Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing data acquisition methods are used to connect enterprise systems with equipment from different manufacturers, then data can be collected from diverse equipment, but docking time becomes long and development cycle extends

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with diverse equipmentVSAvoiddocking time and development cycle
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal data acquisition protocol that enables the enterprise system to communicate with equipment from different manufacturers through a standardized interface. The protocol defines common data formats, transmission rules, and interaction mechanisms that work across multiple device types, eliminating the need for manufacturer-specific integration development and significantly reducing docking time while maintaining broad equipment compatibility.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing data acquisition methods are used with diverse equipment formats, then various equipment can be integrated, but data becomes scattered and packet loss occurs during transmission

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration of diverse equipment formatsVSAvoiddata transmission stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent standardizes data formats across all equipment types by defining uniform data structures, encoding schemes, and transmission protocols. All equipment converts its native data formats into the standardized protocol format before transmission to the enterprise system, ensuring homogeneous data representation that eliminates scattering and packet loss while maintaining the ability to integrate diverse equipment formats.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity

3Productivity

If existing data acquisition methods are used, then equipment can transmit operation parameters to the enterprise server system, but high-level coupling and repeated development occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission capabilityVSAvoidsystem coupling and development complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data acquisition system into independent modular components: a standardized protocol layer, equipment-specific adaptation layers, and the enterprise server system. Each component operates independently with well-defined interfaces, eliminating high-level coupling. The modular architecture allows repeated use of the same protocol and server system across multiple equipment integrations, eliminating repeated development while maintaining full data transmission capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
