Solution Overview

Problem

In Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (WAVE) communication, users face inconvenience and safety risks due to the need for manual input of detailed information about their moving situation, especially when additional configuration is not available, leading to poor usability and safety.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with a communication module, sensors, and a processor that identifies movement states and automatically transmits relevant information to external devices, providing real-time feedback for user input, thus simplifying and enhancing the safety of data transfer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual input of detailed movement information is required, then information accuracy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accuracyVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic device automatically detects movement information using built-in sensors (accelerometer, gyro sensor, barometer) and transmits this information without requiring manual user input. The device serves itself by autonomously acquiring and managing movement data, eliminating the need for users to manually configure detailed movement information while maintaining high information accuracy through sensor-based detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If additional information is transmitted, then reliability is improved, but device complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic device dynamically adjusts the amount of information transmitted based on the movement state. When the device detects that it has been dropped or is in an abnormal movement state, it automatically transmits additional detailed information (sensor data, location information, device state) to enhance reliability. During normal operation, only essential information is transmitted, keeping the system simple. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by making the system complex only when necessary for reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If automatic detection is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic device utilizes its existing multi-functional sensors (accelerometer, gyro sensor, barometer, GPS) that are already present for other purposes (motion gaming, navigation, step counting) and repurposes them for automatic movement detection and transmission. By making these existing components serve multiple functions including safety monitoring, the device achieves automatic detection capabilities without adding significant complexity, as the sensors and processing infrastructure already exist for other features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
