Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional monitoring systems are used based on old generation power system design, then system structure is maintained, but user interaction effectiveness deteriorates and operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction effectivenessVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The monitoring system is segmented into multiple functional modules including alarm information acquisition module, alarm information processing module, alarm display module, and alarm sound alarm module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, simplifying the overall system structure and improving user interaction by presenting information in organized, manageable segments rather than a monolithic complex interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The alarm information processing module performs multiple functions including decoding alarm codes, determining alarm levels, and generating alarm information. The system can handle various types of electronic devices and alarm types universally through standardized processing, reducing operation complexity while maintaining versatility across different device types.

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

2Reliability

If real-time monitoring of multiple electronic devices is implemented, then monitoring capability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time monitoring capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments monitoring of multiple devices by creating separate alarm information acquisition channels for each device while using a unified processing module. This allows real-time monitoring of multiple devices simultaneously without proportionally increasing system complexity, as the same processing logic is applied to each device's alarm data independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses standardized alarm code structures and processing routines that can be copied and applied to multiple different electronic devices. By establishing universal alarm code formats and processing algorithms, the system can monitor numerous devices without requiring unique complex processing logic for each device, thereby maintaining reliability while controlling complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Loss of information

If alarm information from multiple devices is consolidated, then information completeness is improved, but information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Alarm information from multiple devices is segmented by alarm level (first level, second level, third level) and alarm type, with each segment processed and displayed separately. The alarm display module presents information in hierarchical segments, ensuring complete information is conveyed while reducing processing complexity through structured organization rather than handling all alarm data as a single undifferentiated stream.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different alarm information is processed with different levels of detail and priority based on its local characteristics. First level alarms receive immediate processing and prominent display, while third level alarms are processed with less urgency. This local quality approach ensures complete information is captured and processed appropriately according to each alarm's specific nature and severity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
