Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If sensing data is collected from third-party AF entities and processed in the core network, then the processing capacity for sensing data is enhanced, but the device complexity and network architecture complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing capacity for sensing dataVSAvoidnetwork architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the sensing data processing system into distinct functional modules: a sensing data collection module that gathers data from third-party AF entities, a task distribution module that allocates computing tasks to computing power nodes, and a result aggregation module that collects processing results. This segmentation allows each module to perform its function independently, enhancing processing capacity while managing complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a core network device as an intermediary between third-party AF entities and computing power nodes. This intermediary manages the collection of sensing data, formulates computing tasks, distributes them to appropriate computing nodes, and aggregates results. The intermediary abstracts the complexity from both data sources and computing nodes, enabling scalable processing capacity without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If computing tasks are distributed to multiple computing power nodes, then the processing efficiency is improved, but the coordination and management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidtask coordination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic task distribution where the core network device adapts computing task allocation based on real-time conditions of computing power nodes. The system can dynamically select which nodes receive tasks, adjust task parameters, and rebalance workloads as nodes become available or unavailable. This dynamic approach improves processing efficiency by utilizing available resources effectively while the centralized coordination logic manages complexity by making decisions based on current system state rather than requiring complex pre-coordination between all nodes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
