Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual configuration techniques are used to coordinate output components, then users can control individual devices, but real-time coordination and dynamic adjustment across multiple devices cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a centralized coordination system that acts as an intermediary between multiple output components. This coordinator receives trajectory requests, determines appropriate policies, and generates coordinated output trajectories for multiple devices, enabling real-time coordination without requiring complex peer-to-peer communication between devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The coordination system implements a universal policy framework that can handle multiple types of output components (speakers, lights, motors, etc.) through a common interface. The system determines whether to apply individual policies or coordinated policies based on the situation, providing multi-functional capability across diverse device types.
2Reliability
If individual output components are controlled independently, then each device can operate autonomously, but synchronized output across multiple devices cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the coordination component receives status information from output components and adjusts trajectories accordingly. This feedback loop ensures that synchronized output is maintained while allowing for dynamic adjustments based on actual device states and environmental conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The coordination system performs preliminary determination of policies and generates coordinated trajectories before executing output actions. By pre-planning the coordination strategy and computing synchronized trajectories in advance, the system ensures reliable synchronization while improving control efficiency through batch processing.
3Adaptability or versatility
If complex coordination policies are implemented for multiple output components, then real-time feedback and dynamic adjustment can be achieved, but the control system becomes more complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the control system into distinct functional modules: a policy determination component that selects appropriate policies, a trajectory generation component that computes coordinated trajectories, and individual device controllers that execute specific actions. This segmentation manages complexity by distributing functions across modular components with well-defined interfaces.
