Vehicle Component State Validation via Priority Segmentation

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle monitoring systems lack efficient, real-time validation of components, consuming excessive time and power, and fail to ensure rider security due to the lack of online monitoring and potential tampering with sub-quality components.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that validate vehicle components by associating events with priority levels, identifying relevant components, and querying their parameters through a communication network, matching received values to stored values to determine component states, and taking action when discrepancies are found, thereby reducing validation time and power consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If continuous monitoring of all vehicle components is performed using a diagnostic system, then component security and reliability are improved, but time consumption and power consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecomponent securityVSAvoidvalidation time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the vehicle components into different priority levels (first priority, second priority, third priority) based on their criticality to vehicle operation and passenger safety. This segmentation allows the system to selectively monitor only the most critical components continuously, rather than all components equally, thereby reducing the time and computational resources required for validation while maintaining security for essential components.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial monitoring by focusing diagnostic efforts on a subset of components (those with higher priority levels) rather than performing exhaustive diagnostics on all components. The system performs continuous monitoring on first-priority components while using event-triggered monitoring for lower-priority components, achieving adequate security coverage with reduced validation time and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the vehicle components into different priority levels (first priority, second priority, third priority) based on their criticality to vehicle operation and passenger safety. This segmentation allows the system to selectively monitor only the most critical components continuously, rather than all components equally, thereby reducing the time and computational resources required for validation while maintaining security for essential components.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes predetermined priority classifications for different vehicle components before validation is needed. This preliminary action allows the system to quickly determine which components require monitoring based on pre-defined criteria, eliminating the need for complex real-time analysis and enabling faster validation decisions that improve vehicle allocation efficiency.

AI summary

A system and a method for validating states of one or more components of a vehicle are provided. The system includes circuitry that receives an event, determines associated priority level based on first mapping. The circuitry identifies the one or more components associated with the priority level based on a second mapping. The circuitry identifies one or more parameters associated with each of the one or more components, and generates a query message. The query message is a function of either the one or more components or the one or more parameters. The circuitry transmits the query message to the vehicle, and receives the values of the one or more parameters from the vehicle. The circuitry validates the state of one or more components by matching the values of the one or more parameters to corresponding stored values of the one or more parameters.
