Solution Overview
Problem
Existing measurement devices lack the capability for remote operation and monitoring, limiting their ability to efficiently store, analyze, and share measurement data across distances without the need for physical proximity.
Innovation Solution
A measurement system comprising a measurement device with a data acquisition component, analog-to-digital converter, processor, and communications component for transmitting data, paired with a receiving device featuring a transceiver, processor, and display unit, enabling wireless communication and remote data visualization and control using technologies like WiFi, Bluetooth, or cellular connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If measurement data is displayed only on the measurement device display screen, then the device structure remains simple, but data accessibility and remote monitoring capability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the measurement data display function into two separate components: the measurement device that collects data and a remote receiving device that displays and analyzes data. This segmentation allows the measurement device to remain simple while enabling remote monitoring capabilities through the separate receiving device that receives data via communication protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
A communication interface acts as an intermediary between the measurement device and the receiving device. This intermediary component enables data transmission between devices without requiring complex integration, allowing remote monitoring while maintaining simplicity of individual device structures.
2Ease of operation
If the measurement device includes all processing and display functions, then data analysis capability is complete, but portability and remote operation are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments functionality between the measurement device (data acquisition) and the receiving device (data analysis and display). This division allows the measurement device to be portable and easy to operate remotely, while the receiving device handles complex data analysis tasks, preventing loss of analytical capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces physical co-location of measurement and analysis functions with wireless communication technology. Data is transmitted electronically from the measurement device to the receiving device, eliminating the need for physical proximity while maintaining complete data analysis capability at the receiving end.
3Loss of information
If measurement data is stored locally only, then data security is maintained, but data sharing and remote access are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The communication interface serves as a secure intermediary that enables controlled data transmission between devices. Data can be shared remotely through this mediated connection while maintaining security protocols, allowing data sharing capability without compromising security through uncontrolled access.
