Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a network system is implemented for energy management, then energy management capability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy management capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides energy management into separate functional modules: energy information recognition module, additional information recognition module, and recommended information provision module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, improving energy management capability while keeping individual module complexity low.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The control component is designed to handle multiple types of information (energy information and additional information) and provide recommended information for various operations. This multi-functional design improves adaptability without requiring separate specialized systems for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Loss of energy

If recommended operation information is provided based on energy information, then energy usage optimization is improved, but information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy usage efficiencyVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control component acts as an intermediary that receives energy information and additional information, processes them together, and generates recommended operation information. This mediator approach optimizes energy usage by integrating multiple information sources while centralizing processing logic in a single component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes operational parameters based on recognized energy information and additional information. By adjusting operation parameters dynamically according to input information, the system optimizes energy usage without requiring complex processing algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
