Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the same access control method is applied to both lightweight terminals and common terminals, then the access control process is simple and unified, but the performance of common terminals deteriorates due to the large number of lightweight terminals accessing the system
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the access control process by introducing different access control parameters for lightweight terminals and common terminals. Specifically, it uses terminal type identification to divide terminals into different categories and applies different access control methods (first access control parameter for lightweight terminals, second access control parameter for common terminals), thereby resolving the contradiction between unified simplicity and performance protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by customizing access control parameters according to terminal types. Different access control parameters are applied to different terminal categories based on their specific characteristics and requirements, allowing the system to optimize for each terminal type locally rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
2Adaptability or versatility
If lightweight terminals are allowed to access the system without restriction, then the adaptability and coverage of the system is improved, but the system performance and resource allocation efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic access control by adjusting access control parameters based on terminal types and system conditions. The access control parameters are not fixed but are dynamically selected based on the terminal category (lightweight or common) and can be further adjusted based on system load and resource availability, thereby maintaining both adaptability and efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes access control parameters according to terminal types and system states. Different access control parameters (first parameter for lightweight terminals, second parameter for common terminals) are applied based on terminal classification, and these parameters can be dynamically adjusted based on system conditions such as resource availability and load, resolving the contradiction between coverage and efficiency.
3Reliability
If access control parameters are differentiated by terminal type, then the system performance and resource allocation is optimized, but the access control mechanism becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the access control mechanism into distinct branches based on terminal type identification. By dividing terminals into lightweight and common categories and applying different access control parameters to each segment, the system achieves performance optimization while keeping each segment's control logic relatively simple and manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary classification of terminals by type before applying access control. By identifying terminal types in advance and pre-defining different access control parameters for different terminal categories, the system prepares the control mechanism beforehand, reducing the complexity of real-time decision-making while maintaining performance optimization.
4Ease of operation
If all terminals use the same access control parameters, then the ease of operation and implementation is maintained, but the performance degradation of common terminals due to lightweight terminal access cannot be prevented
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the access control implementation into type-specific branches. By dividing terminals into categories and applying different access control parameters to each category, the system maintains ease of operation within each segment while preventing performance degradation through differentiated control, thus resolving the contradiction between operational simplicity and performance protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by customizing access control parameters for specific terminal types rather than using a uniform approach. This allows the system to maintain simple and straightforward access control for each terminal type locally, while the overall system benefits from differentiated parameters that protect common terminal performance.
