Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple wireless standards are supported in traditional mobile terminal architecture, then service versatility is improved, but device complexity increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice versatilityVSAvoiddevice complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts complex processing functions from the mobile terminal and relocates them to a cloud server. The terminal retains only basic communication functions while the server handles application processing, database operations, and complex computations, thereby reducing terminal complexity while maintaining service versatility

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The cloud server is designed to provide universal services across multiple wireless standards (2G, 3G, 4G, WLAN, WPAN, BWA) through a unified architecture. A single server infrastructure supports diverse services including voice, data, video, and messaging across different networks, eliminating the need for separate processing systems for each standard

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Speed

If processing tasks are performed locally in mobile terminal, then response speed is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveresponse speedVSAvoidenergy consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a cloud server as an intermediary between the mobile terminal and the service processing functions. The terminal communicates with the server through standardized interfaces, allowing complex processing to occur on the server while maintaining fast local response for basic operations. This mediator approach balances local responsiveness with remote processing efficiency

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements partial local processing and partial remote processing. Critical time-sensitive functions are handled locally in the terminal, while non-time-critical but computationally intensive tasks are offloaded to the cloud server, optimizing the balance between response speed and energy consumption

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Stability of the object's composition

If traditional closed mobile terminal architecture is used, then system stability is improved, but adaptability to new standards deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem stabilityVSAvoidadaptability to new standards

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the mobile communication system into independent functional modules: the mobile terminal handles basic connectivity and the cloud server handles service delivery. This segmentation allows the server side to be updated and adapted to new wireless standards without affecting the stability of the terminal side, enabling independent evolution of different system components

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

4Extent of automation

If carrier-centric service architecture is implemented, then network control is improved, but user service quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork controlVSAvoiduser service quality

Core Design Contradiction:

Extent of automationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent inverts the traditional carrier-centric architecture by making the user the center of the service model. The cloud server is user-owned or user-controlled, providing services directly to users without carrier intervention. This inversion shifts control from carriers to users while maintaining automated network operations through standardized interfaces

Inventive Principle:

Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)
