Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If the number of items of transmission data is decreased to reduce resource wastage, then system resource efficiency is improved, but the quality of appliance management deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments transmission data into two distinct types: first-type information (abnormality detection information, transmission abnormality information, information processing abnormality information) and second-type information (other appliance operation data). This segmentation allows the system to prioritize and transmit critical data while reducing overall transmission volume, thereby improving resource efficiency without sacrificing management quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by treating different types of appliance information with different transmission priorities and characteristics. First-type information related to abnormalities and errors is transmitted with higher priority and integrity requirements, while second-type information can be transmitted with reduced frequency or aggregation. This differentiated approach optimizes resource usage while maintaining necessary management quality for critical parameters.
2Loss of energy
If the transmission frequency is decreased to reduce resource wastage, then system resource efficiency is improved, but real-time appliance management capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic transmission frequency adjustment based on appliance state. When abnormalities or errors are detected (first-type information), the transmission frequency increases automatically to ensure real-time monitoring and response. During normal operation, the transmission frequency decreases to conserve resources. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between resource efficiency and real-time management capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from appliance operation data to control transmission behavior. Abnormality detection information and error information trigger increased transmission activity, while normal operation allows reduced transmission. This feedback mechanism ensures real-time management when needed while optimizing resource efficiency during stable periods.
3Loss of information
If all appliance information is transmitted to maintain data completeness, then information completeness is improved, but communication cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and separates first-type information (abnormality detection information, transmission abnormality information, information processing abnormality information) from the complete appliance information set. By extracting only the most critical data elements that require guaranteed delivery and high priority, the system maintains essential information completeness while significantly reducing communication volume and cost compared to transmitting all appliance data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the transmission parameters for different types of information. First-type information is transmitted with higher priority, greater frequency, and higher reliability guarantees, while second-type information uses reduced transmission parameters. This parameter differentiation maintains critical information completeness while optimizing communication cost through selective transmission strategies.
