Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a communication module with both long-distance and short-distance communication capabilities is installed on each hub, then advertising interconnection efficiency is improved, but device complexity and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertising interconnection efficiencyVSAvoidcommunication module complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The communication module is segmented into two distinct communication units: a long-distance communication unit for communicating with the server, and a short-distance communication unit for communicating with other hubs. This segmentation allows each unit to be optimized for its specific communication range and protocol, improving overall interconnection efficiency while managing complexity through functional separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The hub is designed with multi-functional communication capabilities, where a single hub can perform both long-distance communication with the server and short-distance communication with neighboring hubs. This multi-functionality enables the hub to participate in both centralized server communication and decentralized peer-to-peer advertising, enhancing overall system productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If dual communication modules (long-distance and short-distance) are installed on each hub, then data exchange capability is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata exchange capabilityVSAvoidhub energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The communication module dynamically switches between long-distance and short-distance communication modes based on the specific task requirements. When advertising data needs to be propagated across the network, short-distance communication is used for efficient local exchange. When server interaction is needed, long-distance communication is activated. This dynamic operation optimizes energy consumption by using the most efficient communication mode for each situation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The hub employs periodic communication cycles, alternating between listening for server instructions via long-distance communication and exchanging advertising data with neighboring hubs via short-distance communication. This periodic action pattern ensures that energy-intensive long-distance communication is used only when necessary, while energy-efficient short-distance communication handles routine data exchange.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Ease of operation

If hierarchical control structure with host and slave hubs is implemented, then system manageability is improved, but control complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem manageabilityVSAvoidcontrol structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The hub network is segmented into hierarchical levels with one host hub and multiple slave hubs. The host hub is responsible for receiving server instructions and distributing them to slave hubs, while slave hubs execute local advertising functions. This segmentation of control responsibilities simplifies system manageability by creating clear roles and reducing the communication overhead required for coordinating multiple hubs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Use of energy by moving object

If the host hub coordinates all communication with the server, then energy consumption is reduced, but communication efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoverall system energy consumptionVSAvoidcommunication efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Communication functions are segmented between the host hub and slave hubs. The host hub handles all server communications, reducing the number of active long-distance communication modules in the system and thereby reducing overall energy consumption. Meanwhile, slave hubs efficiently handle local advertising data exchange through short-distance communication, maintaining high communication efficiency for advertising purposes without requiring server involvement in every transaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
