Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user manually selects operation parameters for the electrical device, then the device can be operated, but the selection process is cumbersome and the user experience is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic parameter selection by having the electrical device autonomously acquire information from electronic tags and determine operation parameters without user intervention. The control unit automatically processes tag information and selects appropriate parameters, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual user configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
Operation parameters are predetermined and stored in the electronic tags attached to objects. Before the user needs to operate the device, the appropriate parameters have already been prepared and encoded in the tags, enabling rapid automatic retrieval and application when the device scans the tags.
2Reliability
If the user manually determines operation parameters, then flexibility is maintained, but incorrect parameters may be selected leading to poor performance
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes a feedback loop where the control unit acquires information from electronic tags, determines operation parameters based on this information, executes the parameters, and can re-acquire information to adjust parameters as needed. This continuous feedback mechanism ensures parameters remain accurate and appropriate for the current operating conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical parameter selection with an automated information processing system. The control unit uses electronic tag data and predetermined rules to automatically determine parameters, substituting human judgment with a systematic automated decision-making process that reduces errors while maintaining simplicity.
3Extent of automation
If automatic parameter selection is implemented using electronic tags, then user operation is simplified, but additional components are required
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit performs multiple functions: it controls the emitter to send excitation signals, receives and processes information from electronic tags, determines operation parameters based on tag data, and executes the determined parameters. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single multi-functional component, the system achieves high automation without proportionally increasing overall complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
Electronic tags serve as intermediaries that carry operation parameter information between the object and the electrical device. Instead of requiring complex direct communication systems between the device and objects, the tags act as simple information carriers that bridge the gap, enabling automatic parameter selection while keeping the overall system structure relatively simple.
4Loss of information
If data is processed through multiple components (emitter, control unit, edge computing device), then processing capability is enhanced, but data transmission time increases
Solution Approach 1:
Operation parameters are predetermined and pre-stored in the electronic tags before being needed. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for complex real-time calculations and data processing during operation, allowing the control unit to simply retrieve and apply pre-computed parameters, thereby reducing data transmission and processing time while maintaining complete processing capability.

AI summary
Provided are an information processing method and system, an electrical device, and an edge computing device. The method includes receiving at least one of preset information sent by an edge computing device or operation parameter information of the electrical device sent by the edge computing device; and controlling operation of the electrical device according to the at least one of the preset information or the operation parameter information. The preset information is preset information broadcast by an electronic tag on a preset object within the preset range of the electrical device. After the electronic tag broadcasts the preset information, the preset information is received by a base station and sent to the edge computing device by the base station. The operation parameter information is determined according to the preset information.
