Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the same supervision scheme is applied to different batches of gas, then the supervision process is simplified, but unreasonable allocation of supervision resources occurs and security problems cannot be found timely

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupervision scheme complexityVSAvoidgas safety supervision reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the gas supervision process by dividing gas batches into different categories based on their full-cycle stages (production, storage, transportation, distribution, sales, use). Each segment receives customized supervision schemes tailored to its specific characteristics, rather than applying a uniform supervision approach to all gas batches. This segmentation enables reasonable allocation of supervision resources and timely detection of security problems in each stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic supervision schemes that adapt to the changing stages of gas batches. As gas moves through different stages (production → storage → transportation → distribution → sales → use), the supervision parameters, frequency, and intensity are dynamically adjusted according to the current stage characteristics and risk levels, ensuring optimal resource allocation throughout the gas lifecycle.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If supervision frequency is increased for all gas batches, then security problems can be detected timely, but computing resources are wasted on low-risk batches

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity problem detection timelinessVSAvoidcomputing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating supervision intensity based on the specific characteristics of each gas batch and its current stage. High-risk batches or those in critical stages (such as transportation or storage) receive increased supervision frequency and more rigorous monitoring, while low-risk batches in stable stages receive reduced supervision. This localized approach ensures timely detection of security problems where needed while conserving computing resources in low-risk areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically changes supervision parameters (frequency, intensity, monitoring depth) based on risk assessment results and gas batch characteristics. The system adjusts these parameters in real-time according to factors such as gas type, storage conditions, transportation routes, and historical safety data, optimizing the balance between detection timeliness and resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If customized supervision schemes are applied to different gas batches, then resource allocation is optimized, but the supervision system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupervision resource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidsupervision system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent manages system complexity through structured segmentation of gas batches into standardized categories based on their full-cycle stages. Each segment has predefined supervision protocols and parameters, which simplifies the overall system architecture despite the customization. The segmentation framework provides a clear organizational structure that makes the complex customized supervision manageable and scalable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a universal platform that can handle multiple gas batches with different supervision requirements through a common architecture. The system uses standardized data interfaces, unified risk assessment models, and modular supervision modules that can be configured for different gas types and stages, reducing overall system complexity while enabling customized supervision schemes.

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