Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a physical interruption of the filiform conductor is used to stop data communication, then the data communication is effectively stopped, but the system integrity is compromised and structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical physical interruption of filiform conductors with an electromagnetic field-based data interruption device. The device uses electromagnetic signals to interrupt data communication on the bus without physically cutting or damaging any conductors, thereby eliminating the need for mechanical intervention while achieving effective communication blocking.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary electromagnetic data interruption device that is coupled to the bus system without requiring physical disconnection. This intermediary device mediates the interruption of data communication by emitting electromagnetic interference or signals that block communication protocols, allowing the physical infrastructure to remain intact while achieving the desired communication stoppage.
2Reliability
If physical interruption methods are used to block data communication, then communication is stopped, but system integrity and originality are not safeguarded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical physical interruption methods with an electromagnetic field-based approach. The data interruption device uses electromagnetic signals to block communication without physically altering or damaging the bus conductors, thereby maintaining system integrity and originality while achieving effective communication interruption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the potentially harmful effect of electromagnetic interference into a beneficial tool for data interruption. By generating controlled electromagnetic signals or interference patterns, the device blocks data communication on the bus while leaving the physical infrastructure intact and undamaged, thus protecting system integrity.
3Reliability
If traditional switches are used to interrupt data communication, then communication is blocked, but remote control capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service functionality through the data interruption device that can autonomously monitor bus communication and automatically activate or deactivate its interruption function based on detected conditions. The device includes microcontrollers and sensors that enable it to self-manage its operation without requiring manual physical intervention, thereby providing remote controllability and automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the data interruption device continuously monitors the bus communication status and system conditions. Based on this feedback, the device can automatically adjust its operation, activate interruption when theft or unauthorized access is detected, and deactivate when normal conditions are restored, enabling remote control through automated decision-making based on real-time feedback.
4Reliability
If fixed-position interruption devices are used, then data communication is blocked, but positioning flexibility within the means of locomotion is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs a universal data interruption device that can be installed at multiple positions within the means of locomotion and effectively interrupt data communication regardless of its specific location on the bus. The device is configured to couple with the bus at various points and generate electromagnetic interference that propagates along the communication lines, providing effective interruption from any installation position and thereby achieving positioning flexibility.
