Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional simulation models are deployed locally to accurately compare new control systems, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity and cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates simplified visual simulation models that replicate the essential operational characteristics of control systems without requiring complex mathematical formulations. These visual models use graphical representations and intuitive interfaces to demonstrate system behavior, allowing accurate comparisons between new and existing control systems while maintaining low computational complexity and ease of deployment.
2Measurement precision
If conventional simulation models are deployed locally to provide accurate simulation results, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of energy increases due to resource consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces computationally intensive conventional simulation models with simplified visual simulation models that consume minimal energy. These visual models use graphical processing and basic computational operations rather than complex mathematical calculations, dramatically reducing energy consumption while maintaining sufficient accuracy for control system comparisons and consumer decision-making.
3Measurement precision
If conventional simulation models are used to analyze control systems, then measurement precision is improved, but they become obsolete when system changes are made
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates dynamic visual simulation models that automatically adapt to system changes through intuitive interfaces and real-time configuration capabilities. These models can be easily updated to reflect changes in control system architecture, components, or operational parameters without requiring complex model reconfiguration or recalculation, maintaining accuracy and relevance throughout the system lifecycle.
4Device complexity
If cloud computing is used to generate simulation models, then device complexity is reduced, but loss of time increases due to network dependency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates simplified visual simulation models that can be executed locally without requiring cloud computing resources. These models use basic computational operations and graphical processing that run efficiently on standard consumer hardware, eliminating network dependency and reducing simulation time while maintaining low device complexity and ease of deployment.
