Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If IoT devices use short-range communication protocols, then communication reliability is improved, but communication distance is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces communication nodes as intermediary devices that relay information between IoT devices and central management systems. The first communication node receives identification information from the first IoT device, and the second communication node receives information from the first communication node, creating a multi-hop communication path that extends the effective range while maintaining reliable direct communications at each hop.
2Length of moving object
If IoT devices communicate directly over long distances, then communication distance is improved, but communication reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the communication path into multiple short-distance hops through introduction of communication nodes. Instead of one direct long-distance connection, the system divides the communication into: first IoT device to first communication node, then first communication node to second communication node. Each segment maintains high reliability while the overall path achieves long-distance coverage.
3Length of moving object
If multiple communication nodes are introduced to extend range, then communication distance is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication nodes are designed with universal functionality to handle multiple tasks: receiving identification information from IoT devices, storing correlation information, forwarding data to other communication nodes, and managing device registrations. This multi-functionality reduces the need for specialized devices and simplifies overall network architecture despite the presence of multiple nodes.
