Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If pet physiological information is collected and integrated via a remote server, then information asymmetry between owners and hospitals is reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A remote server acts as an intermediary platform that collects physiological information from wearable devices, processes it, and shares relevant data between pet owners and veterinarians. This mediator consolidates information flow in one location, reducing asymmetry without requiring direct complex integration between all parties' systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote server performs multiple functions including data collection from wearable devices, information processing, care reminder generation, and communication facilitation between owners and hospitals. By consolidating these diverse functions in a single universal platform, system complexity is managed while achieving comprehensive information integration.
2Reliability
If real-time physiological monitoring is implemented, then pet health management quality is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable device collects physiological information periodically rather than continuously, transmitting data at scheduled intervals to the remote server. This periodic sampling maintains reliable health monitoring while significantly reducing the energy consumption compared to continuous real-time transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically processes and analyzes physiological data at the remote server without requiring constant owner intervention or activation. The automated care reminder generation and status updates enable the system to serve itself, maintaining high reliability while minimizing the energy required for manual operations.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive pet status information is provided to mobile carriers, then care decision quality is improved, but data transmission load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The remote server extracts and processes only the most relevant physiological information from the complete dataset, generating condensed pet status updates and care reminders. This extraction of essential information provides veterinarians and owners with precise care decision-making data while minimizing the volume of data that needs to be transmitted to mobile carriers.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transforms raw physiological parameters into processed pet status levels and care priority indicators. By changing the parameter representation from detailed numerical data to categorized status information, the system maintains measurement precision for care decisions while significantly reducing data transmission requirements.

Data Source
AI summary
A pet health management system comprising: a wearable sensing device, a mobile carrier, and a remote server. The wearable sensing device acquires environmental and physiological information of a pet and transmits the information to the mobile carrier. The wearable sensing device includes a microwave receiver for acquiring the physiological information. The remote server stores owner information and pet physiological information, receives the physiological and environmental information from the mobile carrier, updates the pet physiological information based on the physiological and environmental information, and generates and returns a pet status to the mobile carrier.
