Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems fail to selectively provide only the necessary information from autonomous driving vehicles to service providers, leading to unnecessary data sharing and potential privacy concerns.

Innovation Solution

A server device that collects, stores, and selectively provides information to service providers based on their requests, and includes deletion and transmission processes for user-controlled data management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the server provides all acquired information from autonomous driving vehicles to service providers, then service providers can access comprehensive data for service delivery, but user privacy is compromised and data security risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice capabilityVSAvoidprivacy risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments information into different types (operation information, personal information, etc.) and applies different management rules to each segment. The management server selectively provides only necessary operation information to service providers while protecting personal information, thus enabling service capability while reducing privacy risks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and separates personal information from operation information. The management server extracts only the necessary operation information required for service delivery and excludes personal information, thereby providing comprehensive service data while eliminating privacy exposure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Loss of information

If the server stores and manages all acquired information, then complete data is available for service provision, but system complexity and data management burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a management server as an intermediary between autonomous driving vehicles and service providers. This intermediary selectively acquires, stores, and provides information according to predetermined rules, maintaining data completeness for services while simplifying the system by centralizing data management logic and reducing direct connections between vehicles and multiple service providers

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the server provides information to multiple service providers, then various services can be delivered, but data transmission overhead and network load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice varietyVSAvoidnetwork overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by having the management server selectively acquire and store information in advance according to predetermined selection rules. Service providers then retrieve only the specific information they need from this pre-organized storage, reducing network overhead compared to real-time direct data collection from vehicles while maintaining diverse service capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
