Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual pairing is performed for each wireless communication module separately, then pairing information is stored for each module, but the user must repeatedly perform manual pairing operations when switching between different wireless communication modules
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary pairing actions by storing pairing information in a centralized pairing management module during the first pairing process. This preliminary action enables subsequent wireless communication modules to automatically pair with the same device without requiring repeated manual pairing operations, thus resolving the contradiction between pairing convenience and pairing time
Solution Approach 2:
The pairing management module serves multiple wireless communication modules simultaneously by storing and managing pairing information for different module types (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.). This multi-functional approach allows a single pairing operation to benefit multiple modules, eliminating the need for separate manual pairing for each module and reducing overall pairing time
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple wireless communication modules are equipped in electronic devices, then communication versatility is improved, but the complexity of pairing operations increases
Solution Approach 1:
The pairing management module acts as an intermediary between multiple wireless communication modules and the external device. It centralizes the management of pairing information and coordinates pairing operations across different module types, thereby reducing the complexity of pairing processes while maintaining support for multiple communication protocols and modules
3Extent of automation
If automatic pairing is implemented across multiple wireless communication modules, then repeated manual pairing operations are eliminated, but the system requires a centralized pairing management mechanism
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the pairing management functionality into a single centralized pairing management module that handles pairing information for all wireless communication modules. This consolidation automates the pairing process across multiple modules while avoiding the need for separate pairing management mechanisms for each module, thus achieving high automation without proportionally increasing system complexity
