Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If all coordinate samples are stored to ensure complete route information, then route accuracy is maintained, but data storage requirements and computational overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveroute accuracyVSAvoiddata storage requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential coordinate pairs that define meaningful changes in route direction or position, discarding redundant intermediate points. This is achieved by comparing consecutive coordinate pairs and identifying those that represent significant navigational decisions, thereby maintaining route accuracy while reducing data storage requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of coordinate representation by filtering and selecting only critical coordinate pairs based on spatial and temporal thresholds. Instead of storing all raw coordinate samples, the system transforms the data set to include only those points that meet specific criteria for route definition, reducing data quantity while preserving essential route information.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the critical coordinate pairs that need to be processed for route optimization, eliminating redundant calculations on intermediate points. By identifying and processing only the essential coordinates that define route changes, the system maintains high route quality while reducing computational overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial processing by focusing computational resources only on the critical coordinate pairs that significantly impact route quality, rather than processing all coordinate samples equally. This selective approach ensures that the most important route decisions are optimized while avoiding unnecessary computational expenditure on redundant data.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameter of data representation by transforming the complete set of coordinate samples into a filtered set of critical coordinate pairs. This parameter change involves applying spatial and temporal threshold criteria to identify which coordinates are essential for route completeness, thereby improving data efficiency without sacrificing necessary route information.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback mechanisms to verify that discarded coordinate pairs do not contain essential route information. By comparing the original coordinate set with the filtered set and evaluating route reconstruction accuracy, the system ensures that information completeness is maintained while achieving data efficiency through redundant data removal.

Inventive Principle:

The system extracts only the essential coordinate pairs needed for accurate route reconstruction, removing redundant data that consumes memory. By identifying coordinates that represent significant route changes and retaining only those, the system maintains high route fidelity while reducing memory usage requirements.

Inventive Principle:
