Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional operation methods are used without considering specific storage areas, then the operation process is simple, but the operational efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The core network element performs preliminary actions by obtaining first information about the target terminal device and determining the second information (storage area) before sending the operation instruction. This advance preparation allows the terminal device to directly execute operations in the correct storage area without additional querying steps, thereby improving operational efficiency while maintaining process simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The core network element acts as an intermediary that bridges the operation instruction and the terminal device. It determines the appropriate storage area based on first information and includes this determination in the operation instruction sent to the terminal device, eliminating the need for the terminal device to independently determine storage areas and thus improving efficiency without significantly increasing complexity.
2Measurement precision
If the core network element sends detailed storage area information, then the terminal device can accurately perform operations, but the information transmission overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The core network element extracts only the essential second information (storage area identification) from the complete device information and includes only this extracted portion in the operation instruction. This selective extraction ensures accurate storage area identification while minimizing information transmission overhead by sending only what is necessary for the operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The core network element transforms the first information (device characteristics, operation type) into the second information (storage area identification) through determination processes. This parameter transformation converts detailed device information into a condensed storage area identifier that maintains identification accuracy while reducing transmission requirements.
