Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a satellite imaging service is provided to ordinary individuals and companies, then accessibility and ease of operation are improved, but system complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a ground control station as an intermediary between users and satellites. This mediator handles complex satellite operations, orbit calculations, and imaging coordination, allowing ordinary users to access satellite imaging services through a simplified interface without needing to understand the underlying complex systems
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual model of the satellite orbit and position on a map display. By copying and visualizing the satellite's trajectory and current position on a 2D map interface, users can easily understand and interact with satellite location information without dealing with complex 3D orbital mechanics
2Measurement precision
If real-time satellite position and time information are synchronously displayed, then measurement precision and reliability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the map display unit and time information display unit into a single integrated interface. The satellite position on the map and the time information are displayed together in a coordinated manner, allowing users to understand both spatial and temporal information simultaneously without needing separate complex systems
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously updates the satellite position on the map and synchronizes it with time information display. This real-time feedback mechanism ensures that users always see accurate, up-to-date satellite location and timing data, improving measurement precision through continuous monitoring and synchronization
