Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If digital twin systems use fixed information transmission rates, then system simplicity is maintained, but real-time interaction capability is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time interaction capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic information transmission rate adjustment by having the terminal adaptively change transmission rates based on network conditions. The terminal receives network state notifications from core network elements, determines quality of service requirements according to network state, and adjusts transmission rates accordingly to enable real-time digital twin updates while maintaining system adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the transmission rate parameter dynamically based on network state. The terminal determines quality of service requirements according to network state and adjusts information transmission rates accordingly, allowing the system to adapt to varying network conditions and achieve real-time interaction when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Speed

If information transmission rate is increased for real-time updates, then real-time interaction is achieved, but network resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation transmission rateVSAvoidnetwork resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts transmission rates based on real-time network conditions. When network state allows, higher transmission rates are used for real-time updates; when network resources are constrained, rates are reduced, optimizing the balance between real-time performance and resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal adjusts the information transmission rate parameter according to quality of service requirements determined from network state. This allows the system to use higher rates when needed for real-time interaction and lower rates when network resources are limited, reducing overall resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If adaptive transmission rate adjustment is implemented, then real-time interaction capability is achieved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time interaction capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the terminal receives network state notifications from core network elements and adjusts transmission rates based on quality of service requirements. This feedback loop enables adaptive real-time interaction while managing complexity through structured feedback processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal autonomously determines quality of service requirements and adjusts its own transmission rates based on network state notifications. This self-service approach enables adaptability without requiring complex centralized control, reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
