Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a simple identification system using information carriers is used, then the system is easy to operate, but it lacks reliability and can be manipulated by imitating sensor signals
Solution Approach 1:
The identification system is segmented into multiple independent factors: information carriers (RFID tags, barcodes), sensor signals (acoustic, electromagnetic, vibration), and physical property data. Each factor operates independently and contributes to the overall identification decision, making the system both easy to operate (simple individual components) and reliable (multiple verification layers that prevent signal imitation fraud)
2Measurement precision
If the system adapts to varying physical properties of devices, then identification accuracy improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts to varying physical properties of devices by adjusting identification parameters and thresholds based on detected characteristics. The system can modify its operation mode, select different sensor types, and adjust verification criteria according to the specific device being identified, thereby maintaining high identification accuracy without requiring a completely complex fixed architecture for every possible device type
3Reliability
If continuous connection to registration systems is maintained, then fraud prevention improves, but operational costs and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-registering device profiles, identification patterns, and authorization data before actual operation. This preliminary setup enables the system to operate autonomously with fraud prevention capabilities without requiring continuous real-time connection to external registration systems, thereby reducing operational complexity and costs while maintaining security
4Reliability
If multiple information carriers and sensors are used, then identification reliability improves, but the system becomes more complex and expensive
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs universal multi-functional components that can serve multiple identification purposes. For example, a single sensor array can detect acoustic signals, electromagnetic signals, and vibrations depending on configuration. Information carriers are designed to work across different device types and identification scenarios. This multi-functionality increases identification reliability through multiple verification factors while controlling system complexity by using versatile rather than specialized components
