Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional methods are used for configuring radio subnetworks in complex environments, then basic configuration can be achieved, but efficient planning, controlling and monitoring of feature configuration becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates digital twins as virtual copies of physical entities (vehicles, infrastructure elements) and their radio subnetworks. These digital twins enable virtual configuration, simulation, and optimization without affecting actual physical systems, thereby improving configuration efficiency while managing complexity through virtualization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a configuration server as an intermediary between physical entities and their radio subnetwork configurations. This server coordinates configuration tasks, manages digital twins, and orchestrates the overall configuration process, making the complex system manageable through centralized coordination

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If body shapes are used to represent radio subnetwork coverage areas, then spatial relationships and intersections can be visualized, but the complexity of determining configurations based on intersections increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespatial relationship visibilityVSAvoidconfiguration determination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex geometric intersection analysis with a simplified event-driven approach. Instead of continuously calculating intersections between body shapes, the system uses an intersection event detector that triggers configuration updates only when intersections occur, substituting continuous mathematical computation with discrete event processing

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the essential spatial relationship information (intersections of body shapes) from the complex geometric data and uses only this extracted information to trigger configuration events. This filtering approach reduces the complexity by focusing only on relevant spatial changes rather than processing all geometric details

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Productivity

If real-time monitoring and optimization of radio subnetwork configurations is implemented, then configuration efficiency improves, but computing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time configuration managementVSAvoidcomputing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic configuration updates triggered by intersection events rather than continuous real-time monitoring. The system monitors for specific events (body shape intersections) and updates configurations only when these events occur, converting continuous computation into periodic, event-driven updates that reduce overall computing resource consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary configuration planning and optimization in the digital twin environment before applying changes to physical systems. This allows computation-intensive operations to be performed virtually on digital copies, reducing the computing burden on the actual radio subnetwork infrastructure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
