Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If memory chips of different frequencies are combined to meet capacity and performance demands, then memory capacity and performance are improved, but memory utilization efficiency deteriorates because the system must operate at the lowest frequency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememory capacity and performanceVSAvoidmemory utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic frequency adjustment by monitoring memory access data in real-time and switching between different operating modes (first operating mode for high frequency, second operating mode for low frequency) based on current access patterns. This allows the memory system to adapt its frequency dynamically rather than being locked to a fixed low frequency, thereby improving utilization efficiency while maintaining the ability to handle high-capacity workloads.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the operating frequency parameter of the memory system based on detected access patterns. When high-frequency access is detected, the system switches to the first operating mode with higher frequency; when low-frequency access is detected, it switches to the second operating mode with lower frequency. This parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction by matching the operating frequency to actual usage requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the terminal system operates at the frequency of the low-frequency memory chip, then system compatibility is improved, but the performance of high-frequency memory chips is not fully utilized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem compatibilityVSAvoidmemory chip performance utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically switches between operating modes based on memory access data. When high-frequency access patterns are detected, it activates the first operating mode that utilizes high-frequency memory chips fully. When access patterns indicate lower requirements, it switches to the second operating mode that maintains compatibility. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to be versatile without being constrained to always operate at low frequency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different operating modes to different time periods or access scenarios. Instead of uniformly operating at low frequency across all scenarios, it applies high-frequency operation locally when high-performance access is detected, and low-frequency operation locally when compatibility is sufficient. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction between compatibility and performance utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Loss of energy

If memory access data is monitored and operating frequency is dynamically adjusted, then memory utilization efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememory utilization efficiencyVSAvoidfrequency adjustment system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The memory system monitors its own access data and autonomously determines when to switch between operating modes without requiring external control. The system services itself by detecting its own access patterns and adjusting its frequency accordingly, which improves utilization efficiency without requiring complex external control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where memory access data is continuously monitored and fed back to the control logic, which then adjusts the operating frequency accordingly. This closed-loop feedback system automatically optimizes memory utilization based on actual usage patterns, improving efficiency while keeping the control mechanism relatively simple through direct feedback from the memory subsystem itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
