Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a sensing service is requested through an application processor in a terminal device, then the sensing service can be executed, but power consumption increases and processing speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a separate sensing processing device as an intermediary between the application processor and sensing modules. This mediator handles sensing data acquisition and processing independently, allowing the application processor to offload sensing tasks and reduce power consumption while maintaining sensing service functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the terminal device into distinct functional modules: an application processor for high-level control, a separate sensing processing device for sensing data handling, and multiple sensing modules. This segmentation allows each component to operate independently and efficiently, preventing the application processor from being bottlenecked by sensing tasks.
2Reliability
If sensing data is processed through the application processor, then sensing services can be provided, but processing speed becomes a bottleneck
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the processing architecture by creating a dedicated sensing processing device separate from the application processor. This allows sensing data processing to occur in parallel without blocking the application processor, thereby improving overall processing speed and eliminating the bottleneck.
Solution Approach 2:
The sensing processing device acts as an intermediary that pre-processes sensing data before passing it to the application processor. This intermediate processing step accelerates data preparation and reduces the burden on the application processor, improving end-to-end processing speed.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sensing modules are integrated into a terminal device, then sensing functionality is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple sensing modules under a unified sensing processing device that handles data from all sensors. This consolidation provides centralized management and processing, reducing the complexity that would arise from having separate processing paths for each sensing module while maintaining enhanced sensing functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The sensing processing device is designed as a universal processor that can handle data from various types of sensing modules (accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnets, etc.). This multi-functional approach allows the system to support diverse sensing capabilities without requiring dedicated processing logic for each sensor type, thereby managing complexity.
4Device complexity
If sensing modules are directly connected to the application processor, then data transmission is simple, but power consumption and processing burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inserts a sensing processing device as an intermediary layer between the sensing modules and the application processor. This mediator handles data acquisition and preliminary processing, reducing the communication burden and power consumption associated with direct connections, while maintaining a manageable connection structure.
