Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a single-stage interference detection method is used, then the detection process is simple, but the detection accuracy is insufficient to handle complex interference environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference detection accuracyVSAvoiddetection processing architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interference detection process is divided into multiple stages, where each stage performs specific detection tasks with different time granularities. The first stage uses coarse time granularity for initial interference identification, while subsequent stages use finer granularities for precise characterization, thereby improving overall detection accuracy without requiring all stages to operate at maximum complexity simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic time granularity adjustment across detection stages. Each stage can be configured with different time window lengths and sampling rates adapted to the specific detection requirements. This allows the system to optimize the balance between processing speed and detection precision for different interference types and scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If multi-stage detection processing is implemented, then interference detection accuracy is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference detection accuracyVSAvoiddetection processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The detection process is segmented into stages with different time granularities, allowing parallel processing and early termination. Once interference is detected at a coarse stage, finer stages can be selectively executed only when necessary, reducing overall processing time while maintaining high accuracy for complex interference patterns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial detection actions at coarser time granularities first, and only executes more computationally intensive fine-grained analysis when the coarse detection indicates potential interference. This selective execution approach significantly reduces average processing time while maintaining detection accuracy for genuine interference cases

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If data is collected at high frequency and high dimension, then detection precision is improved, but data processing complexity and storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference detection precisionVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data collection into multiple passes with different resolution levels. Coarse-grained data is collected first for initial analysis, then refined through subsequent passes. This hierarchical data collection approach reduces the immediate processing burden while preserving the ability to achieve high detection precision through progressive refinement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms high-dimensional, high-frequency data into a multi-resolution representation across different time dimensions. By projecting data onto coarser time grids in earlier stages and refining in later stages, the system manages data complexity through dimensional transformation rather than directly processing all high-dimensional data simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
