Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If satellite-based communication is used for resource transmission, then network availability and transmission capability are improved in remote areas, but device complexity and power consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork availabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a satellite communication component as an intermediary between the user device and the network infrastructure. This component enables communication in remote areas where traditional cellular networks are unavailable, effectively acting as a mediator that bridges the gap between isolated devices and the broader network system.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The satellite communication component is designed to work alongside existing cellular and wireless communication methods, creating a universal communication system that can operate across multiple network types. The device can automatically switch between satellite, cellular, and wireless modes depending on availability, making the communication system adaptable to various environments without requiring entirely separate devices.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If satellite-based communication component is integrated into user device, then transmission capability in remote areas is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetransmission capabilityVSAvoidpower consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The satellite communication component operates dynamically, activating only when traditional cellular or wireless networks are unavailable. The system continuously monitors network availability and switches to satellite mode selectively, rather than maintaining constant satellite connectivity. This dynamic operation significantly reduces power consumption compared to continuous satellite communication while ensuring transmission capability when needed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor the status of cellular and wireless networks, and based on this feedback, determine when to activate the satellite communication component. This feedback-driven approach ensures the satellite system is only powered when necessary, optimizing the balance between transmission capability and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Area of stationary object

If data is transmitted via satellite, then network coverage is improved, but transmission speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork coverageVSAvoidtransmission speed

Core Design Contradiction:

Area of stationary objectVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the communication traffic into different types and prioritizes them accordingly. Critical, time-sensitive data is transmitted through available high-speed cellular or wireless networks when possible, while less time-critical data is routed through satellite communication. This segmentation allows the system to maintain broad network coverage via satellite while minimizing the impact of slower satellite speeds on overall transmission performance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses satellite communication partially, only for the portion of data transmission that cannot be handled by faster cellular or wireless networks. Rather than using satellite for all communications, the system applies satellite capacity selectively to non-critical data, accepting slower speeds only where necessary to maintain comprehensive coverage.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action
