Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If environmental data is collected in multiple directions using sensors, then the integrity and accuracy of environmental data is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenvironmental data accuracyVSAvoidsensor system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the environmental sensing task into multiple directional segments, with sensors positioned at different locations (front, rear, left, right) to collect data from specific directions. This segmentation allows comprehensive environmental coverage while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular sensor deployment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from two-dimensional planar display to three-dimensional spatial reconstruction by adding vertical and depth dimensions to environmental data representation. This dimensional enhancement improves measurement precision by providing立体 environmental information while managing complexity through software-based 3D reconstruction algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If three-dimensional reconstruction is performed on environmental data, then the intuitiveness of environmental information is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenvironmental information completenessVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary three-dimensional reconstruction processing on environmental data before display, pre-computing spatial relationships and structural information. This preliminary action ensures complete environmental information is available while reducing real-time processing delays by preparing 3D models in advance based on sensor data streams.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates digital three-dimensional copies or models of the physical environment based on sensor measurements. These virtual 3D replicas preserve complete environmental information while allowing efficient manipulation and display without requiring continuous real-time processing of raw sensor data, thus reducing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Speed

If real-time processing of environmental data is implemented, then the responsiveness of the system is improved, but the energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing speedVSAvoidprocessor energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic processing cycles for environmental data, updating three-dimensional reconstructions at optimized intervals rather than continuously. This periodic action maintains system responsiveness by providing regular updates while reducing energy consumption by allowing processing to occur in discrete bursts rather than continuous operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
