Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually input numerical coordinates for evaluation ranges and radio station positions, then the interference evaluation can be performed, but the operation becomes cumbersome and error-prone

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of designationVSAvoidtime for input
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

A map display unit serves as an intermediary between the user and the evaluation parameters. Users interact with the map visually to designate evaluation ranges and station positions, while the system automatically converts these visual selections into numerical coordinates for processing, eliminating the need for manual numerical input

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical/manual input method (typing numerical coordinates) with a graphical interface method (selecting areas on a map). This substitution transforms the input mechanism from character entry to visual selection, significantly improving ease of operation and reducing input time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If users manually input numerical coordinates, then the evaluation can be executed, but errors in inputting positions and ranges occur frequently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of positionVSAvoidease of input
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The map display unit acts as an intermediary that visually represents the evaluation area and station positions. Users select regions on the map, and the system automatically extracts accurate coordinates through image processing, eliminating manual coordinate entry errors while maintaining high position accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a visual copy of the evaluation scenario on the map display unit. Users interact with this visual representation to designate ranges and positions, and the system uses image processing to accurately extract coordinates from the visual input, ensuring high accuracy without requiring manual numerical entry

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If the evaluation range and station position are redesignated when conditions change, then the evaluation remains accurate, but the reconfiguration process is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of evaluationVSAvoidtime for reconfiguration
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The map display unit serves as a persistent visual intermediary that maintains the evaluation scenario. When conditions change, users can quickly redesignate ranges and positions on the visual map, and the system rapidly processes these changes through image processing, enabling fast reconfiguration while maintaining evaluation precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An interference evaluation method is an interference evaluation method executed by an interference evaluation device, the interference evaluation method including: a step of deriving coordinates of an evaluation range in a real space on the basis of a range designated using a map, and deriving coordinates of a radio station in the real space on the basis of a position designated using the map; a step of deriving an interference level of a radio wave transmitted from the radio station for the evaluation range on the basis of the coordinates of the evaluation range and the coordinates of the radio station; and a step of displaying an image corresponding to the interference level on a display unit. The interference evaluation method further include: a step of deriving coordinates of a path range that can include a three-dimensional path in the real space on the basis of a second range designated within a first range using the map; and a step of deriving coordinates of the three-dimensional path on the basis of a path designated using the map.
