Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional position detection methods are used to determine whether communication terminals are located within delivery areas, then information delivery accuracy is improved, but system construction complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposition detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem construction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces identifier information as an intermediary element that simplifies position detection. Instead of directly detecting terminal positions using complex detection systems, the identifier information transmitted by transmitting apparatuses serves as a mediator that terminals can receive and use to determine their location within delivery areas, thereby reducing system construction complexity while maintaining delivery accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces complex mechanical position detection systems with a simpler information-based approach. By substituting physical detection mechanisms with identifier information transmission and processing, the system achieves position determination with reduced complexity in construction and operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If complex position detection and determination capabilities are implemented, then information delivery reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation delivery reliabilityVSAvoidsystem construction ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables communication terminals to autonomously determine their location and receive appropriate information without requiring complex external detection systems. The terminals themselves perform the determination function by processing received identifier information, which simplifies system operation while maintaining reliable information delivery

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
