Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a system is established to share information between autonomous vehicles and third-party service providers, then user convenience and service utilization are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that mediates between the autonomous vehicle and third-party service providers. The server receives destination information from the vehicle, manages service data, and facilitates information exchange, thereby simplifying the direct interaction complexity between vehicle and multiple service providers while improving user convenience through coordinated service delivery

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If destination information and service data are exchanged between vehicle and third party, then service efficiency is improved, but information security risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice efficiencyVSAvoidinformation security risks
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as a secure intermediary that handles all information exchange between the vehicle and third-party service providers. It receives destination information from the vehicle, processes service requests, and manages data transmission, thereby enabling efficient service delivery while centralizing security control and reducing direct exposure of the vehicle system to external information security risks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
