Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If charging device search function is provided to locate charging devices, then users can find charging stations, but reliable information for determining charging device quality and battery authenticity cannot be provided
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by measuring magnetic field distributions of batteries charged at different charging devices, comparing these measurements against reference values, and using the comparison results to evaluate and rank charging devices. This feedback loop enables continuous improvement of charging device quality assessment based on actual authentication outcomes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical or visual inspection methods for battery authentication with magnetic field measurement and analysis. By using magnetic field distribution patterns as a unique fingerprint for genuine batteries, the system achieves more reliable and objective authentication without requiring physical examination of battery components.
2Reliability
If battery authentication using magnetic field distribution is implemented, then genuine products can be identified, but charging device quality evaluation cannot be performed
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the results of battery authenticity determination as feedback to evaluate charging devices. By analyzing whether batteries charged at specific devices are authenticated as genuine, the system builds a quality profile for each charging device, enabling users to select reliable charging stations.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic field measurement system serves multiple functions: it authenticates individual batteries by comparing their magnetic field patterns against reference values, and simultaneously evaluates charging devices by analyzing the authentication success rates of batteries charged at each device. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate evaluation systems.
3Loss of information
If charging devices are evaluated based on battery authenticity results, then charging device quality information can be provided, but users cannot distinguish between genuine and non-genuine batteries
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides dual feedback: immediate feedback to users about whether their specific battery is genuine through authentication results, and aggregated feedback about charging device quality based on cumulative authentication data. This layered feedback approach satisfies both individual authentication needs and overall quality assessment requirements.
