Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a magnetic strip is used for binary storage, then data security and reliability are improved, but the complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical or optical storage systems with a magnetic field-based binary storage system. The magnetic strip uses magnetic fields to represent binary data (0s and 1s), eliminating the need for complex mechanical read/write mechanisms while achieving reliable data storage and security.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical state parameter of the storage medium from mechanical/optical to magnetic. By using magnetic field strength and direction (upward or downward magnetic fields) to represent binary states, the system achieves reliable data storage with simpler hardware requirements compared to mechanical or optical systems.
2Measurement precision
If magnetism is used to read and write binary code, then reading accuracy is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the magnetic strip into discrete magnetic domains, where each domain represents a single binary digit (0 or 1). This segmentation allows for clear distinction between magnetic states (upward or downward fields) and simplifies both the manufacturing process and the reading mechanism, reducing the precision requirements compared to continuous storage systems.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of requiring extremely precise control of magnetic field strength during manufacturing, the patent inverts the approach by using clear binary states (upward or downward magnetic fields) that are easier to manufacture and read. The reading process detects these clear binary states rather than measuring subtle variations, thereby reducing manufacturing precision requirements while maintaining high reading accuracy.
