Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If data is linked to physical instruments without instrument identifiers, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability of data authentication deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces instrument identifiers as an intermediary element that bridges physical instruments and datasets. These identifiers serve as mediators that enable reliable authentication and tracking without requiring direct complex connections between all system components, thus maintaining reliability while managing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where transmission indications are sent back to update datasets based on physical instrument transmissions. This feedback loop ensures data integrity and reliability by continuously synchronizing dataset information with actual instrument states, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and reliability.
2Measurement precision
If real-time tracking is implemented for all transmissions, then measurement precision of transmission status is improved, but loss of time for processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by implementing tracking and update mechanisms that operate selectively rather than continuously for all data. The system processes transmission indications and updates datasets based on significant events or thresholds, achieving adequate measurement precision without the overhead of exhaustive real-time monitoring, thus reducing processing time loss.
3Productivity
If datasets are updated frequently based on transmission indications, then productivity of data synchronization is improved, but loss of energy for processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic update actions where datasets are synchronized with transmission indications at scheduled intervals or based on accumulated changes rather than continuously. This periodic approach maintains high data synchronization productivity while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to constant real-time updates, as the system processes changes in batches or at optimized intervals.
