Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing encoding/decoding schemes are used without polarity processing, then the device complexity is reduced, but the security and reliability of Ethernet data transmission deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity of Ethernet data transmissionVSAvoidcomplexity of encoding/decoding circuit
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The encoding function is divided into two independent parts: a polarity processing circuit that handles polarity conversion, and an encoder that performs encoding. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, improving overall reliability without excessively increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Polarity processing is performed as a preliminary step before encoding. The polarity processing circuit converts incoming data to the required polarity format in advance, ensuring that the encoder receives properly formatted data, which enhances transmission security and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If polarity processing is added to ensure preset polarity, then the transmission reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional circuit components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidnumber of circuit components
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The polarity processing circuit acts as an intermediary between the data source and the encoder. It mediates the polarity conversion process, ensuring data meets protocol requirements before encoding, thereby improving reliability with a dedicated intermediate component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The polarity processing circuit changes the polarity parameter of the Ethernet data to match protocol requirements. By systematically handling polarity as a separate parameter transformation, the system achieves higher reliability while keeping the complexity manageable through parameter standardization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If the encoder handles both encoding and polarity processing, then the device complexity is reduced, but the manufacturing precision and error rate worsen due to overburdening the encoder

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The functions are segmented into polarity processing and encoding operations performed by separate circuits. This prevents the encoder from being overburdened with dual functions, maintaining high encoding accuracy and manufacturing precision while managing complexity through functional separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
