Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a fixed sensing algorithm is used in imaging devices, then the device structure remains simple, but the sensing accuracy deteriorates under varying environmental conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic algorithm selection by enabling the sensing system to automatically switch between multiple sensing algorithms based on real-time environmental conditions. The control unit evaluates current conditions and selects the most appropriate algorithm, transforming the system from static to dynamic operation to maintain high sensing accuracy across varying environments without requiring hardware changes
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes software parameters by selecting different sensing algorithms based on environmental conditions. Instead of modifying hardware or creating entirely new systems, the invention changes the computational parameters (algorithm selection) to adapt to different sensing scenarios, achieving improved accuracy through parameter variation rather than structural complexity
2Measurement precision
If multiple sensing algorithms are prepared for different conditions, then sensing accuracy improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent achieves universality by designing a control unit that can execute multiple different sensing algorithms within a single integrated system. This multi-functional approach allows one device to adapt to various environmental conditions by selecting appropriate algorithms, providing broad environmental adaptability without requiring separate specialized devices for each condition
3Adaptability or versatility
If software is updated to add new functions, then device functionality improves, but compatibility with existing systems may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-preparing multiple sensing algorithms that are compatible with the system architecture before deployment. The control unit is designed in advance to handle algorithm selection and switching, ensuring that new functionality (multiple algorithms) is added while maintaining compatibility with existing system structures and operations
