Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a local controller with telephone line or GSM modem is used for transmitting intrusion messages, then the security system can alert the central backend, but the communication channel may be compromised or jammed by intruders

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidvulnerability to jamming and compromise

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an IoT network as an intermediary communication channel between the security device and the backend server. Instead of directly using vulnerable telephone lines or GSM modems, the system transmits data through IoT devices and networks, which provide alternative routing and enhanced security against traditional jamming methods.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If a local controller and associated equipment are installed and programmed at the user station, then the security system can function at the station, but the installation process requires skilled technicians and becomes expensive

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem functionalityVSAvoidinstallation complexity and cost

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The security device is designed to be self-configuring and automatically registers with the backend server through the IoT network. The device performs its own installation and setup without requiring skilled technicians, thereby reducing installation complexity and cost while maintaining system functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If traditional security systems with local controllers are deployed, then security monitoring is provided, but the systems are inconvenient and expensive for certain applications

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesecurity monitoring capabilityVSAvoidconvenience and cost-effectiveness

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The security device leverages the existing IoT infrastructure and common devices already present in most households and businesses. By utilizing universally available IoT networks and devices, the system becomes applicable to a broader range of scenarios without requiring specialized equipment, thereby improving convenience and cost-effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
