Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traders and users attempt to assess battery degradation manually or through conventional methods, then they can avoid complex specialized facilities, but the assessment accuracy deteriorates and undervaluation occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an authentication mark as an intermediary carrier that bridges the gap between the battery and the assessment system. The mark contains encoded degradation information that can be read by portable terminals, eliminating the need for traders and users to directly perform complex battery assessments while ensuring accurate data transmission from the server to the end users.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual battery assessment methods and complex specialized testing facilities with an information-based system. Degradation information is calculated by the server and transmitted through authentication marks that can be read by portable terminals, substituting mechanical assessment processes with digital information exchange.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive battery degradation information is obtained through suitable facilities and various data sources, then assessment accuracy improves, but the time required and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary calculation of battery degradation information by the server before the actual trading or assessment occurs. The server calculates degradation data based on battery usage history and other parameters in advance, stores it, and makes it available through authentication marks, eliminating the need for time-consuming on-site assessments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a digital copy of battery degradation information in the form of authentication marks that can be easily transmitted and read. Instead of physically transporting batteries to specialized facilities for assessment, the system copies the essential degradation data into a portable, machine-readable format that can be accessed instantly by portable terminals.
3Ease of operation
If battery degradation information is made accessible through authentication marks and portable terminals, then ease of information acquisition improves, but the reliability of information transmission must be ensured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms in the information transmission process. The authentication mark system includes verification protocols where the portable terminal reads the mark and the system can verify the authenticity and integrity of the transmitted degradation information, ensuring reliable data exchange between the server and end users.
Data Source
AI summary
A battery degradation authentication device includes: a communication portion configured to communicate with a server; an input portion configured to receive specification information to specify a specific battery as a battery selected by a user; and an output portion. The communication portion acquires battery information including at least one of degradation information of the specific battery and related information related to the degradation information from the server. The output portion outputs an authentication mark based on which the battery information is acquirable.
