Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If communication and sensing services are provided without sensor data processing, then device complexity is reduced, but communication performance and sensing performance deteriorate due to motion, position, and environmental factors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication performance and sensing performanceVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A sensor data processing system is introduced as an intermediary component that receives sensor measurement results from terminal devices, processes them to obtain motion, position, and environmental information, and then provides this processed information to communication and sensing services. This intermediary approach allows the core services to focus on their primary functions while performance degradation from external factors is addressed through the dedicated processing layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system architecture is segmented into distinct functional modules: sensor data acquisition module, sensor data processing module, and service execution module. This segmentation allows each module to handle specific tasks independently, improving overall system reliability by isolating processing complexities from core communication and sensing functions while maintaining clear data flow between components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If sensor data is processed to improve communication and sensing performance, then service reliability is improved, but information processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice reliabilityVSAvoidinformation processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Sensor data processing is performed in advance before the actual communication and sensing services execute. The system pre-processes sensor measurement results to obtain motion, position, and environmental information, so that when the services need this information, it is already ready. This preliminary action reduces the processing time burden during service execution while maintaining high service reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If comprehensive sensor data processing is implemented, then adaptability to various communication and sensing scenarios is improved, but device complexity and processing overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to communication and sensing scenariosVSAvoidprocessing overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sensor data processing system applies different processing levels and methods tailored to specific local needs of different communication and sensing scenarios. Rather than uniformly processing all sensor data, the system selectively processes only the relevant parameters (motion, position, environmental) for each specific service requirement, reducing overall processing overhead while maintaining high adaptability to various scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
