Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If high sampling rate is used to improve motion recognition accuracy, then measurement precision is improved, but wireless power consumption increases and channel capacity is exceeded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotion recognition accuracyVSAvoidwireless power consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and transmits only the critical motion data segments containing trigger events rather than all raw sensor data. The data acquisition device identifies trigger points in the motion stream and selectively transmits only those segments to the remote device, eliminating unnecessary data transmission and reducing wireless power consumption while preserving motion recognition accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the continuous motion data stream into discrete relevant segments based on trigger events. Each segment contains motion data around a specific trigger point, allowing the system to transmit only meaningful portions of the high-rate sensor data, thereby reducing overall data volume and power consumption while maintaining measurement precision for critical motions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If high sampling rate is used to improve motion recognition accuracy, then measurement precision is improved, but channel capacity is exceeded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotion recognition accuracyVSAvoiddata transmission volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential motion data segments containing trigger events from the high-rate sensor stream. By identifying and extracting only these critical segments for transmission, the patent reduces the quantity of transmitted data well below channel capacity limits while preserving all information necessary for accurate motion recognition of significant events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The continuous high-rate motion data is segmented into discrete trigger-based segments. This segmentation approach transforms the data transmission problem from sending entire high-rate streams to sending only relevant event-based segments, dramatically reducing total data volume while maintaining measurement precision for recognized motions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If all motion data is transmitted to maintain high sampling rate, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases due to continuous transmission requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotion recognition accuracyVSAvoiddata transmission system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The data acquisition device performs self-service by autonomously identifying trigger events and selecting which data segments to transmit without requiring continuous control or configuration from the remote device. This self-service capability simplifies the overall system architecture by eliminating the need for complex continuous transmission management while preserving high sampling rate benefits for critical motions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing the motion data stream at the acquisition device to identify trigger points and prepare relevant segments for transmission. This preliminary selection and preparation of data segments simplifies the transmission system by eliminating the need for complex real-time transmission management and reducing the burden on the remote device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
