Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data is transmitted to multiple electronic devices through repeated operations, then data can be shared with all target devices, but resources are wasted due to repetitive selection and transmission operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring action information and authentication information before actual data transmission. The electronic device prepares authentication data in advance based on device identifiers and transmission conditions, so that when multiple devices need to receive data, the authentication framework is already established, eliminating the need for repetitive authentication operations for each device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by creating a universal authentication mechanism that can serve multiple external devices simultaneously. The authentication data generated from device identifiers and action information can be applied to multiple transmission operations, making the authentication system multi-functional rather than requiring separate authentication processes for each device.
2Reliability
If authentication operations are performed repeatedly for each external device, then secure data transmission is ensured, but transmission efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs authentication preparation in advance by configuring action information and authentication information before actual data transmission. The processor generates authentication data based on device identifiers and transmission conditions in advance, so that when multiple devices are involved, the authentication framework is already established, eliminating the need for repetitive authentication operations for each device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by generating authentication data that can be replicated and applied to multiple transmission operations. Instead of performing complete authentication sequences repeatedly, the system creates authentication credentials that can be copied and used across multiple device interactions, maintaining security while reducing operational overhead.
3Measurement precision
If the electronic device identifies and authenticates each external device individually, then accurate device selection is achieved, but the number of operations increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by acquiring device identifiers and configuring authentication information before actual data transmission begins. The processor prepares authentication data based on device identifiers and transmission conditions in advance, so that when multiple devices need to receive data, the identification and authentication framework is already established, eliminating the need for time-consuming repetitive operations for each device.
