Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the number of management target devices is increased, then the system coverage and functionality are improved, but the processing performance becomes insufficient and system stability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of communication cycles based on device status. When the number of management devices increases, the system automatically extends the communication cycle for devices with normal status while maintaining short cycles for devices with abnormal status. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to handle increased device counts without overwhelming the controller, thereby maintaining system stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of communication cycle length based on device status and system load. By extending communication cycles for normal devices and maintaining short cycles for abnormal devices, the system optimizes processing performance while ensuring comprehensive monitoring coverage, resolving the contradiction between system coverage and stability.
2Speed
If the communication cycle is shortened to improve responsiveness, then the detection speed is improved, but the system efficiency and processing load are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different communication cycles to different devices based on their status. Devices with abnormal status receive short communication cycles for rapid detection, while devices with normal status receive extended cycles. This localized differentiation ensures fast response where needed while maintaining overall system efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies short communication cycles only to the necessary subset of devices with abnormal status, rather than uniformly to all devices. This partial action approach maintains detection speed for critical devices while avoiding unnecessary processing overhead for normal devices, thereby improving overall system efficiency.
3Productivity
If the communication status is adjusted dynamically to optimize system efficiency, then the processing performance is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors device status and uses this feedback to dynamically adjust communication cycles. The controller receives status information from devices, evaluates system load, and automatically modifies communication parameters accordingly. This feedback mechanism enables automatic optimization without requiring complex manual configuration or intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-adjustment of communication parameters based on its own operational state. The controller automatically extends or shortens communication cycles according to device status and processing load, eliminating the need for external intervention or complex control algorithms. This self-service approach simplifies the system while maintaining high processing performance.

AI summary
A communicator communicates with a plurality of management targets. An operation-mode determiner determines, based on information representing a status of each of the management targets each received by the communicator, whether a total system status of the plurality of management targets satisfies a predefined condition. A mode-of-network-communication switch, a communication-parameter changer, a condition-for-device-communication setter, a cycle-for-obtaining-status-value setter and a communication-parameter setter adjust, when the operation-mode determiner determines that the system status satisfies the predefined condition, a communication status of the communicator in accordance with the system status and a processing performance of the device.
