Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a traditional three-layer IoT architecture is used, then the system structure is simple and easy to implement, but the information circulation paths are limited and monotonous

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation circulation pathsVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the traditional three-layer architecture into multiple independent platforms (object platform, sensing network platform, operator management platform, service platform) with distinct functions. Each platform handles specific information circulation tasks, enabling diverse information paths while maintaining manageable complexity through functional separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimensional perspective by adding operator management and service layers above the traditional perception-transmission-application layers. This dimensional expansion creates multiple information circulation paths including direct object-to-object communication, sensor-to-cloud pathways, and operator-mediated control channels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If information circulation paths are expanded to improve versatility, then information management becomes more effective, but security risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation securityVSAvoidinformation circulation paths
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The operator management platform and service platform act as intermediary layers that mediate between perception and control information systems. These intermediaries provide authentication, authorization, and security management functions, enabling expanded information circulation paths while maintaining security through centralized control and verification mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

By segmenting information circulation into distinct pathways (perception information system, control information system, sensing network platform), the patent isolates security risks to specific segments. Each segment can be secured independently, and the modular architecture allows security protocols to be applied at each level without compromising overall system versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If multiple platforms and communication protocols are introduced, then information circulation clarity is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation circulation clarityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs communication protocols with multi-functionality, where a single protocol framework supports multiple communication scenarios across different platforms. The standardized interfaces and unified messaging mechanisms enable clear information circulation while reducing the need for multiple specialized protocols, thus managing complexity through universal design.

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

4Productivity

If perception and control information are managed separately, then information circulation is more effective, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation management efficiencyVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments information management into dedicated perception information system and control information system, each with specialized processing logic and circulation pathways. This segmentation enables efficient specialized handling of information types while the modular architecture allows the systems to operate independently yet cooperate through standardized interfaces, managing overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
