Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the display range is sectioned with a constant size partition, then the device complexity is reduced, but the measurement precision and adaptability deteriorate because it is difficult to balance between obtaining local electromagnetic environment information and grasping the overall situation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepartition configuration complexityVSAvoidmeasurement value definition
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The partition configuration is changed from static constant size to dynamic variable size. The resetting judgment unit dynamically determines whether to reset partitions based on measurement progress, and the partition setting unit adjusts partition sizes from first partitions to smaller second partitions accordingly. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain appropriate measurement precision while managing complexity through automated control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The partition size parameter is changed from constant to variable. By resetting partitions from first partitions to second partitions with different sizes based on measurement situations, the system optimizes the balance between local detail resolution and overall situation grasp, thereby improving measurement precision without requiring complex manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If the size of partitions is decreased to improve display definition, then the measurement precision is improved, but the productivity deteriorates because it takes more time and effort to grasp the overall situation and increases data amount

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay definitionVSAvoidmeasurement efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The partition resetting is performed periodically or at specific measurement stages rather than continuously. The resetting judgment unit determines appropriate timing for partition resets based on measurement progress, allowing the system to switch between first partitions and smaller second partitions at optimal intervals. This periodic adjustment maintains high display definition while preventing excessive data accumulation and maintaining measurement efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Productivity

If the size of partitions is increased to improve productivity, then the measurement efficiency is improved, but the measurement precision deteriorates because the definition of display decreases and local electromagnetic environment information is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement efficiencyVSAvoiddisplay definition
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The display range is segmented into multiple partitions that can be independently configured. By dividing the display range into first partitions and further into smaller second partitions, the system achieves both efficient overall situation grasp (through coarse first partitions) and detailed local information (through fine second partitions), thereby maintaining measurement precision without sacrificing productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Device complexity

If constant size partitions are used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability deteriorates because suitable partition configuration cannot be changed according to measurement situations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepartition configurationVSAvoidmeasurement situation adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The partition configuration transitions from static to dynamic. The resetting judgment unit and partition setting unit work together to automatically adapt partition sizes to different measurement situations. This dynamic system maintains low user-side complexity while achieving high adaptability, as the system autonomously adjusts from first partitions to second partitions based on real-time measurement needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

In an electromagnetic environment analysis system, an image creation unit creates an image for displaying information relevant to a measurement value in a position associated with a measurement position of each of the measurement values. A partition judgment unit judges a partition corresponding to the measurement position of each of the measurement values in a plurality of partitions forming a display range of the information relevant to the measurement value in the image, based on position information. A display information determination unit determines information relevant to the display of the partition, based on the measurement value corresponding to the partition. In a case where two or more measurement values measured at timings different from each other correspond to one partition, the display information determination unit calculates a representative value from the two or more measurement values, and determines information to be displayed in the partition, based on the representative value.
