Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If complicated signal analysis or complex structures with laser positioning rods and angular displacement sensors are used, then positioning accuracy is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential positioning function from complex systems by using only a ranging apparatus to measure distances between reference objects and target objects. It removes unnecessary components like laser positioning rods and angular displacement sensors, keeping only the critical distance measurement capability while achieving positioning through mathematical calculation based on measured distances and predetermined rules.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual model of the target space by calculating relative positions of target objects based on distance measurements. Instead of using complex physical positioning mechanisms, it copies the spatial relationships through mathematical computation, determining position coordinates through formulas that relate measured distances to position information.
2Measurement precision
If complicated signal analysis or complex structures with laser positioning rods and angular displacement sensors are used, then positioning accuracy is improved, but operation difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by automatically calculating position coordinates through predetermined rules and measured distances. The ranging apparatus performs the positioning computation autonomously without requiring complex manual operations or signal analysis procedures. Users simply need to input distance measurements and select positioning rules, while the system handles the complex calculations automatically.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing positioning rules and calculation formulas before actual positioning operations. The predetermined rules define how distance measurements translate to position coordinates, so that during operation, users only need to provide measured values without performing complex analysis or manual calculations.
3Measurement precision
If existing ranging and positioning methods are used, then positioning functionality is achieved, but cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the ranging apparatus universal by enabling it to perform both distance measurement and positioning functions using the same basic component. Instead of requiring separate laser positioning rods and angular displacement sensors, the single ranging apparatus measures distances that are then converted to position information through predetermined rules, making the system more versatile and cost-effective.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces expensive, complex positioning components with a simpler, more affordable ranging apparatus. By using basic distance measurement combined with computational methods, the system achieves positioning functionality at lower cost, effectively substituting expensive hardware with cheaper measurement and calculation approaches.
