Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual configuration of optical fibre connections is used, then configuration flexibility is maintained, but error rate increases and detection capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic feedback mechanisms where the network management system continuously monitors and detects optical fibre connection states. The system compares actual connection states with configured states, automatically detecting errors and providing feedback for correction, thereby improving both configuration accuracy and error detection capability simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service automation where the network management system automatically configures, monitors, and detects optical fibre connections without manual intervention. This self-service approach eliminates human errors in manual configuration while maintaining system flexibility, resolving the contradiction between configuration accuracy and error detection.
2Ease of manufacture
If manual configuration is used in large-scale networks, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but workload increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical configuration operations with automated electronic systems. The network management system automatically performs configuration tasks that would otherwise require manual intervention, dramatically improving configuration efficiency in large-scale networks while maintaining implementation simplicity through standardized automated processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary automatic configuration and validation actions before actual network deployment. By pre-configuring and validating optical fibre connections automatically, the system eliminates the need for time-consuming manual configuration during deployment, thereby improving configuration efficiency while keeping the implementation process simple and standardized.
3Device complexity
If manual configuration is used, then system complexity is reduced, but synchronization capability deteriorates and maintenance cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal network management system that handles multiple functions including configuration, monitoring, detection, and synchronization of optical fibre connections. This multi-functional system maintains connection consistency across the entire network while managing complexity through integrated standardized procedures, resolving the contradiction between system complexity and connection consistency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors optical fibre connection states and provides real-time feedback to maintain synchronization between configured and actual connection states. This feedback mechanism ensures connection consistency across the network while managing system complexity through automated monitoring and correction processes.

AI summary
The disclosure claims a method and system for detecting optical fibre connection. The method comprises: a single board judges whether the received connection information of downstream single board, connection information of upstream single board and connection information of the single board is the reported current optical fibre connection relationship information; if no, reporting the received connection information to network management system; the network management system generates the optical fibre matching connection relationship information of all single boards currently installed according to the actual installation condition of the single board, and determines whether the reported current optical fibre connection relationship information is the correct optical fibre connection relationship according to the optical fibre matching connection relationship information; if yes, displaying the current optical fibre connection relationship information; otherwise, prompting that currently it is the wrong optical fibre connection relationship, and displaying the optimal optical fibre connection relationship information.
