Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple sensing data sources are integrated to improve detection accuracy, then the system becomes more vulnerable to coordinated attacks and data tampering, but security and reliability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidsystem security
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a causal graph as an intermediary representation that models the causal relationships between different sensing data sources. This causal graph serves as a mediator that allows the system to integrate multiple sensing inputs while maintaining the ability to detect inconsistencies and tampering, thus resolving the contradiction between improved detection accuracy through multi-source integration and system security against coordinated attacks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system accepts all sensing data from multiple sources to improve comprehensive detection, then erroneous or tampered data can cause dangerous misinterpretations, but safety deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive detection capabilityVSAvoidsafety risks from erroneous data
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the causal graph continuously monitors and validates the consistency of sensing data from multiple sources. When inconsistencies or tampering are detected through causal relationship analysis, the system provides feedback to correct or reject erroneous data, thereby maintaining comprehensive detection capability while preventing safety risks from misinterpretation of tampered data.
