Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the sensing range of a microwave sensor is configured at the time of delivery, then the device structure remains simple and fixed, but the sensing region becomes single and fixed, unable to meet diverse sensing requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing region adaptabilityVSAvoiddevice structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the sensing region into multiple sub-sensing regions (first sub-sensing region, second sub-sensing region, etc.) with different sensing ranges. The sensing module can selectively activate different sub-regions based on control signals, allowing the system to adapt to diverse sensing requirements without changing the physical device structure. This segmentation enables flexible region selection while maintaining a fixed hardware configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If a single fixed sensing region is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the accuracy of sensing results deteriorates due to unnecessary detection in non-sensing areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing result accuracyVSAvoidregion control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic control of sensing regions through control signals that selectively activate different sub-sensing regions based on real-time requirements. The sensing module can dynamically adjust which sub-regions are active, allowing precise targeting of sensing areas and elimination of unnecessary detections. This dynamic region selection improves sensing accuracy by focusing resources on relevant areas while maintaining relatively simple device architecture.
