Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If conventional cellular routers transmit all data without filtering, then complete data transmission is achieved, but bandwidth cost increases and network efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebandwidth costVSAvoiddata transmission completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The gateway performs data filtering, analysis, and compression before transmission over the cellular network. By preprocessing data at the edge device rather than transmitting all raw data, the system reduces bandwidth consumption and cost while ensuring only necessary information is transmitted.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The intelligent gateway acts as an intermediary between local devices and the cellular network. It receives data from local devices, processes it through filtering and compression algorithms, and then transmits the optimized data to remote servers, thereby reducing the burden on the cellular network.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If conventional cellular routers transmit all data without compression, then data integrity is maintained, but network efficiency and transmission speed decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork efficiencyVSAvoiddata integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

Data compression is performed preliminarily at the gateway before transmission. The gateway analyzes incoming data, compresses it using appropriate algorithms, and then transmits the compressed version, improving network efficiency while preserving essential information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The gateway changes the parameters of data transmission by applying compression algorithms that reduce data size while maintaining critical information. Different compression strategies can be applied based on data type and priority, optimizing the balance between transmission efficiency and information preservation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If separate devices are used for management and configuration, then device functionality is specialized, but system complexity and operational difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanagement simplicityVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The gateway combines multiple functions including data filtering, compression, local device control, and application execution into a single integrated device. This consolidation simplifies the overall system architecture and makes operation more straightforward compared to having separate specialized devices for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The intelligent gateway is designed as a multi-functional device that can perform data processing, network management, local device control, and even execute remote applications. This universal approach reduces the need for multiple specialized devices and simplifies system management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Loss of energy

If no data filtering is performed, then all information is transmitted, but bandwidth consumption increases and cost rises

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebandwidth consumptionVSAvoiddata volume transmitted
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The gateway extracts and removes unnecessary or redundant data from the incoming data stream before transmission. By filtering out superfluous information and keeping only essential data, the system significantly reduces the volume of data transmitted over the cellular network, lowering bandwidth consumption and cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Data filtering and analysis are performed in advance at the gateway before data leaves the local network. This preliminary processing identifies and eliminates redundant information, ensuring that only necessary data is transmitted, thereby optimizing bandwidth usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A device, system, and method include receiving via a first network, by a remote computer server, a customized application from a user. The customized application is transmitted, by the remote computer server, to one or more intelligent cellular communications gateway devices. The customized application can be automatically installed and configured. Each intelligent cellular communications gateway device can receive local information from a device. The local information is analyzed and the local device can be controlled by the intelligent cellular communications gateway device based oft the analyzed local information. In addition, the intelligent cellular communications gateway device can filter and/or compress the local information, and transmit via a cellular network, the filtered and compressed information, to the remote computer server. The filtered and compressed information includes a portion of the local information that is less than a total amount of the local information received, thereby conserving bandwidth of the cellular network.
