VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If magnetic field detection is performed at multiple distances from the detection target, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases due to multiple measurement positions and noise suppression requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic field detection accuracyVSAvoiddetection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from single-plane magnetic field detection to multi-plane three-dimensional detection. By measuring magnetic fields at multiple distances (first plane, second plane, third plane) and reconstructing the distribution in a derived plane, the system achieves higher measurement precision through spatial dimensionality expansion. This allows accurate detection even when the detection target is closer than conventional methods permit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a processor as an intermediary that performs magnetic field distribution reconstruction. The processor receives measurement data from multiple planes and calculates the magnetic field distribution in the derived plane using interpolation or other processing methods. This intermediary computation step enables noise suppression and accurate reconstruction without requiring direct physical contact with the detection target.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs feedback through multi-plane measurement and reconstruction. By measuring magnetic fields at multiple distances (including planes both closer to and farther from the detection target) and using these measurements to reconstruct the distribution in a derived plane, the system can suppress noise through cross-validation and interpolation. The first, second, and third planes provide redundant information that helps distinguish signal from noise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary measurements at multiple planes before reconstructing the final magnetic field distribution. By collecting data from the first plane (closer to target), second plane (intermediate distance), and third plane (farther from target), the system prepares sufficient measurement data in advance to enable accurate reconstruction with noise suppression in the derived plane.

Inventive Principle:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a copied or reconstructed representation of the magnetic field distribution in a derived plane that is different from the actual measurement planes. By calculating the magnetic field distribution at the first derived plane based on measurements from the first, second, and third planes, the system generates a virtual measurement result that provides higher resolution without requiring additional physical measurement equipment at the derived position.
