Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If traditional data analysis methods are used for radio connections, then comprehensive performance data can be collected, but the analysis becomes difficult and time-consuming due to large data volumes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveamount of performance dataVSAvoidease of performance analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical data analysis methods with augmented reality visualization. Instead of manually analyzing large volumes of radio connection data through conventional interfaces, the system transforms performance data into visual representations (signal waveforms, quality indicators) that can be intuitively perceived and analyzed through AR displays, thereby maintaining comprehensive data collection while dramatically improving analysis ease

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary visualization layer between the raw performance data and the analyst. This intermediary system processes comprehensive radio connection data and presents it through augmented reality interfaces that highlight key performance indicators and anomalies, enabling analysts to work with full data sets without being overwhelmed by volume

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If detailed performance data is monitored for all connections, then system problems can be detected, but the complexity of monitoring increases with the number of simultaneous connections

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection of system problemsVSAvoidcomplexity of monitoring system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs visual differentiation techniques where different signal qualities and connection states are represented through distinct visual characteristics in the augmented reality display. This allows the monitoring system to maintain detailed tracking of all connections while presenting information in a simplified, visually-differentiated format that reduces perceived complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the monitoring of large numbers of connections by presenting data in organized visual groups within the augmented reality interface. Connections are displayed with hierarchical organization and visual filtering capabilities, allowing operators to focus on specific segments or groups of connections without being overwhelmed by the total system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If radio signal parameters are analyzed in traditional formats, then engineering expertise is required for interpretation, but this slows down rapid response to performance issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of signal quality assessmentVSAvoidresponse time to performance issues
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional text-based or numerical signal parameter displays with augmented reality visualizations that intuitively represent signal quality. Signal waveforms, quality metrics, and anomaly detections are presented as visual patterns that can be rapidly perceived without requiring deep engineering knowledge to interpret, thereby maintaining measurement precision while enabling faster response

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses visual encoding where different signal quality levels and anomaly types are represented through distinct visual characteristics. This allows rapid visual assessment of signal conditions without requiring analysts to interpret complex numerical parameters, reducing response time while preserving accurate measurement capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

AI summary

A solution for radio signal analyzation in an apparatus in a radio access network, comprises receiving (408) continuously wirelessly from one or more transceivers radio frequency parameters related to one or more radio signals received or transmitted by the transceivers, the parameters designating the quality and properties of the radio signals. The one or more radio signals are transformed (410) to a corresponding number of signal wave forms having a given amplitude, frequency and smoothness where the amplitude, frequency and smoothness of each wave form is controlled based on the received radio frequency parameters of the corresponding signal. The one or more of the signal wave forms are displayed (412).
