Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If sensing network and communication network operate independently with separate duties, then each network can maintain its own functionality, but the integration and unified management of the two networks is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork integration capabilityVSAvoidnetwork management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the sensing network and communication network into a unified network architecture where both networks share common infrastructure and management mechanisms. The base station simultaneously handles both communication services and sensing functions, while the core network device provides unified access control and restriction management for both network types through integrated signaling protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If terminal devices are allowed to access all sensing networks without restrictions, then network accessibility is maximized, but security and service quality control deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess control reliabilityVSAvoidnetwork access convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring restriction information in the core network device before terminal devices attempt to access sensing networks. The core network device stores access restrictions, terminal device identifiers, and sensing network type associations in advance, enabling automated access control decisions without requiring complex real-time evaluations during the access process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The core network device acts as an intermediary between terminal devices and sensing networks, mediating access control by evaluating restriction information against terminal identifiers and network types. This intermediary mechanism automates the access control process, providing reliable security checks while maintaining ease of operation through transparent automated decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If detailed restriction information is implemented for different sensing network types, then access control precision is improved, but information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments restriction information by sensing network types, creating distinct restriction records for different sensing network categories (e.g., video sensing, sensor networking). Each restriction information element is structured with specific fields for terminal device identifiers, sensing network type identifiers, and access control parameters, enabling precise control while maintaining organized, manageable data structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
