Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If commercial anti-theft systems use special network configuration and dedicated wiring, then security protection function is improved, but device complexity and installation cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical/electrical wiring system with a wireless communication system. The anti-theft device uses wireless modules to communicate with the control module, eliminating the need for dedicated wiring and complex network configuration while maintaining security protection functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a wireless communication module as an intermediary between the sensing module and the control module. This intermediary enables data transmission without physical wiring, simplifying the system configuration and reducing installation complexity.
2Reliability
If commercial anti-theft systems use dedicated wiring, then security protection function is improved, but installation cost and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical wiring installation process with wireless communication setup. The anti-theft device can be installed by simply attaching the sensing module to the object without any wiring, dramatically reducing installation time while maintaining security functionality.
3Reliability
If commercial anti-theft systems use complex network configuration, then security protection function is improved, but ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service functionality where the anti-theft device automatically configures itself. The control module automatically receives data from the sensing module via wireless communication and processes the anti-theft logic without requiring manual network configuration or complex setup procedures.
4Measurement precision
If MEMS sensing module is used for detection, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the MEMS sensing module with the wireless communication module into an integrated unit. This combination allows the sophisticated MEMS technology to be used for precise velocity and acceleration detection while the integrated design prevents the system from becoming overly complex.

AI summary
An anti-theft system includes at least one MEMS module, a master controlling module and an alerting module. The MEMS module is used for detecting a velocity, an acceleration and/or a spatial location of the MEMS module, and transferring the detected velocity, the acceleration or the spatial location of the MEMS module to the master controlling module. The master controlling module is used for determining whether the MEMS module is disposed within an anti-theft range according to the velocity, the acceleration or the spatial location of the MEMS module, and sending an alerting signal to the alerting module once the MEMS module is determined to be disposed outside of the anti-theft range. The alerting module is used for performing an alerting action when receiving the alerting signal. An anti-theft device and an anti-theft method are also provided.
