Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional fixed parameters are used for detection, then device complexity is reduced, but measurement precision deteriorates because parameters are not suitable for specific environment and situation

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedetection precisionVSAvoidparameter setting complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic parameter setting where the parameter setting unit changes detection parameters in real-time based on dynamic information from the environment and situation. This transforms the static parameter system into a dynamic one that adapts to current conditions, thereby improving measurement precision without requiring complex manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-configuration by automatically selecting and adjusting parameters based on detected environmental conditions and mobile body situation. The parameter setting unit autonomously determines optimal parameters without external intervention, reducing the burden on users while maintaining high detection precision.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic parameter setting is implemented, then adaptability to environment and situation is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional processing requirements

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveenvironmental adaptabilityVSAvoidprocessing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-stores multiple types of parameter information corresponding to different environments and situations in the storage unit. This preliminary preparation allows the parameter setting unit to quickly retrieve and apply appropriate parameters without performing complex real-time calculations, thus improving adaptability while controlling processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent systematically manages parameter changes by categorizing parameter information into different types based on environmental factors and mobile body conditions. This structured approach to parameter management enables efficient adaptation to various scenarios without overwhelming system complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes
