Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If image acquisition is used to analyze indoor control requirements, then visual information can be obtained, but the analysis accuracy deteriorates due to environmental factors affecting image quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces UWB radar sensors as an intermediary device to detect indoor conditions. Instead of directly using image acquisition which is affected by environmental factors, the radar sensors detect object positions, movements, and physiological signals (heart rate, respiration) through electromagnetic waves, providing accurate information about indoor control requirements without being influenced by lighting or visual environmental conditions.
2Loss of information
If gas monitoring is used to determine indoor control requirements, then air quality information can be obtained, but the measurement accuracy deteriorates due to gas environment interference
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses UWB radar sensors as an intermediary to detect indoor conditions through electromagnetic wave reflection from objects and their physiological signals. This approach provides accurate information about occupancy and activity levels without being susceptible to gas environment interference, unlike direct gas monitoring methods.
3Ease of operation
If preset schedules and fixed parameters are used for HVAC operation, then system operation is simplified, but energy efficiency deteriorates due to inability to adapt to actual demands
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of HVAC system parameters based on real-time detection data from UWB radar sensors. The system continuously monitors object positions, movements, and physiological signals, and automatically adjusts temperature, humidity, and ventilation parameters according to actual occupancy and activity levels, replacing static preset schedules with adaptive dynamic control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes a feedback loop where UWB radar sensors continuously detect indoor conditions (object presence, movement, physiological signals), the system processes this information to determine actual demands, and then adjusts HVAC operational parameters accordingly. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures energy efficiency by matching system output to actual requirements.
