Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If sensors process raw data using recognition algorithms to obtain abstract data, then data processing efficiency is improved, but recognition accuracy deteriorates when abstract data is inconsistent with the real situation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoidrecognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the processing unit determines whether abstract data from sensors is consistent with the real situation by comparing it with actual scenario data. When inconsistency is detected, the processing unit sends feedback to the sensor to optimize the recognition algorithm. This closed-loop feedback system resolves the contradiction by enabling continuous improvement of recognition accuracy while maintaining efficient data processing through algorithm optimization rather than brute-force reprocessing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by having the processing unit pre-determine the consistency between abstract data and real situations before final decision-making. The processing unit prepares feedback information in advance that indicates what corrections are needed, allowing sensors to optimize their recognition algorithms proactively rather than reactively. This preliminary assessment prevents propagation of inaccurate abstract data through the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If sensors continuously optimize recognition algorithms to improve accuracy, then recognition accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces the processing unit as an intermediary that mediates between sensors and the optimization process. Instead of sensors directly and continuously optimizing their own algorithms (which would increase sensor complexity), the processing unit acts as a central coordinator that receives abstract data, determines consistency with reality, generates optimization feedback, and sends it back to sensors. This distributes complexity to a dedicated processing unit while keeping sensors relatively simple data collection devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If bidirectional data transmission is implemented between sensors and processing unit, then recognition accuracy is improved through feedback, but loss of time increases due to additional communication overhead

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition accuracyVSAvoidcommunication time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential feedback information needed for optimization from the full data processing cycle. Instead of continuous bidirectional communication of all data, the processing unit extracts and transmits only the specific consistency determination results and optimization indications back to sensors. This minimal extraction approach reduces communication overhead and time loss while still providing the necessary feedback for accuracy improvement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
