Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If network processing is optimized based on fixed use characteristics of mobile terminals, then network processing optimization can be achieved, but the system cannot adapt to changing use characteristics of mobile terminals

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to changing use characteristicsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from static, fixed use characteristics to dynamic, real-time detection of mobile terminal characteristics. The detection server continuously monitors event notifications (location changes, motion states, application usage) and dynamically updates terminal characteristics, enabling the network to adapt processing optimization strategies in real-time based on current terminal states rather than relying on predetermined fixed characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback through the detection server that receives event notifications from mobile terminals and feeds back updated characteristic information to the network processing system. This feedback loop enables continuous monitoring and adaptation, where the network receives real-time information about terminal location, motion state, and application usage, then adjusts network processing parameters accordingly to maintain optimal performance as characteristics change.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If event notifications are transmitted from mobile communication apparatus to detect characteristics changes, then real-time optimization is enabled, but communication overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork optimization efficiencyVSAvoidcommunication overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by selectively transmitting only relevant event notifications that indicate actual characteristic changes requiring network optimization. Rather than continuously reporting all terminal states, the system transmits event notifications only when specific conditions are met (location changes, motion state changes, application usage changes), reducing unnecessary communication overhead while maintaining sufficient information for effective network optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If control contents are dynamically determined based on detected characteristics changes, then network resource allocation is optimized, but control processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidcontrol processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining multiple types of control contents corresponding to different terminal characteristic states. The system prepares optimization strategies in advance for various scenarios (stationary terminal, moving terminal, high data usage, low data usage) and selects the appropriate pre-prepared control content based on detected characteristics, rather than computing optimal control parameters in real-time, thus reducing control processing complexity while maintaining dynamic optimization capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
