Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional methods (laser radar, ultrasonic sensor, deep learning algorithm) are used for scene information identification, then the vehicle can perform perception and obstacle avoidance, but the process becomes tedious and robustness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverobustness of vehicle controlVSAvoidcomplexity of identification process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the core identification function from complex multi-sensor processing by using a projection pattern recognition approach. Instead of processing data from laser radar, ultrasonic sensors, and deep learning algorithms separately, the system projects a specific pattern onto the scene and identifies scene information by analyzing the reflected projection pattern, thereby simplifying the identification process while maintaining reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a projection pattern as a simplified copy or representation of the scene structure. By projecting a known geometric pattern and analyzing its reflection or distortion, the system can infer scene information without needing to process complex raw sensor data from multiple sources, reducing computational complexity while preserving identification accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If traditional identification methods are used, then scene information can be obtained, but the safety of vehicle operation is adversely affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety of vehicle operationVSAvoidtime for identification process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by projecting a structured pattern onto the scene before actual vehicle operation. This pre-established projection pattern serves as a reference framework that enables rapid identification of scene changes, allowing the vehicle to respond quickly to obstacles or environmental changes without time-consuming sensor processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes optical property changes (analogous to color changes) by analyzing how the projection pattern is reflected, absorbed, or distorted by different scene elements. This optical-based identification method provides rapid feedback about scene composition and obstacles, enabling fast safety decisions without the time delay associated with traditional sensor fusion and deep learning processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes
