Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If satellite information is received and stored in raw data form, then the quantity of satellite information is increased, but the ease of operation for users to access suitable data is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of satellite informationVSAvoidease of access to suitable satellite data
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preprocessing operations on satellite information before storage, including classification by utilization field (national defense, disaster, smart city), generation of standard images from raw data, and organization into structured formats. This preliminary action enables users to directly access processed information without needing to perform complex preprocessing themselves, resolving the contradiction between increasing data quantity and maintaining ease of access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces an intermediary processing system that acts as a mediator between raw satellite data and end users. This intermediary performs automatic classification, standard image generation, and organization by utilization field, transforming raw data into user-friendly formats. The intermediary resolves the contradiction by handling the complexity of data processing internally while presenting simplified access interfaces to users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If satellite information is processed and classified into multiple categories, then the adaptability for different utilization fields is improved, but the device complexity of the processing system is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different utilization fieldsVSAvoidcomplexity of processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The processing system is segmented into distinct functional modules: a reception processing unit for demodulation and preprocessing, a standard image generator for creating standardized outputs, and an application processing unit for classification by utilization field. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple utilization fields (national defense, disaster, smart city) through specialized modules rather than a monolithic complex system, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a universal processing framework that handles multiple utilization fields through a common architecture. The system uses standardized processing pipelines that can be applied across different fields (national defense, disaster management, smart city), reducing the need for field-specific complex systems. The universal framework achieves multi-functionality while controlling overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Manufacturing precision

If demodulation and preprocessing are performed on satellite data, then the quality of satellite information is improved, but the loss of time for processing is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality of satellite informationVSAvoidtime for processing satellite data
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs demodulation and preprocessing operations as preliminary actions during the initial reception phase, before the data is made available to users. By completing these time-consuming processing operations in advance and storing the processed results, the system ensures high data quality is achieved without requiring users to wait for processing during their access operations, thus resolving the contradiction between quality improvement and time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
