Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If computing resources and data storage are distributed across multiple devices, then each device can operate independently, but system complexity, power consumption, and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges computing resources, data storage, and processing capabilities into a centralized base station. Multiple connected devices share common hardware resources (CPU, GPU, storage, memory) through wireless communication, eliminating the need for each device to have redundant computing components. This consolidation reduces overall system complexity while maintaining operational reliability through centralized management.
Solution Approach 2:
The base station serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as a computing server, data storage repository, thermal management system, and communication hub for multiple devices. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for each connected device to have dedicated computing resources, reducing individual device complexity while maintaining system-wide reliability.
2Ease of operation
If each device has its own computing power and storage, then devices can function autonomously, but power consumption and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts computing power, storage capacity, and processing capabilities from individual connected devices and consolidates them into a centralized base station. Devices retain autonomous functionality by communicating their needs to the base station, which performs computations and manages data storage remotely. This extraction eliminates redundant power consumption from multiple duplicate computing systems while maintaining operational autonomy through wireless communication.
3Device complexity
If computing resources are centralized at a base station, then device complexity and power consumption reduce, but data transmission dependency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces wireless communication systems as intermediaries between connected devices and the base station. High-bandwidth wireless links (including line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight communication) enable data transmission without physical connection dependency. The intermediary communication infrastructure maintains reliability by providing multiple transmission paths and protocols, allowing devices to remain simple while ensuring robust data exchange.
4Ease of manufacture
If multiple devices share common resources, then cost and complexity reduce, but access control and content management become more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the base station continuously monitors device locations, user identities, and resource usage patterns. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically adjusts access control policies and content delivery. Location-based services and user authentication systems provide real-time feedback to determine which devices can access which resources, simplifying access control through automated decision-making rather than complex manual configuration.
Data Source
AI summary
A method includes determining a location of a device based on wireless communication of the device with one or more line-of-sight dependent communication devices that allow data transmission between the device and a base station, determining content to be provided to the device based in part on the location of the device, performing computing operations that correspond to the content at the base station using inputs transmitted to the base station from the device, and transmitting outputs of the computing operations from the base station to the device for display at the device.
