Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If sensing service capability exposure information is not effectively exposed and managed, then sensing service data remains inaccessible and unusable within mobile networks, but implementing comprehensive exposure mechanisms increases system complexity

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccessibility of sensing service dataVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a sensing function as an intermediary component that manages capability exposure information. This sensing function acts as a mediator between sensing services and network elements, centralizing the exposure management task and avoiding the need for complex distributed exposure mechanisms across the entire network.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the capability exposure information into distinct components: sensing service capability information, exposure scope information, and access control information. This segmentation allows for organized management and selective exposure of sensing capabilities to specific network elements, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining accessibility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If comprehensive sensing service capability exposure is implemented, then more devices can access sensing data, but access control and security management become more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenumber of accessing devicesVSAvoidaccess control security

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by defining specific exposure scopes for different sensing capabilities. Instead of uniform access control, the system specifies which network elements can access which sensing services based on local requirements and policies, enabling fine-grained security management that maintains reliability while supporting multiple accessing devices.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the sensing function monitors and manages access requests to capability exposure information. This feedback loop allows the system to authenticate and authorize accessing devices dynamically, ensuring security while maintaining the ability to serve multiple devices with different access rights.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback
