Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If multiple battery management systems perform tasks synchronously and communicate wirelessly, then task coordination is simplified, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates due to idle times

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask coordinationVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic task scheduling where the master battery management system adjusts the operation schedules of slave systems based on real-time resource availability and task priorities. Instead of fixed synchronous execution, tasks are allocated dynamically to avoid idle times while maintaining coordination through centralized schedule management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs feedback mechanisms where slave battery management systems report their task completion status and resource availability to the master system. The master system uses this feedback to adjust and optimize the overall task schedule, ensuring efficient resource utilization while maintaining coordinated operation across all systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Device complexity

If fixed work schedules are used for tasks, then scheduling is simple, but work efficiency deteriorates due to inability to adapt to changing conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescheduling complexityVSAvoidwork efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from static fixed schedules to dynamic adaptive scheduling. The master battery management system continuously monitors task progress and system conditions, adjusting work schedules in real-time to optimize efficiency while maintaining manageable complexity through automated decision-making algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes scheduling parameters dynamically based on task priorities, resource availability, and system state. Instead of fixed time allocations, the patent adjusts task execution parameters adaptively, allowing the system to respond to changing conditions while maintaining overall scheduling coherence through centralized control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
