Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If image recognition technology is used to determine object presence, then the system can track objects in storage space, but misjudgment occurs when objects are moved within the storage space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines infrared sensing data and weight sensing data to determine object presence and movement. The processor integrates multiple sensor inputs (infrared sensors detecting thermal signatures and weight sensors measuring mass changes) to accurately distinguish between object movement within storage space and object removal, thereby resolving the misjudgment problem of conventional image-only systems.
2Measurement precision
If multiple sensors are combined to improve detection accuracy, then measurement precision increases, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The processor in the patent performs multiple functions: it processes infrared sensing data, weight sensing data, determines object presence, identifies object movement versus removal, and generates event records. This multi-functional approach consolidates the complexity into a single processing unit that handles all sensor inputs and decision-making, rather than requiring separate dedicated systems for each function.
