Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If sensing data is directly transparently transmitted to a service server using application layer reporting scheme, then the service server can obtain sensing data, but the mobile network cannot collaboratively process and utilize sensing data, leading to increased processing pressure on the service server

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces the mobile network as an intermediary between the terminal device and the service server. The mobile network receives sensing data from the terminal device, performs collaborative processing, and then transmits processed data to the service server. This mediator approach enables the mobile network to participate in data processing, reducing the burden on the service server while maintaining system functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the data processing function into two parts: initial data collection and preprocessing by the mobile network, and final service processing by the service server. This segmentation allows the mobile network to handle preliminary processing tasks such as data filtering, aggregation, or validation, thereby reducing the processing pressure on the service server and improving overall system efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If sensing data is transmitted through the mobile network for collaborative processing, then processing pressure on service server is reduced, but additional network infrastructure and protocols are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoidnetwork infrastructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent leverages the existing mobile network infrastructure to perform multiple functions: data transmission, collaborative processing, and protocol management. By making the mobile network multi-functional, the patent avoids the need for separate dedicated infrastructure for each function, thereby reducing overall system complexity while enabling collaborative data processing.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The mobile network autonomously performs data processing tasks without requiring constant intervention from the service server. The network independently handles data reception, processing, and forwarding, making the system more self-sufficient and reducing the operational complexity associated with centralized server management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
