Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional adapting devices are used for interface conversion, then interface compatibility is improved, but device complexity and cost increase due to requiring multiple fiber converters for different transceiving specifications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single optical fiber transceiving device that can handle multiple transceiving specifications (HDMI, USB-C, PCIe, etc.) through a unified optical interface. The transmission end includes multiple TX input interfaces following different transceiving specifications, and the reception device includes multiple RX output interfaces following different transceiving specifications, all converging to a single optical fiber connection. This eliminates the need for multiple separate fiber converters while maintaining interface compatibility across different specifications.
2Reliability
If optical fibers are used for long-distance data transmission, then transmission stability is improved, but synchronization problems occur when transmitting data with different transceiving specifications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of a unified optical transceiving device that mediates between different transceiving specifications. The transmission end classifies information from different interfaces and the reception device reconstructs the original interface protocol, acting as an intermediary that ensures proper synchronization and protocol conversion. This intermediary layer resolves synchronization issues by providing a standardized optical interface that handles protocol conversion transparently.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple fiber converters are used to support different transceiving specifications, then interface versatility is improved, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies merging by combining multiple fiber converter functions into a single integrated optical transceiving device. Instead of having separate converters for HDMI, USB-C, PCIe, and other specifications, the invention merges these functions into one device that handles all specifications through a unified optical fiber interface. This consolidation reduces manufacturing costs by eliminating redundant components while maintaining the ability to support multiple interface types.
