Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices require complex structures and increased costs due to the need for multiple components to monitor and diagnose malfunctions, which complicates the detection of abnormalities and increases expenses.
Innovation Solution
A diagnostic robot that communicates with electronic devices to identify components for fault diagnosis, transmits diagnosis information, and compares first and second diagnostic data to determine abnormalities, allowing for efficient fault detection without additional diagnostic structures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If electronic devices include multiple components to monitor and diagnose malfunctions, then diagnostic capability is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a diagnostic robot as an intermediary device that performs fault diagnosis on electronic devices. The robot includes a diagnosis unit with sensors and processors that externally monitor and diagnose malfunctions, eliminating the need for electronic devices to include complex internal diagnostic components. This resolves the contradiction by transferring diagnostic functionality from the electronic device to an external diagnostic robot.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the diagnostic function from the electronic device itself and places it in a separate diagnostic robot. By taking out the diagnostic capability from the main device, the electronic device's structure is simplified while diagnostic capability is preserved in the external robot, directly resolving the contradiction between diagnostic capability and device complexity.
2Reliability
If electronic devices include multiple components to monitor and diagnose malfunctions, then diagnostic capability is improved, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The diagnostic robot serves as an intermediary that provides diagnostic capabilities without requiring expensive internal diagnostic components in each electronic device. The robot's diagnosis unit externally monitors multiple devices, reducing per-device manufacturing costs while maintaining diagnostic capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The diagnostic robot is designed as a universal device that can diagnose multiple different electronic devices. By creating a single multi-functional diagnostic robot rather than embedding diagnostic components in each device, manufacturing costs are reduced while diagnostic capability is maintained across various device types.
3Measurement precision
If a diagnostic robot performs fault diagnosis by comparing data from multiple sources, then diagnostic accuracy is improved, but data processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the diagnosis unit pre-establish diagnosis ranges and pre-position sensors before actual fault detection occurs. The robot pre-maps the electronic device's structure and identifies critical monitoring points in advance, so that during actual operation, data collection and processing are faster while maintaining comprehensive diagnostic accuracy.

AI summary
Provided is a diagnostic robot including: a communication interface; and at least one processor configured to: control the communication interface to search for at least one candidate electronic device, select a target electronic device from among the at least one candidate electronic device, and identify a component of the target electronic device on which to perform a fault diagnosis, control the communication interface to transmit information associated with a diagnosis range to the target electronic device, obtain first diagnostic data by performing a first fault diagnosis on a component of the diagnostic robot, control the communication interface to receive, from the target electronic device, second diagnostic data generated from a second fault diagnosis performed on the component of the target electronic device while the target electronic device is positioned at a diagnosis area within the diagnosis range, and identify whether there is an abnormality in the component of the target electronic device based on the first diagnostic data and the second diagnostic data.
