Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If physical terminals are used for digital twin tasks, then task execution flexibility is improved, but authorization management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask execution flexibilityVSAvoidauthorization management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a network element as an intermediary that manages authorization information for digital twin tasks. This intermediary collects, stores, and provides authorization information to relevant entities, thereby reducing the complexity of direct authorization management between multiple terminals and the network while enabling flexible task execution across physical and virtual terminals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If authorization information is collected and managed, then task authorization reliability is improved, but information processing overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask authorization reliabilityVSAvoidinformation processing overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary collection and management of authorization information before digital twin tasks are executed. The network element proactively gathers authorization information from terminals and stores it in advance, so that when tasks need to be authorized, the information is already available. This preliminary action reduces the need for real-time information processing and querying during task execution, thereby reducing information processing overhead while maintaining high authorization reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If subscription information and authorization information are obtained and processed, then task authorization accuracy is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask authorization accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the network element provides query result information back to terminals and other network entities regarding authorization status. This feedback loop allows entities to quickly determine whether a terminal is authorized for a digital twin task without extensive re-processing of authorization information. The pre-processed authorization information combined with efficient feedback mechanisms reduces processing time while maintaining high authorization accuracy through comprehensive subscription and authorization information management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
