Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If sensor data is kept only on a single mobile terminal, then the terminal can process data locally, but sensor data cannot be shared among multiple mobile terminals

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensor data sharing capabilityVSAvoidnetwork structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements sensor data sharing by enabling any mobile terminal to access sensor data from other terminals through a standardized network interface. The sensor data can be shared across multiple devices, allowing a terminal with acceleration sensor to provide data to terminals needing height measurement, thus achieving multi-functionality and universality in sensor data utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a network as an intermediary between mobile terminals to facilitate sensor data sharing. The network acts as a mediator that connects multiple terminals, allowing them to exchange sensor data without direct physical connections. This intermediary approach enables data sharing while maintaining the simplicity of individual terminal structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If sensor data is shared among multiple mobile terminals, then application versatility is enhanced, but data transmission and network management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication versatilityVSAvoiddata transmission complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments sensor data into distinct data packets that can be independently transmitted and managed across the network. Each sensor data type (acceleration, temperature, magnetic field) is separated and can be selectively shared with specific terminals based on their needs, reducing the complexity of data transmission by handling small, manageable units rather than large data streams.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary actions by having terminals register their sensor data availability and access requirements before actual data sharing occurs. The network maintains a database of available sensor data and access requests, allowing efficient matching and transmission. This preliminary organization reduces real-time transmission complexity by pre-establishing data pathways and access protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If a network is built for sensor data sharing, then multiple terminals can access each other's sensor data, but network establishment and maintenance requires additional protocols

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sharing capabilityVSAvoidnetwork protocol complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges network establishment protocols with existing mobile terminal communication standards, combining sensor data sharing functionality with standard telecommunication protocols. This integration allows the sensor data sharing network to be established using existing infrastructure and protocols, reducing the need for entirely new complex protocols while maintaining data sharing capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses a method for sharing sensor data among mobile terminals, which includes that: when any mobile terminal in the network for sharing sensor data needs sensor data not owned by itself, the mobile terminal sends a request message to a mobile terminal owning the sensor data needed by the mobile terminal according to routing table information and a sensor resource list which are currently stored in the mobile terminal itself; and the mobile terminal which receives the request message returns the sensor data needed to the mobile terminal which sends the request message according to the received request message. The present disclosure further discloses a network for sharing sensor data among mobile terminals. Sharing of sensor data among multiple mobile terminals can be realized by adopting the method and the network provided by the present disclosure.
