Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a single optical device is used for light manipulation, then the device complexity is reduced, but the estimation precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the optical conversion function into multiple independent optical devices (12-1 to 12-N), each capable of independent parameter setting. This segmentation allows the system to achieve higher estimation precision through diversified light manipulation while maintaining manageable device complexity by keeping each optical device independent and relatively simple.
2Measurement precision
If multiple optical devices with independent parameter settings are used, then the estimation precision is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the optical conversion function across multiple independent devices, allowing parallel light manipulation with different parameters. This enables the patent to overcome the limitation of single-device systems and achieve superior estimation precision for configuration problems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an additional dimension of parameter diversity by enabling independent parameter settings across multiple optical devices. This dimensional expansion allows the system to explore a broader parameter space and achieve more accurate estimation results that cannot be obtained by a single device with fixed parameters.
3Productivity
If multiple optical devices are used for light manipulation, then information processing capability is enhanced, but calculation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information processing function across multiple optical devices, with each device handling specific light manipulation tasks. This segmentation enhances overall information processing capability by distributing computational workload and enabling parallel processing, while the modular structure helps manage calculation complexity.
