Measurement Apparatus Dynamic Time Margin Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing measurement apparatuses for mobile terminals cannot shorten measurement time due to a fixed, relatively large additional time margin set for various measurement items and communication methods, resulting in prolonged measurement periods.
Innovation Solution
A measurement apparatus and method that sets an appropriate measurement period by adding additional time specifically set for each measurement item and communication method, allowing for sequential and parallel data acquisition and measurement, thereby reducing overall measurement time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a fixed additional time margin is set for various measurement items and communication methods, then measurement reliability is improved, but measurement time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the additional time parameter adjustable rather than fixed. The measurement period setting section dynamically sets different additional time values (t1, t2) based on the specific measurement item and communication method being used, allowing the system to adapt the measurement period to actual needs rather than using a conservative fixed margin for all cases.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of additional time from a fixed value to a variable value that depends on the measurement item and communication method. By storing multiple additional time values in the additional time storage section and selecting appropriate values based on measurement requirements, the system optimizes the balance between reliability and measurement time.
2Measurement precision
If a predetermined measurement period with large margin is used for all measurement items, then measurement accuracy is improved, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by setting different additional time margins for different measurement items and communication methods rather than using a uniform large margin for all. Each measurement configuration receives an appropriately tailored additional time value, providing sufficient margin only where needed and reducing unnecessary time consumption elsewhere.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the measurement period based on the specific measurement item and communication method being tested. The measurement period setting section calculates optimal additional time values for each scenario, allowing the measurement process to be both accurate and efficient by adapting to local requirements.
