Solution Overview

Problem

Existing radio sensing technologies lack the ability to control and manage radio sensing operations in specific spatial areas, potentially infringing on prohibited or sensitive spaces, raising privacy and regulatory concerns.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a system that determines and controls radio sensing spaces through configuration information, including prohibited, non-enhanced, and enhanced sensing spaces, using parameters like transmit power, angle, and frequency to manage radio sensing operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If radio sensing is performed without spatial control, then sensing coverage and detection capability are improved, but privacy infringement and regulatory compliance issues occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing detection capabilityVSAvoidprivacy infringement
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The sensing space is segmented into different types (prohibited sensing spaces, non-enhanced sensing spaces, enhanced sensing spaces) based on spatial location and regulatory requirements. This segmentation allows the system to apply different sensing control policies to different regions, enabling precise control over where sensing occurs while maintaining detection capabilities in authorized areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different sensing control characteristics are applied to different spatial regions. Prohibited spaces have sensing disabled, non-enhanced spaces have standard sensing, and enhanced spaces have improved sensing capabilities. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by providing strong sensing capability where needed while preventing intrusion into prohibited areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Object-affected harmful factors

If sensing control and regulation are implemented, then privacy protection and compliance are improved, but system complexity and control difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprivacy protectionVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Sensing configuration information is obtained in advance for different sensing space types before actual sensing operations begin. The system pre-establishes the classification of spaces and their corresponding control policies, so that when sensing needs to occur, the appropriate controls are already in place, reducing real-time computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

A control mechanism acts as an intermediary between the sensing system and the regulatory requirements. This intermediary component manages the complexity by interfacing with the sensing apparatus and enforcing spatial controls based on pre-obtained configuration information, shielding the user from the underlying complexity of compliance management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If enhanced sensing capabilities are applied in specific spaces, then detection performance is improved, but energy consumption and resource usage increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection performanceVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Enhanced sensing capabilities are selectively applied only in enhanced sensing spaces where they are most needed, rather than uniformly across all sensing areas. This localized application of enhanced capabilities allows the system to maintain high detection performance in critical zones while reducing overall energy consumption by avoiding unnecessary enhanced processing in prohibited or non-enhanced spaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
