Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the communication network with the highest signal strength is selected for data transmission, then the signal quality is improved, but the communication network becomes overloaded and crashes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic network selection by calculating cost values that change based on real-time network conditions and service requirements. Instead of statically selecting the network with highest signal strength, the system continuously evaluates multiple networks and dynamically adjusts selection based on current load conditions, service priorities, and cost calculations, preventing overload while maintaining signal quality
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the selection parameter from simple signal strength to a comprehensive cost value that incorporates network load, service requirements, and transmission conditions. By transforming the selection criterion into a multi-parameter cost function, the system avoids overloading networks while maintaining reliable transmission through optimized parameter balancing
2Device complexity
If multiple communication services are transmitted through a single network, then the device complexity is reduced, but the network becomes overloaded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments communication services into different groups based on their cost values and network requirements. By calculating individual cost values for each service on each network and selectively routing services through different networks, the system distributes load effectively while maintaining manageable complexity through automated cost-based classification
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different transmission strategies to different services based on their specific requirements and cost calculations. Each service is evaluated individually and assigned to the most appropriate network, creating localized optimization for each service while maintaining overall system efficiency through automated decision-making
3Stability of the object's composition
If the communication network with the highest signal strength is selected, then the connection stability is improved, but the data transmission performance is reduced due to network overload
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic network selection that continuously monitors both signal strength and network load conditions. The system adjusts network selection in real-time based on changing conditions, maintaining stable connections by selecting networks with adequate signal while preventing overload through cost-based evaluation, thus preserving both stability and transmission performance
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms by calculating cost values based on current network conditions and service requirements. The system uses this feedback to adjust network selection decisions, ensuring that connections remain stable while transmission performance is optimized by avoiding overloaded networks through continuous condition monitoring
