Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple antennas are used to read game medium information at multiple locations on the game table, then the precision of fraud detection is improved, but the complexity of the system increases due to antenna interference and the need for coordination between multiple reading devices
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the game table into multiple reading zones, each covered by a separate antenna or reading device. Each reading device independently monitors its designated zone, segmenting the overall detection task to reduce interference while maintaining comprehensive coverage for fraud detection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the reading order and timing of multiple antennas based on real-time game state and detected medium positions. By coordinating antenna activation sequences and adjusting reading parameters dynamically, the system minimizes interference between simultaneous readings while optimizing detection precision.
2Reliability
If real-time processing of large amounts of sensor data is implemented to detect frauds quickly, then the reliability of fraud detection is improved, but the game progress is disrupted due to the time required for data processing
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary filtering and preprocessing of sensor data as it is collected, identifying potential fraud indicators in real-time without requiring complete data processing. This preliminary action enables quick detection of obvious fraud cases while deferring more complex analysis to background processing, maintaining game flow.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a multi-level processing approach where critical fraud detection data is processed immediately with simplified algorithms, while less critical data undergoes more thorough analysis. This allows the system to rush through essential detection tasks to maintain game progress while still performing comprehensive analysis when time permits.
