoidfalse detections
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A remote data storage device acts as an intermediary between the vehicle's detection system and the driving function control. This external system stores verified information about the vehicle's surroundings and provides it to the vehicle, allowing verification of detected information without requiring the vehicle to independently verify all detections, thus reducing false positives while maintaining system responsiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by comparing detected information against verified information stored in the remote data storage device. When a detection is made, the system queries the remote system to verify whether the detected information is correct before acting on it, creating a feedback loop that eliminates false detections while preserving true detections

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If verification of detected information is performed using remote data storage, then incorrect detections are excluded, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification accuracyVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The verification function is extracted from the vehicle itself and placed in a separate remote data storage device. This allows the vehicle to maintain a simpler architecture while still benefiting from verified information, as the complex verification infrastructure is externalized rather than embedded in the vehicle system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The remote data storage device serves multiple functions: storing verified information about surroundings, providing verification data to multiple vehicles, and potentially updating information based on contributions from various sources. This multi-functionality justifies the added system complexity by providing broad benefits across multiple uses

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