Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional communication networks in climate control systems lack the necessary technical capabilities to adequately detect, relay, and store system data, leading to inefficiencies in operating these systems, such as outdoor AC units being unable to timely communicate with indoor furnaces and thermostats.
Innovation Solution
A decision intelligence (DI)-based computerized framework provides a centralized hub for remote access and control of climate systems through a mobile application or web interface, enabling dynamic monitoring and control, with a reliable and secure wireless communication platform for improved energy efficiency and comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional communication networks are used in climate control systems, then system simplicity is maintained, but data communication reliability and throughput are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The communication network is segmented into multiple protocol layers (physical layer, data link layer, network layer, application layer), with each layer handling specific communication tasks. This segmentation allows the system to achieve reliable data transmission through specialized protocols at each layer while maintaining overall system manageability.
Solution Approach 2:
Communication protocols act as intermediaries between different climate control devices, enabling reliable data exchange without requiring direct device-to-device complexity. The protocols mediate data transmission, handling error correction, acknowledgment, and retransmission automatically.
2Productivity
If data is transmitted frequently between climate control devices, then real-time monitoring capability is improved, but network bandwidth consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic data transmission with configurable intervals, allowing devices to send status updates at regular intervals rather than continuously. This periodic action maintains real-time monitoring capability while significantly reducing network bandwidth consumption compared to continuous transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication protocol includes dynamic parameter adjustment capabilities, where transmission frequency, data packet size, and polling intervals can be modified based on system conditions, device priority, and network load, optimizing the balance between monitoring responsiveness and bandwidth usage.
