Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional repeater is used to forward wireless signals, then the communication range is enlarged and signal stability is improved, but the device volume becomes very large, movability deteriorates, and cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal stabilityVSAvoidmovability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the repeater function into two separate portable terminals, each performing specific functions (one receives and demodulates, the other modulates and transmits). This segmentation allows each terminal to be smaller and more mobile while collectively providing the repeater functionality, resolving the contradiction between signal stability and movability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses two portable terminals that replicate the functionality of a conventional repeater system. By copying the repeater function into standard terminal hardware, the system achieves similar signal forwarding capability with improved mobility and reduced individual device size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Length of stationary object

If a conventional repeater is used to forward wireless signals, then the communication range is enlarged, but the device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication rangeVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the portable terminals universal by enabling them to perform multiple functions: normal terminal operations plus repeater functions. The terminals can switch between receiving, transmitting, and forwarding modes, eliminating the need for separate dedicated repeater hardware and reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the operational parameters of standard terminal hardware to achieve repeater functionality. By adjusting operation modes and using existing processing capabilities, the system extends communication range without adding complex dedicated hardware, thus reducing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Duration of action of stationary object

If a conventional repeater operates in an unattended state for a very long time, then the communication coverage is maintained, but the heat dissipation requirements and reliability demands become much higher

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation durationVSAvoidheat dissipation reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic operation modes where the terminals can actively manage their states. Rather than static unattended operation, the system can dynamically adjust processing activity, switching between terminals to reduce thermal load while maintaining continuous coverage, thus addressing heat dissipation reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
