Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If sonar positioning devices and infrared monitoring devices are used to determine environment scene states, then the detection capability is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical detection devices (sonar, infrared monitoring) with an air flow detection system that uses fluid dynamics principles. By measuring air flow velocity and direction with simpler sensors and applying mathematical modeling, the system achieves environment detection without the complexity and cost of traditional devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the detection parameter from direct environmental measurement (using complex sonar/infrared devices) to indirect measurement through air flow parameters (velocity, direction). By monitoring how air flow changes in response to environmental conditions, the system achieves detection using simpler sensors and mathematical models.
2Measurement precision
If human thermal energy monitoring devices are used to determine environment scene states, then the measurement precision is improved, but the cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent substitutes expensive thermal energy monitoring devices with a mechanical fluid dynamics approach. By using air flow sensors and mathematical modeling to infer environmental conditions, the system achieves comparable detection accuracy at lower cost.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs inexpensive air flow sensors and computational methods instead of costly thermal monitoring equipment. The system uses affordable components combined with mathematical modeling to achieve effective environment detection without requiring expensive specialized devices.
3Device complexity
If conventional detection devices are used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ability to detect overall environmental changes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces air flow as an intermediary medium to detect environmental changes. Instead of using complex devices to directly measure environmental parameters, the system measures air flow velocity and direction, which serve as intermediaries that reflect overall environmental conditions through mathematical modeling.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a multi-functional detection system where air flow sensors can detect various environmental conditions (temperature changes, humidity, air quality, presence of objects) through a single unified approach. The mathematical model processes air flow data to infer multiple environmental parameters, providing universal detection capability with simple hardware.
