Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual or network-based updates are used to change settings for IC chip-based devices, then the system can update application execution settings, but the operational cost and introduction cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device automatically determines and executes the appropriate application based on IC tag reading results without requiring manual configuration updates on the reader-writer side. The system serves itself by having the terminal device autonomously select applications based on pre-registered service information, eliminating the need for costly manual or network-based definition changes.
Solution Approach 2:
Service information including application identification information is registered in advance in the terminal device before actual use. When an IC tag is read, the terminal device can immediately determine which application to execute based on this pre-registered information, avoiding the need for real-time configuration updates and reducing operational costs.
2Ease of operation
If a mechanism to access IC tags is installed in each application, then applications can read IC tags independently, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A single IC tag reading mechanism in the terminal device serves all applications. The reading result is shared across multiple applications through a common determination process, eliminating the need for each application to have its own dedicated IC tag access mechanism and reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The IC tag reading function and application determination function are merged into a unified process. Instead of separate access mechanisms in each application, the system combines the reading capability with a central determination unit that selects which application should execute based on the IC tag content, simplifying the overall architecture.
3Measurement precision
If data in IC tags is optimized for each service, then each service can access relevant data efficiently, but data sharing between applications becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically determines which application to execute based on the IC tag reading result, allowing the same IC tag data to trigger different applications depending on the service context. This dynamic determination process enables flexible data reuse across applications while maintaining service-specific optimization.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device changes the parameter of application selection based on the IC tag content and service type. By varying which application is activated according to the read data, the system enables the same IC tag infrastructure to support multiple services with different data optimization requirements, improving data reusability.
