Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If personal mobilities are managed individually, then each device can be monitored and controlled separately, but management time and economic costs increase due to repetitive tasks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple personal mobility devices into a bundle managed as a single unit. The server groups multiple mobilities with identical or similar battery states into bundles, enabling simultaneous charging and management operations. This combining approach eliminates repetitive individual management tasks and significantly reduces management time while maintaining effective monitoring and control of each device within the bundle.
2Measurement precision
If personal mobilities are managed individually, then specific device states can be monitored accurately, but economic costs increase due to repetitive management tasks
Solution Approach 1:
The system combines multiple mobility devices into management bundles while preserving individual device state monitoring. The server maintains separate tracking of battery states, positions, and conditions for each mobility within a bundle, then applies unified charging control. This approach achieves cost-effective batch management without sacrificing measurement precision, as each device's specific state is still accurately monitored and used for control decisions.
Solution Approach 2:
The server implements a universal management protocol that can handle multiple mobility types and states through standardized bundle operations. The system uses unified charging algorithms and control signals that work across different devices in a bundle, reducing the need for device-specific management procedures while maintaining accurate monitoring of individual characteristics.
3Productivity
If personal mobilities are charged individually, then each battery can be optimized for its specific state, but operational efficiency decreases due to lack of coordinated management
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements simultaneous charging of multiple mobilities within a bundle by the same charging vehicle. The server coordinates the charging process to charge multiple batteries at once, significantly improving productivity and reducing total charging time. The system maintains individual battery state optimization by adjusting charging parameters for each device based on its specific state, while achieving coordinated batch charging efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The server performs preliminary grouping of mobilities into bundles based on their battery states and charging requirements before dispatching charging vehicles. This preliminary organization enables efficient route planning and charging sequence optimization, allowing the charging vehicle to service multiple devices in a coordinated manner rather than making separate trips for each mobility.
