Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a server apparatus integrates user attribute information and environmental information to derive personalized proposals, then the precision of matching user needs is improved, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of matching user needsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments information processing into distinct modules: user attribute information management, environmental information acquisition, scenario information storage, and proposal derivation. Each module handles specific data types and functions independently, reducing overall system complexity while enabling precise matching through integrated processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The server apparatus acts as an intermediary between the in-vehicle apparatus and the user, collecting and processing various information types (user attributes, environmental data, scenario information) to generate personalized proposals. This intermediary role centralizes complex processing logic in the server, simplifying the in-vehicle apparatus while maintaining high matching precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the server apparatus stores and processes multiple types of information (user attributes, environmental data, scenario information), then the personalization accuracy of proposals is improved, but the information processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization accuracyVSAvoidinformation processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-storing user attribute information, environmental information, and scenario information in the server apparatus before proposal generation. This pre-processing and organization of data reduces the computational load during actual proposal derivation, as the server can efficiently query and combine pre-structured information rather than processing raw data in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A server apparatus includes a communication interface configured to make communication, a memory configured to store scenario information defining a proposal scenario to a user of a vehicle, and a controller configured to derive, using the scenario information, a proposal to the user based on attribute information indicating an attribute of the user and environmental information, and cause an in-vehicle apparatus of the vehicle to output or execute the proposal by transmitting, to the in-vehicle apparatus, proposal information indicating the proposal.
