Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If transmission parameters are determined based on previous network conditions, then the system maintains simplicity in parameter determination, but the transmission success rate decreases due to outdated parameters not reflecting current location and network conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission success rateVSAvoidparameter update delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic transmission parameters that automatically adjust based on real-time location and network conditions. The system transitions from static, pre-determined parameters to dynamic parameters that are continuously updated according to the mobile terminal's current environment, including signal strength, network type, and location-based historical performance data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by collecting actual transmission results and network condition data, then using this information to update transmission parameters for future operations. The feedback loop includes monitoring transmission success/failure, analyzing network conditions at different locations, and adjusting parameters accordingly to improve overall transmission reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If transmission parameters are updated in real-time based on current location and network conditions, then the transmission success rate improves, but the system complexity increases due to additional location acquisition and parameter determination processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission success rateVSAvoidparameter determination system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal transmission parameter determination system that handles multiple functions: location acquisition, network condition assessment, historical data retrieval, and parameter optimization. This multi-functional system serves as a centralized control mechanism that can be applied across different mobile terminals and network environments, reducing overall system complexity through standardization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary component that acts as a bridge between the mobile terminal and the server, specifically a parameter determination module that processes location and network condition information. This intermediary handles the complex calculations and decisions, simplifying the interface between the terminal and server while maintaining optimized transmission parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If location information is acquired and used to determine transmission parameters, then the adaptability to different network conditions improves, but the data processing overhead increases due to additional information handling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork condition adaptabilityVSAvoiddata processing energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements location-specific transmission parameters by dividing the service area into different location zones, each with optimized parameters based on local network conditions. Instead of processing all possible parameters for all locations, the system retrieves and applies pre-optimized parameters specific to the terminal's current location, reducing processing overhead while maintaining high adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis and optimization of transmission parameters for different locations in advance. Historical network condition data is collected and analyzed beforehand to pre-determine optimal parameters for various locations and network conditions. When the terminal moves to a new location, it quickly retrieves pre-computed parameters rather than performing complex real-time analysis, reducing energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
