Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If RFID systems and navigation systems are integrated into a unified chip board system, then communication and navigation capabilities are enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines RFID communication functionality and navigation functionality into a single integrated chip board system. The reader device includes both RFID reading capabilities and navigation system integration, allowing simultaneous operation of communication and navigation functions through a unified platform, thereby enhancing versatility while managing complexity through integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The chip board system is designed to perform multiple functions including RFID tag reading, navigation, and position determination. The reader device can operate as both an RFID interrogator and a navigation aid, serving universal purposes across different application scenarios such as asset tracking and directional guidance.
2Productivity
If multiple chips are integrated on a single board, then communication efficiency is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple chips including RFID tags and navigation components are integrated onto a single board substrate. This consolidation improves communication efficiency by reducing the number of separate components and connections, while the board serves as a unified platform that manages the precision requirements through standardized integration processes.
3Reliability
If rotatable antennas are added to readers, then communication reliability in various orientations is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The reader device incorporates rotatable antennas that can change orientation dynamically. This dynamic capability allows the antenna to adapt to different spatial orientations and maintain reliable communication with tags regardless of their position, thereby improving communication reliability while the rotation mechanism manages the complexity through controlled movement.
4Adaptability or versatility
If near-field and far-field communication methods are both supported, then adaptability to different communication scenarios is improved, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The reader device dynamically switches between near-field and far-field communication methods based on the operational requirements and distance to tags. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to use near-field communication for short-range high-efficiency operations and far-field communication for longer-range scenarios, optimizing energy consumption while maintaining versatility.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system effectively communicates with autonomous vehicles and offshore vessels, providing navigation and educational functionalities in complex environments, enhancing communication and information exchange while offering modular scalability and adaptability.
Implementation Method 1
The reader communicates with the tag by radio frequency (RF) generally using a modulated RF interrogation signal and a modulated response including coded identification data
Implementation Method 2
Passive tags are further powered by an unmodulated continuous wave (CV). RFID systems use far- or near-field technology depending on the reader - tag distance in comparison with the wavelength of the carrier signal. Near-field systems via mutual inductance
Implementation Method 3
A pair of chips can communicate if using compatible data and/or power transfer systems. An integrated circuit (a chip) can be connected with any type of a wireless interface (e.g. an antenna) which can use electric fields, magnetic fields or both for data transfer
