Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual inspection stations and image interpretation stations are manually selected and assigned, then the inspection process can be completed, but the labor intensity of security inspectors increases and the processing efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service through automated task assignment where the server automatically distributes inspection tasks to available manual inspection stations and image interpretation stations without requiring manual selection by security inspectors. The system autonomously manages task allocation, station selection, and resource coordination, allowing the inspection process to proceed with minimal human intervention in resource management.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual system of station selection and task assignment with an automated server-based information system. The server acts as an intelligent intermediary that automatically matches inspection tasks with appropriate stations and personnel, substituting manual administrative work with automated information processing and task distribution algorithms.
2Productivity
If fixed manual inspection personnel and remote image review personnel are assigned, then the inspection quality can be maintained, but the system cannot dynamically adjust to increasing passenger flow
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic adaptability through real-time monitoring of passenger flow and automatic adjustment of task assignment strategies. When passenger flow increases, the server dynamically redistributes inspection tasks across available stations and personnel, adjusting workload distribution based on current system capacity and demand. This allows the system to flexibly respond to varying inspection volumes without fixed personnel assignments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates universal, multi-functional inspection stations that can handle both manual inspection and image interpretation tasks. These stations are designed to perform multiple functions and can be dynamically allocated to different task types based on system needs and passenger flow characteristics, rather than being dedicated to single fixed functions or personnel roles.
3Productivity
If multiple security inspection instruments work simultaneously with separate data storage, then the inspection coverage increases, but the data management complexity increases and uniform querying becomes impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges data storage and management functions into a centralized server that consolidates inspection data from multiple security inspection instruments. Instead of each instrument maintaining separate local storage, all instruments connect to the shared server through a switching system, enabling unified data repository that simplifies management and enables uniform querying across all inspection data regardless of source instrument.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between multiple security inspection instruments and the data management system. It receives inspection data from various instruments, standardizes the data format, and provides uniform querying capabilities. This intermediary layer abstracts the complexity of multi-instrument data management, allowing instruments to operate independently while maintaining centralized, unified data access.
4Productivity
If manual inspection stations and image interpretation stations are dedicated to specific instruments, then the inspection quality is ensured, but the stations cannot be reused when multiple instruments operate simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs universal manual inspection stations and image interpretation stations that can serve multiple security inspection instruments. These stations are not dedicated to single instruments but are configured to handle tasks from any connected instrument through the server's task assignment system. This multi-functionality enables station reuse across multiple instruments while maintaining inspection quality through standardized procedures and server-coordinated task distribution.
