Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If audio data and ranging signals are transmitted in separate packets, then transmission reliability is improved, but power consumption and communication overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines audio data and ranging signals into a single packet transmission, allowing both types of data to be sent simultaneously without requiring separate transmission cycles. This merging approach reduces the total number of packets transmitted, thereby lowering power consumption and communication overhead while maintaining transmission reliability through proper packet structuring and error handling mechanisms.
2Loss of information
If separate packet transmission is used for audio and ranging, then data integrity is maintained, but latency increases
Solution Approach 1:
By merging audio data and ranging signals into a single packet, the system eliminates the sequential transmission delays that would occur if sent separately. The packet structure is designed to accommodate both data types while maintaining integrity through proper error checking and validation mechanisms, thus reducing overall latency without compromising data integrity.
3Manufacturing precision
If frequent packet transmissions are performed, then audio quality is maintained, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the system to transmit audio data and ranging signals together in fewer, more efficient packets. This merging approach reduces the frequency of separate transmission cycles, thereby lowering power consumption while maintaining audio quality through proper packet structuring and error handling that ensures data integrity even with reduced transmission frequency.
