Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If more resources are occupied to achieve sensing accuracy and precision requirements, then sensing accuracy is improved, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing accuracyVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The sensing service is divided into multiple stages: initial sensing stage and subsequent sensing stage. In the initial stage, basic sensing is performed with standard resources. Based on the initial results and trigger conditions, the system determines whether to proceed to the subsequent stage with additional resources, thereby segmenting resource allocation to avoid unnecessary resource occupation while maintaining sensing accuracy when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sensing service configuration is made dynamic through trigger conditions. The system initially configures sensing services with standard parameters, then dynamically adjusts whether to activate subsequent sensing services based on real-time trigger condition evaluations. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to optimize resource utilization efficiency by activating high-precision sensing only when necessary, while maintaining sensing accuracy requirements when trigger conditions are met.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If more resources are occupied to achieve sensing accuracy and precision requirements, then sensing precision is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing precisionVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The sensing process is segmented into an initial sensing phase and a subsequent sensing phase. The initial phase consumes standard energy resources to obtain basic sensing results. The system then evaluates trigger conditions to determine whether to proceed to the subsequent phase that would consume additional energy for enhanced precision. This segmentation ensures that high energy consumption is incurred only when necessary to meet precision requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically controls energy consumption by linking subsequent sensing service activation to trigger conditions. When trigger conditions are not met, the system remains in the low-energy initial sensing mode. When trigger conditions are satisfied, the system dynamically transitions to the higher-energy subsequent sensing mode to achieve the required precision, thereby optimizing the balance between sensing precision and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
