Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If workers perform manual marking on concrete surfaces to indicate scanning ranges and side lines, then the scanning process can be structured and organized, but the workload and complexity for workers increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The scanning device automatically performs functions that previously required manual marking operations. The device self-manages the scanning process by automatically defining scanning ranges and recording positions without requiring workers to physically mark the concrete surface with tape, thereby reducing manual intervention while maintaining process organization
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical marking system (tape affixing by workers) with an electronic/digital system. The scanning device uses sensors and processors to automatically define and record scanning ranges and positions, substituting physical marking operations with electronic data capture and processing
2Loss of information
If workers perform manual marking to define scanning ranges, then scanning areas can be clearly identified, but the time and effort required for preparation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The scanning device performs preliminary automated setup operations. Before scanning begins, the device automatically configures scanning parameters, defines scanning ranges through electronic boundaries, and prepares the scanning environment without requiring workers to spend time on manual marking preparations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a digital copy or representation of the scanning area through electronic data structures rather than physical markings. The scanning ranges and positions are captured as digital information that can be stored, processed, and referenced without requiring physical tape markers on the concrete surface

AI summary
It is an object of the present invention to provide a dimensional information management device with which search information about a buried object in a target can be effectively utilized, and the burden on the worker can be reduced, as well as a dimensional information management system comprising this dimensional information management device. A dimensional information management device 40 manages dimensional information about a buried object 51 included in a search image showing the presence or absence of the buried object in a wall surface 50 generated by a buried object scanning device 10 that has been scanned along the wall surface 50, said dimensional information management device comprising a data receiving unit 41 and a memory unit 43. The data receiving unit 41 acquires search information including a search image from the buried object scanning device 10. The memory unit 43 stores the search information acquired by the data receiving unit 41.
