Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If satellite image services are provided through traditional methods, then service providers can deliver satellite images, but users face restrictions on time and occasion for accessing satellite image-based applications
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring and storing satellite images in advance in a database before users need them. The service provider periodically retrieves updated satellite images and stores them ready for access, eliminating the need for users to wait for image acquisition at the moment of need. This allows users to access images immediately without time restrictions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If satellite images are acquired and stored for all possible regions and times, then users can access images without time restrictions, but the quantity of data to be managed increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments satellite image data by dividing it into distinct regional databases or data sets. Each region's satellite images are stored separately, allowing the system to manage large volumes of data efficiently. Users can access only the segments relevant to their needs, reducing the effective data quantity handled while maintaining comprehensive coverage across multiple regions.
3Reliability
If the service provider maintains a comprehensive satellite image database for various regions, then users can receive images for desired regions, but the complexity of data management and service delivery increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary database that acts as a mediator between satellite image acquisition sources and end users. This database receives, stores, and manages satellite images from multiple regions, then provides them to users upon request. The intermediary simplifies the overall system complexity by centralizing data management functions and providing a standardized access interface.
