Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional sequential data encoding/decoding is used, then device complexity is reduced, but encoding speed and security are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional electronic sequential processing with optical parallel processing. Light sources modulate multiple data bits simultaneously and light sensors detect multiple signals in parallel, achieving high-speed encoding while maintaining manageable device complexity through optical domain operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides data into multiple parallel channels using multiple light sources and light sensors. Each light source-sensor pair processes specific data segments simultaneously, enabling parallel encoding operations that increase productivity without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
2Reliability
If traditional data scrambling is used, then security is provided, but encoding speed is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies periodic scrambling patterns to rearrange data bits in a systematic manner. This periodic action provides security through unpredictable data transformation while maintaining encoding speed by using regular, repeatable patterns that can be efficiently implemented in optical hardware.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic scrambling where the rearrangement pattern changes over time or with different data inputs. This dynamic approach enhances security by preventing pattern recognition attacks while maintaining high encoding speed through hardware-based optical implementation.
3Reliability
If parallel light-based processing is implemented, then encoding speed and security are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs light sources and light sensors that can handle multiple data channels and scrambling patterns simultaneously. This multi-functionality allows the same hardware components to perform various encoding operations, improving security through parallel processing while avoiding proportional increases in device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple light sources and light sensors into an integrated optical processing system. By merging these components into a coordinated array, the system achieves parallel processing capability for enhanced security while managing overall device complexity through integrated design.
