Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a single communication channel is used between control module and wireless communication module, then device complexity is reduced, but data communication efficiency deteriorates due to inability to prioritize different data packets

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata communication efficiencyVSAvoidcommunication channel structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides a single physical communication channel into multiple virtual logical channels (e.g., control channel, data channel, logging channel) that can be independently managed. Each virtual channel handles specific types of data packets with different priority levels, enabling efficient prioritization without requiring multiple physical channels. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by providing multi-channel functionality through software while maintaining single physical channel simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If multiple physical communication channels are created to handle different priority levels, then data communication efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata communication efficiencyVSAvoidcommunication channel structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a multi-channel protocol layer as an intermediary between the control module and wireless communication module. This protocol layer manages multiple virtual logical channels and prioritizes data packets without requiring multiple physical channels. The intermediary handles channel allocation, priority queuing, and data routing, resolving the contradiction by providing complex multi-channel management functionality through a software layer while maintaining simple physical channel infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If data packets are transmitted without priority classification, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability deteriorates due to inability to ensure timely transmission of critical data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoiddata packet management
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent assigns different priority levels and quality characteristics to different virtual logical channels based on their specific requirements. Control channel packets receive highest priority with guaranteed transmission, data channel packets have medium priority, and logging channel packets have lowest priority. This local quality differentiation ensures reliable transmission of critical data while managing overall system complexity through structured channel classification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Adaptability or versatility

If virtual logical channels are implemented through software, then adaptability is improved, but use of energy increases due to software processing overhead

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel configuration flexibilityVSAvoidprocessing energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic channel allocation and priority assignment through software, allowing the system to adapt to different communication scenarios and data types. The multi-channel protocol layer can dynamically create, modify, or remove virtual channels based on application requirements, providing high adaptability. The software-based approach consumes more energy than hardware implementation but provides flexible, reconfigurable channel management that can be optimized for different operational modes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
