Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices face challenges in accurately aligning their direction with a satellite for effective satellite communication due to discrepancies between the direction identified by sensors and the direction of the antenna, leading to difficulties in establishing a stable connection.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device provides screens for adjusting the azimuth and elevation angles to ensure they fall within specific ranges, guiding users to align the device intuitively with the satellite position, thereby improving directivity and connection stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the electronic device uses sensor-identified direction for satellite alignment, then the device can operate with standard sensor components, but the alignment accuracy deteriorates due to discrepancies between sensor direction and antenna direction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical sensor-based direction detection system with a computational approach. The processor calculates the actual antenna direction by compensating for the angular offset between sensor identification and antenna radiation direction, substituting physical alignment mechanisms with mathematical correction
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary computational layer (the processor) that mediates between the sensor output and the actual antenna direction. This intermediary calculates the corrected direction by applying offset compensation, serving as a bridge between the imperfect sensor measurement and the required accurate alignment
2Reliability
If the electronic device provides manual adjustment screens for azimuth and elevation angles, then the user can align the device with the satellite, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system monitors the current azimuth and elevation angles, compares them with target ranges, and provides real-time guidance to the user through screen displays. The system continuously adjusts its guidance based on whether the angles are within or outside the acceptable ranges, creating a closed-loop control that simplifies user operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary calculations to determine the optimal azimuth and elevation angle ranges for satellite connection before presenting them to the user. The system pre-computes the target ranges based on satellite position and device characteristics, so users only need to follow guidance rather than perform complex calculations
