Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional information transmission methods are used in communication systems, then information can be transmitted between nodes, but the transmission process becomes complex and it is difficult to guarantee latency and service quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice quality guaranteeVSAvoidtransmission process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing QoS parameters and acquisition information indications before information transmission begins. The network elements pre-configure latency requirements, reliability levels, and processing priorities, allowing the system to guarantee service quality without complex real-time adjustments during transmission

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by dynamically adjusting acquisition information indications based on different service requirements. Different QoS parameters (latency, reliability, priority) are applied to different information types, enabling simplified transmission processes tailored to specific service quality needs without universal complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If comprehensive information sensing is performed at different positions, then service sensing capability is improved, but enormous and disordered sensed information generates redundancy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice sensing capabilityVSAvoidinformation redundancy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different acquisition information indications to different network elements based on their specific positions and functions. Each element processes information with locally optimized parameters (precision, priority, latency requirements), reducing overall redundancy while maintaining comprehensive sensing capability across the network

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments information processing by dividing the network into multiple elements, each handling specific acquisition tasks with dedicated QoS parameters. This segmentation allows parallel processing of different information types with appropriate precision and priority levels, improving sensing productivity while minimizing redundant data through specialized processing at each segment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Area of stationary object

If multiple network elements perform information acquisition and transmission, then information coverage is improved, but interaction time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation coverageVSAvoidinteraction time
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing QoS parameters and acquisition indications for multiple network elements before information exchange begins. Latency requirements and processing priorities are configured in advance, enabling parallel information acquisition across covered areas without sequential interaction delays

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by adjusting acquisition information indications dynamically based on information priority and latency requirements. High-priority information with strict latency constraints receives optimized processing parameters, allowing multiple network elements to expand coverage while maintaining timely interaction through parameter-based prioritization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
