Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If repeaters are installed to expand communication range in shadow areas, then communication coverage is improved, but communication quality deteriorates due to various noise sources and interference factors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication coverage areaVSAvoidcommunication quality
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary identification of communication interference factors and estimation of communication elements that will fail before actual communication failures occur. By analyzing process information and work schedules, the system proactively determines which communication elements are at risk and prepares response strategies in advance, preventing the contradiction from manifesting fully.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts communication settings and response strategies based on real-time process information and work schedules. Rather than static configuration, the system continuously adapts to changing construction site conditions, modifying communication parameters to maintain quality while expanding coverage as needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If communication network is constructed to accommodate various construction processes, then adaptability is improved, but stability deteriorates due to changing communication range and characteristics

Engineering Contradiction:
