Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If highly technical terms and jargons are used in battery management information, then professional accuracy is maintained, but user understanding and accessibility deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery information accuracyVSAvoiduser understanding
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary translation layer that converts technical battery parameters (voltage, current, temperature, SOC, SOH) into consumer-friendly indicators (battery lifespan prediction, abnormal behavior detection, management scores). This mediator preserves the accuracy of technical measurements while making the information accessible to non-expert users through intuitive visual displays and plain language explanations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive battery monitoring parameters are collected, then battery management precision is improved, but system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery monitoring precisionVSAvoidmonitoring system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the comprehensive battery monitoring system into distinct functional modules: data collection module (gathering voltage, current, temperature), analysis module (calculating SOC, SOH, lifespan prediction), and output module (displaying management scores and indicators). Each module handles specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive monitoring capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary processing layers that aggregate and simplify raw battery data into meaningful metrics. Instead of directly processing all raw sensor data, the system uses intermediate calculations (SOC, SOH) and composite indicators (management scores) to bridge the gap between complex measurements and user-friendly outputs, reducing computational burden and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If AI-based prediction algorithms are implemented, then battery lifespan prediction accuracy is improved, but computational resources and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelifespan prediction accuracyVSAvoidcomputational energy
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements partial AI processing by applying machine learning algorithms selectively to the most critical prediction tasks (lifespan estimation, abnormal behavior detection) while using simpler rule-based methods for routine monitoring. This partial application of complex algorithms reduces computational energy consumption while maintaining sufficient prediction accuracy for key battery management decisions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
