Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If motion information is collected and processed to generate future location sequences, then predictive location information is provided, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting motion information from multiple terminals and generating location sequences for future moments in advance. The server calculates predicted locations based on current motion data (position, speed, direction) and stores these sequences, so that when users query future locations, the information is already prepared and can be quickly retrieved without complex real-time calculations.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between terminals and users. It collects motion information from multiple terminals, processes this data to generate location sequences, and then provides the predicted location information to users upon request. This intermediary approach centralizes the complex processing tasks while keeping terminal devices relatively simple.
2Loss of information
If location sequences for multiple future moments are generated and stored, then comprehensive predictive information is available, but data storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-calculates and stores location sequences for multiple future moments based on current motion information. By performing the calculation action in advance and storing the results, the system avoids the need for complex real-time computations when users query future locations, thereby reducing information loss while managing storage requirements through efficient pre-processing.
3Measurement precision
If real-time motion information from multiple terminals is processed, then accurate predictions are achieved, but computational load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary processing of motion information from multiple terminals to generate location sequences for future moments. By calculating predicted locations in advance based on current position, speed, and direction data, and storing these sequences, the system achieves accurate predictions without requiring high computational power during user queries, as the complex calculations are already completed.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of performing complex real-time calculations when users query future locations, the system uses pre-calculated location sequences as copies of the predicted data. These sequences are generated once from current motion information and then reused for multiple queries, significantly reducing the computational load while maintaining prediction accuracy.
