Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If each control device separately generates three-dimensional information, then local three-dimensional data can be obtained from each construction vehicle, but processing becomes complicated and integration becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethree-dimensional information accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the construction area into multiple local regions, with each control device generating three-dimensional information for its own local area. This segmentation allows each device to independently process data for a manageable portion of the overall site, reducing individual processing complexity while maintaining comprehensive coverage through aggregation of multiple local datasets into a complete site model

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system merges three-dimensional information from multiple control devices by integrating local three-dimensional data into a unified global model. The server aggregates data from various construction vehicles, combining their individual local perspectives into a comprehensive three-dimensional representation of the entire construction area, thereby simplifying overall processing through centralized integration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Productivity

If each control device separately processes data, then local processing capability is utilized, but integration and management of data becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocal processing efficiencyVSAvoiddata integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments data processing responsibilities by assigning each control device to process and generate three-dimensional information for its specific local area independently. This enables parallel local processing that improves overall productivity, as each device works autonomously on its portion of the construction site without interfering with others

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary that receives, integrates, and manages three-dimensional information from multiple control devices. This central mediator handles the complex task of data aggregation and coordination, allowing individual devices to maintain simple local processing while the intermediary manages the complexity of integrating all local datasets into a unified global model

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
