Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual manpower is used to reconfigure crowd control areas and convey information, then the system can be简单地 implemented, but the productivity is low and adaptability to changing conditions is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of crowd control area managementVSAvoidcomplexity of semantic sensing system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables autonomous reconfiguration of crowd control areas by using sensors to detect objects and infer semantics, with the processor automatically determining affirmative and non-affirmative circumstances and directing semantic augmentation to supervisors, eliminating the need for continuous manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical reconfiguration with an automated sensing and processing system that uses wireless communication enabled devices, sensors, and semantic analysis algorithms to dynamically adjust crowd control areas based on detected conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual intervention is used to manage dynamic environments, then the system is easy to operate, but the adaptability to changing circumstances is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to changing conditionsVSAvoidneed for manual intervention
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors the environment using sensors, processes the detected data through semantic analysis, and automatically adjusts crowd control area configurations based on the inferred semantics and determined circumstances, creating a closed-loop adaptive system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic reconfiguration of crowd control areas by enabling the system to respond in real-time to changing conditions through sensor detection and semantic processing, allowing the configuration to adapt automatically rather than remaining static

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Extent of automation

If semantic analysis with entropy determination is implemented, then the system can autonomously determine circumstances, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautonomous determination of circumstancesVSAvoidcomplexity of semantic processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The processor acts as an intermediary that receives sensor inputs, applies semantic drift or entropy to determine circumstances, and directs semantic augmentation to supervisors, simplifying the overall system architecture by centralizing the complex semantic processing function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
