Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional measurement tools and manual positioning methods are used, then construction can be performed according to drawings, but the process becomes time-consuming, work-intensive, and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical measurement tools with laser ranging technology. The ranging device emits laser beams to automatically measure distances and generate 3D spatial data of the construction site, eliminating manual positioning and measurement operations. This substitution dramatically reduces construction time while maintaining or improving measurement accuracy through automated data capture and processing.
2Ease of manufacture
If measurement, design, and construction are performed as independent processes with manual data transmission, then each stage can be completed separately, but the overall construction efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges measurement, design, and construction processes into an integrated workflow. The ranging device captures 3D spatial data that is directly transmitted to the design system, which automatically generates construction drawings and material lists. This integrated approach eliminates manual data transcription between stages, reduces errors, and significantly improves overall construction efficiency while maintaining the logical independence of each process stage.
3Productivity
If approximate shape measurement and experience-based estimation are used for irregular construction objects, then material consumption can be quickly estimated, but construction loss increases due to inaccurate calculations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces experience-based estimation with laser-based 3D scanning and automated calculation. The ranging device captures precise spatial coordinates of irregular construction objects, and the system automatically calculates accurate surface areas and volumes. This eliminates the need for approximate measurements and empirical estimation, providing exact material quantity calculations that reduce waste while maintaining quick processing speeds through automated computation.

AI summary
An intelligent construction method includes obtaining dimensional data of a construction object from a ranging device and obtaining a construction request of the construction object confirmed by a user. The construction request includes the dimensional data and a construction requirement. The method further includes determining construction information corresponding to the construction request, determining a construction solution of the construction object based on the construction information, and obtaining a construction list of the construction object generated based on the construction solution.
