Innovation Solution
The integration of advanced sensors and systems such as LIDAR, RADAR, cameras, and communication networks within vehicles to enable autonomous or semi-autonomous driving, along with a network security system for real-time vulnerability analysis and patching, allowing for enhanced navigation and control capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional vehicle designs with standard frame sizes and shapes are used, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but adaptability to new technologies and power sources is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the vehicle frame adaptable and reconfigurable rather than fixed. The frame system can be dynamically adjusted to accommodate different power sources, propulsion systems, and component configurations, allowing the same base frame to serve multiple vehicle types and future technology iterations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality through a standardized base frame design that can support multiple functions and configurations. This universal frame structure can accommodate various power sources (electric, hybrid, conventional), different propulsion systems, and diverse component arrangements, eliminating the need for entirely different frame designs for each vehicle type.
2Reliability
If network security monitoring is implemented in real-time, then vulnerability detection capability is improved, but system resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous monitoring of network traffic and system vulnerabilities without interruption. The security system operates continuously in the background, constantly analyzing data flows and detecting potential threats, ensuring uninterrupted security protection while managing resource usage through efficient algorithms and prioritization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms where the security system continuously monitors network activity, detects vulnerabilities, and automatically responds by applying patches or blocking threats. The system uses feedback from monitoring data to adjust its behavior, prioritize critical vulnerabilities, and optimize resource allocation based on actual threat levels and system state.

AI summary
A security system can provide monitoring and vulnerability testing of networks within a vehicle and perform patching or take other remedial action when vulnerabilities are found. Monitoring can comprise maintaining and enforcing security policies on use of the networks of the vehicle, performing anti-virus and/or anti-malware monitoring and/or scanning on messages and use of the networks of the vehicle, monitoring in real-time for certain conditions or on certain aspects of operation of the networks, or performing one or more of a number of different types of automated vulnerability scans on the networks of the vehicle. Patching or take other remedial action can comprise, blocking access to one or more of the networks of the vehicle by an application, component, user, etc. when a threat is detected or a vulnerability is found, reporting a detected threat or vulnerability, obtaining and applying a patch or automatically taking other corrective action as needed.
