Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If adaptive sampling rates are used to collect data from multiple sensors, then data collection efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata collection efficiencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements adaptive sampling rates that dynamically adjust based on the companion animal's detected state (e.g., sleeping, awake, exercising). The processor modifies sampling frequencies of microphones, inertial measurement devices, and gas sensors in real-time, transitioning between high sampling rates during active states and low sampling rates during resting states, thereby optimizing the balance between data collection efficiency and power consumption without permanently increasing device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes operational parameters (sampling rates, interpolation model complexity) based on detected animal states and breed characteristics. Different sampling rates are applied to different sensor types depending on the animal's state, and interpolation models are adjusted to match the specific needs of different breeds, allowing efficient data collection while managing computational complexity through parameter adaptation rather than fixed high complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If multiple sensors with high sampling rates are used to collect comprehensive data, then measurement precision is improved, but use of energy increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement precisionVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs periodic sampling at variable frequencies rather than continuous high-rate sampling. The processor activates sensors at high sampling rates only during specific periods when the animal is awake or engaged in activities requiring detailed monitoring, and switches to low sampling rates or sleep mode during resting periods, thereby maintaining measurement precision when needed while significantly reducing overall power consumption through periodic rather than continuous operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by detecting the animal's state using low-power sensors (such as inertial measurement devices) before activating high-power sensors (microphones, gas sensors) at high sampling rates. This preliminary detection determines whether comprehensive high-precision data collection is necessary, allowing the system to maintain measurement precision for critical moments while avoiding unnecessary high energy consumption during extended periods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If interpolation models with high complexity are used to process data, then data integration accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integration accuracyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements parameter changes in interpolation model complexity based on the companion animal's breed, age, and detected state. The processor selects appropriate interpolation models (e.g., linear interpolation for simple cases, higher-order interpolation for complex patterns) dynamically, using simpler models for data from animals with straightforward behavioral patterns and more complex models only when necessary, thereby achieving accurate data integration without permanently increasing device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial action by using high-complexity interpolation models only for specific portions of the data processing pipeline rather than for all data uniformly. The processor applies different levels of processing complexity to different sensor data types and time periods, using simple interpolation for routine data and complex interpolation only when the animal's state or breed characteristics require it, thereby achieving necessary data integration accuracy while minimizing overall computational complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
