Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a driver manipulates buttons and controls while driving, then vehicle functions can be controlled, but driving safety deteriorates and accidents may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a terminal apparatus as an intermediary device that allows passengers to control vehicle functions remotely. The terminal communicates with the vehicle's electronic device through a communication unit, enabling control operations to be performed outside the vehicle or without distracting the driver. This mediator transfers control commands from the passenger to the vehicle system, resolving the contradiction by allowing ease of operation while maintaining driving safety.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple operating systems are installed in the electronic device, then system versatility improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal interface through the terminal apparatus that can interact with multiple operating systems (RTOS and GPOS) installed in the vehicle's electronic device. The terminal serves as a multi-functional control point, allowing a single device to manage and access various operating systems without requiring separate complex interfaces for each system. This approach maintains versatility while simplifying the user experience.
3Speed
If the driver controls all vehicle functions directly, then control responsiveness is high, but driver distraction increases and safety decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments control functions into two categories: those requiring immediate driver response (vehicle operation) and those that can be handled by passengers through the terminal apparatus (system configuration, media control, etc.). This segmentation allows the driver to maintain focus on driving while passengers handle non-critical control tasks, thereby maintaining control responsiveness for essential functions while improving driving safety by reducing driver distraction.
