Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If phase measurements are obtained from multiple transmit/receive channels for positioning, then positioning accuracy can be improved, but phase delay differences between different channels introduce measurement errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidphase measurement reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces phase error groups (PEGs) as intermediary entities that model and compensate for phase delay differences between different transmit/receive channels. Each PEG contains phase error parameters that act as mediators to correct the raw phase measurements, enabling accurate positioning while accounting for channel-specific phase delays

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter representation by introducing phase error parameters associated with different PEGs. Instead of directly using raw phase measurements from multiple channels, the system transforms the measurements by applying parameter-based corrections (phase error parameters) that reflect the actual channel conditions, thereby improving measurement reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If phase error groups and phase error parameters are introduced to correct phase delays, then positioning accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the phase error compensation process into distinct phase error groups (PEGs), where each PEG handles specific transmit/receive channel combinations. This segmentation allows the complex problem of multi-channel phase error compensation to be divided into manageable, independent units that can be processed separately and then combined

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-defining phase error groups and their associated phase error parameters before actual positioning measurements are taken. This preliminary setup organizes the compensation framework in advance, reducing the computational complexity during real-time positioning operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
