Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If WiFi transmission is used for large XML files, then wireless connectivity is achieved, but transmission speed is slow and error rate increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission speedVSAvoidtransmission error rate
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces radio frequency electromagnetic waves (WiFi) with visible light waves (LiFi) for data transmission. This substitution of the transmission medium fundamentally changes the physical layer characteristics, enabling higher bandwidth and faster transmission speeds while reducing interference and error rates associated with radio frequency communications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the transmission parameter from radio frequency (WiFi) to visible light frequency (LiFi). This parameter change in the electromagnetic spectrum enables exploitation of the vast available light spectrum bandwidth, resulting in transmission speeds up to 100 times faster than WiFi and improved reliability for large file transfers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of time

If large XML files are transmitted using conventional methods, then data transfer is achieved, but transfer time is excessive and vulnerability to attacks increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransfer timeVSAvoidvulnerability to attacks
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

By substituting radio frequency transmission with optical transmission, the patent achieves dramatically reduced transfer times for large files. The higher bandwidth of visible light enables rapid transmission of large XML files, minimizing the time window for potential attacks and reducing exposure to network threats.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables rapid data transmission that 'rushes through' the transmission process quickly, minimizing the duration of vulnerability. The high-speed LiFi transmission completes large file transfers in a fraction of the time required by conventional methods, reducing the attack surface and time for potential interception or corruption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)

3Speed

If LiFi transmission is used for large files, then transmission speed increases significantly, but infrastructure complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission speedVSAvoidinfrastructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent leverages the dual functionality of LED devices, which can simultaneously provide illumination and data transmission. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate communication infrastructure, as existing LED lighting installations can be upgraded to provide both light and LiFi communication capabilities, reducing overall infrastructure complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes existing LED infrastructure to provide communication services. The LED devices that are already deployed for lighting purposes are repurposed to also serve as transmission devices, making the infrastructure self-sufficient and eliminating the need for dedicated communication hardware in many scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
