Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the network controller is located at the foremost end of the bus, then the communication process can be managed effectively, but the node placement is limited and optical fiber wiring becomes complex in space-constrained environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontroller access position flexibilityVSAvoidoptical fiber wiring complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a network matching device as an intermediary component between the optical distribution network and the network controller. This matching device enables the network controller to access the bus at any position rather than being constrained to the foremost end, thereby simplifying optical fiber wiring in space-constrained environments while maintaining effective communication management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the optical distribution network into multiple access points by introducing network matching devices at different positions along the bus. This segmentation allows the network controller to be positioned flexibly at any node while maintaining communication integrity, resolving the contradiction between operational effectiveness and wiring complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Use of energy by moving object

If a passive optical distribution network is used, then power consumption requirements are reduced, but the bus controller access position must be at the foremost end, limiting space layout flexibility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidnode placement flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The network matching device serves as a mediator that enables flexible node placement in passive optical distribution networks. By introducing this intermediary component, the system maintains low power consumption characteristics of passive networks while gaining the adaptability to place controllers at any position along the bus rather than being constrained to the foremost end

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
