Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a relay device is installed using traditional methods with dedicated measurement devices, then proper reception situation can be checked, but installation complexity and required specialized knowledge increase
Solution Approach 1:
The relay device performs self-measurement of reception situations by automatically transmitting test signals and measuring signal strength without requiring external measurement devices. The device uses its own transmitters and receivers to assess communication quality, eliminating the need for specialized equipment during installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The relay device integrates multiple functions including data relay, self-testing, and reception measurement into a single device. By combining the relay function with measurement capabilities, the device can both perform its primary function and assess its own performance without requiring separate dedicated measurement devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication schemes are used for simultaneous transmission, then data can be relayed to multiple devices, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The relay device combines multiple communication transmitters (first transmitter for long-distance and second transmitter for short-distance) into a single integrated device that can operate simultaneously. This merging allows the device to handle multiple communication schemes without requiring separate independent systems, reducing overall complexity while maintaining versatility.
