Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for analyzing Code Domain Power (CDP) and Code Domain Error Power (CDEP) do not allow for a direct comparison or simultaneous display of these values, making it difficult to assess the error-to-power ratio in code channels.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that receive and evaluate signals to determine CDP and CDEP, allowing for their simultaneous display using adjustable scales and colors, enabling a clear comparison and visualization of the relationship between CDP and CDEP in a diagram format.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If only CDP is displayed in a diagram, then the power of code channels can be visualized, but CDEP cannot be displayed and comparison between CDP and CDEP is not possible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation about CDEPVSAvoiddisplay structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends the display from a single dimension (CDP only) to multiple dimensions by adding CDEP representation. This is achieved by using different visual dimensions such as bar height for CDP and bar color/intensity for CDEP, or by adding a second vertical axis, thereby preserving complete information while maintaining visual clarity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the display representation into distinct visual elements for CDP and CDEP. Each parameter is represented by separate visual components (e.g., different bar types, colors, or layers) that can be independently controlled and adjusted, allowing both parameters to be displayed without confusion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If CDP and CDEP are displayed using the same scale, then the display is simple, but the values cannot be properly compared when they differ significantly in magnitude

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomparison accuracyVSAvoiddisplay configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic scaling where the display scale for CDEP can be independently adjusted from CDP. This allows the system to adapt to different measurement ranges by applying appropriate scaling factors to each parameter, ensuring that both small and large values can be meaningfully compared on the same visual interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different display qualities (scales, color intensities, or visual weights) to different parts of the display corresponding to CDP and CDEP. This allows each parameter to be optimized for its specific range while maintaining the ability to compare them visually, with local scaling adjustments applied to specific regions of the diagram.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
