Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional high-precision map updates in autonomous driving are costly and lack security and reliability due to indiscriminate data collection from various vehicles, which are not differentiated in terms of their capabilities or trustworthiness.

Innovation Solution

A data processing method involving the allocation of identification codes based on vehicle type indication information to determine specific processing manners for perception data, enhancing security and reliability by distinguishing between different types of vehicles and their data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If perception data from all crowdsourcing vehicles is collected and processed without distinction, then data volume and map update coverage are improved, but data security and reliability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata volumeVSAvoiddata security and reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments crowdsourcing vehicles into different categories (first vehicles and second vehicles) based on their characteristics, and applies different processing manners to each segment. This segmentation allows the system to maintain comprehensive data collection while ensuring security and reliability by treating different data sources differently according to their trustworthiness and capability levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If conventional high-precision map production methods are used, then initial map production quality is improved, but update costs and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemap production qualityVSAvoidupdate process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of vehicle classification and assigns different processing manners based on vehicle types. This parameter change enables the system to maintain high map update precision while reducing operational complexity by automating the differentiation process and assigning appropriate processing levels to different vehicle categories, rather than treating all vehicles uniformly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If all vehicles are treated equally in data collection, then ease of operation is improved, but data processing accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata collection simplicityVSAvoiddata processing accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic classification of vehicles into different types with corresponding processing manners. This dynamic approach maintains operational simplicity for data collection while improving processing accuracy by adapting the processing method to the specific characteristics and reliability levels of different vehicle types, rather than using a static one-size-fits-all approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A map cloud allocates an identification code to a vehicle, maintains a correspondence between the identification code and a data processing manner, and sends the identification code to the vehicle. When reporting data, the vehicle reports the identification code allocated to the vehicle, that is, identifies the corresponding processing manner of the data by using the identification code, so that after receiving a data report message reported by the vehicle, the map cloud can quickly determine the data processing manner by using the identification code included in the data report message.
