Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If sensor information and construction data from various organizations are shared on a map, then information accessibility is improved, but data integration capability deteriorates due to inability to utilize information from different types of sensors and systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal data management platform that can handle multiple types of data (sensor data, construction data, maintenance data) from various organizations through a common interface. The system uses standardized data structures and a unified database schema that accommodates diverse data sources, enabling one system to serve multiple functions and integrate different data types effectively.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary data management layer between different organizations' systems and the final application. This intermediary platform includes data collection units, conversion units, and management units that translate and standardize data from various sources before integration, acting as a mediator that enables communication between incompatible systems.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple types of source data from different constructs are collected and mapped, then data comprehensiveness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the complex data management system into distinct functional modules: data collection units for different data sources, data conversion units for standardization, data management units for storage and processing, and application units for specific uses. This segmentation allows each module to handle specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive data capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs parameter changes by transforming diverse data from different sources into a standardized format with unified parameters and structures. The system converts various data types into common data models with consistent schemas, enabling comprehensive data collection without proportionally increasing system complexity through standardization.
