Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If configuration parameters are stored in the barcode scanning gun memory for matching during scanning, then the scanning gun can perform local parameter matching, but the data retrieval time becomes long and the retrieval ability requirement increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter matching accuracyVSAvoiddata retrieval time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the configuration parameter storage function from the barcode scanning gun memory to an external RFID tag. The scanning gun only retains the RFID reading function, while the configuration parameters are stored externally in the RFID tag memory. This separation allows the scanning gun to quickly read the RFID tag and retrieve configuration parameters without performing time-consuming searches in its own memory, thus reducing data retrieval time while maintaining parameter matching accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The RFID tag serves as an intermediary between the barcode scanning gun and the configuration parameters. Instead of the scanning gun directly storing and searching for configuration parameters in its memory, it uses the RFID tag as a mediator to store and provide the parameters. The scanning gun reads the RFID tag's unique identifier and retrieves the corresponding configuration parameters from the RFID tag's memory, significantly reducing the retrieval time and processing burden on the scanning gun.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple configuration parameters are stored in the scanning gun memory, then comprehensive parameter matching is possible, but the data retrieval complexity and time increase
