Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional object detection methods are used, then detection accuracy can be maintained, but computational resources and processing time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoiddetection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the object detection process into multiple iterations, where each iteration processes a subset of spanning elements. This allows the system to divide computational work into manageable chunks, improving processing throughput while maintaining detection accuracy through cumulative refinement across iterations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial action by processing only a portion of spanning elements in each iteration rather than all elements simultaneously. The system processes spanning elements in batches across multiple iterations, which improves computational efficiency while the cumulative effect of multiple partial processing passes maintains or enhances detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Reliability

If more spanning elements are processed, then detection robustness improves, but power consumption and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection robustnessVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies periodic action by organizing the processing of spanning elements into discrete iterations with regular intervals. Each iteration processes a specific set of spanning elements, allowing the system to manage power consumption through controlled, periodic computational bursts rather than continuous high-load processing, while still achieving robust detection through multiple processing cycles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system processes only the necessary portion of spanning elements in each iteration based on detection needs. By dynamically adjusting the number and selection of spanning elements processed in each iteration, the system achieves robust detection with optimized power consumption, avoiding the energy waste of processing all possible spanning elements continuously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If iterative processing is used to improve detection accuracy, then measurement precision increases, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection precisionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the iterative processing into parallelizable iterations, where each iteration can independently process specific spanning elements. This segmentation allows for optimized execution where iterations can be scheduled efficiently, reducing overall processing time while maintaining the precision benefits of multiple processing passes through better time management and potential parallel execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
