Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If IoT devices use asynchronous communication links with precise time protocols, then interference-free operation is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a shared object management center as an intermediary that coordinates communication between IoT devices. This center manages time synchronization and resource allocation, preventing interference without requiring complex peer-to-peer negotiation protocols between devices. The intermediary handles the complexity centrally while keeping individual device implementations simpler.
Solution Approach 2:
Each IoT device is equipped with precise time protocols and asynchronous communication capabilities that allow it to autonomously determine when to transmit data without causing interference. Devices self-manage their communication timing based on shared time references, eliminating the need for complex centralized scheduling while maintaining interference-free operation.
2Quantity of substance
If the OCS manages large numbers of IoT connections, then smart environment coverage is improved, but network management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network management function into distributed components. Each IoT device operates autonomously with built-in time synchronization capabilities, and data is organized by shared objects rather than device-centric management. This segmentation allows the system to scale to large numbers of devices without proportionally increasing central management complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The shared object management center provides universal services to all IoT devices including time synchronization, data routing, and coordination. This multi-functional approach consolidates management tasks into a single system that handles diverse device types and communication patterns through unified protocols, reducing overall network management complexity despite large device quantities.
3Reliability
If precise time protocols are implemented for scheduling activities, then collision prevention is improved, but measurement precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements time synchronization protocols where devices exchange timing information and adjust their clocks based on feedback from the shared object management center. This feedback mechanism allows devices to achieve sufficient time precision for collision prevention without requiring extremely high measurement precision, as continuous adjustment compensates for drift and errors.
Solution Approach 2:
Devices perform preliminary time synchronization before engaging in data transmission activities. The shared object management center pre-coordinates time slots and transmission windows, allowing devices to prepare their communication schedules in advance. This preliminary action ensures collision prevention is achieved through advance planning rather than requiring ultra-precise real-time measurement during actual transmission.

AI summary
The rise of the connected objects known as the “Internet of Things” (IoT) will rival past technological marvels. This application discloses an object control system (OCS) to control movement of an object in a smart environment. The object control system uses a virtualized shared database and a shared object management center to control the navigation and protection of moving and flying objects through an IoT network utilizing IoT devices. It also uses time of day to schedule activities of the moving, flying, stationary and fixed objects in the smart environment to allow all objects within object control system operate freely with no interference and collision.
