Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing data sharing technology is used to share wireless Internet service, then data capacity can be shared between donor and user terminals, but multiple unspecified user terminals cannot access the shared data capacity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of user terminals that can access shared data capacityVSAvoidcomplexity of data sharing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A server is introduced as an intermediary component between donor terminals and user terminals. The server receives data capacity information from donor terminals, manages the shared data pool, and distributes data to multiple user terminals. This intermediary architecture enables multiple unspecified users to access shared data capacity while centralizing management functions to control system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If data capacity is shared with multiple unspecified user terminals, then data utilization efficiency increases, but fair compensation for data usage becomes difficult to implement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata utilization efficiencyVSAvoidtracking information for fair compensation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the server continuously monitors data usage by each user terminal, tracks consumption amounts, and provides real-time information about data usage patterns. This feedback loop enables the system to maintain accurate records of data consumption by multiple users, which is essential for implementing fair compensation mechanisms while maintaining high data utilization efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates digital copies of data capacity information and usage records that can be replicated and distributed across the network without depleting the original data capacity. These digital copies of usage data enable multiple users to access information about data consumption for compensation purposes without requiring physical duplication of the actual data capacity being shared.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If a server is introduced to manage shared data capacity for multiple users, then system functionality improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sharing functionalityVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server is designed as a multi-functional platform that simultaneously performs data capacity reception from donors, data distribution to multiple users, usage tracking, compensation calculation, and information management. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single universal system, the patent achieves high adaptability and versatility while avoiding the need for multiple separate complex systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
