Solution Overview

Problem

Existing rideable vehicles, such as electric cars and scooters, face inefficiencies in adjusting vehicle parameters due to cumbersome button operations, which hinder rapid adjustments and impact operational efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that displays adjustable vehicle parameters in a universal setting interface, allowing users to input settings via a connected display, enabling flexible adjustments and updates of vehicle parameters through a communication connection, thereby simplifying the control process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If vehicle parameters are adjusted using traditional button operations, then the vehicle can be controlled, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle parameter adjustmentVSAvoidparameter adjustment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical button operation system with a display-based interface system. The display shows parameter information and receives user inputs, eliminating the need for physical button combinations. This substitution of mechanical interaction with visual/display-based interaction resolves the contradiction by making parameter adjustment more intuitive and faster, directly improving ease of operation while reducing the time required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple buttons are used for parameter adjustment, then various functions can be accessed, but the operation mode becomes hard to memorize

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter adjustment capabilityVSAvoidoperation memorability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the parameter adjustment interface into distinct visual elements on the display, with each parameter or function group presented separately. This segmentation allows users to access various functions without needing to remember complex button combinations, as each function is clearly presented and selectable on the display interface, thereby maintaining versatility while improving ease of operation and memorability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If a universal setting interface is implemented, then parameter adjustment becomes flexible, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter setting flexibilityVSAvoidcontrol interface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal display-based setting interface that can handle multiple parameter adjustment functions through a single unified system. This universal interface replaces multiple specialized button configurations with one multi-functional display system that adapts to different parameter types, thereby achieving flexibility without proportionally increasing device complexity, as the display system serves all functions through a common platform.

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