Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If location information is collected from multiple entities, then the quantity and completeness of location data increases, but the complexity of interpreting and processing this information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments location information into distinct categories: location information itself, location information status, and capability information. This segmentation allows the system to process and interpret different types of location data separately, reducing the overall complexity of handling comprehensive location information from multiple entities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism where entities exchange location information through standardized protocols that include status and capability indicators. This intermediary structure acts as a mediator between data collection and processing, simplifying the interpretation process by providing structured metadata about the location information's validity and source capabilities.
2Measurement precision
If location information status and capability information are transmitted, then the accuracy of location data identification improves, but the amount of data to be processed increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by transmitting location information status and capability information alongside the location data itself. This preliminary metadata is provided in advance, allowing receiving entities to quickly assess the accuracy and suitability of location information before processing, thereby improving identification accuracy while managing data processing load through selective processing based on pre-provided status indicators.
