A sensor device equipped with a sensor subsystem and interface subsystem that utilizes a robust communication channel with multiple paths, allowing for resilient data transmission and command execution through manual or automatic path selection, and supports scanning for various communication protocols and environmental aspects, with a remote device providing user control and data presentation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a single wireless communication path is used for data transmission and command execution, then the system structure is simple, but the system becomes vulnerable to communication disruptions and interference
Solution Approach 1:
The communication channel is segmented into multiple independent paths (first communication path and second communication path) that can operate simultaneously. Each path can transmit data and commands separately, allowing the system to maintain communication even if one path experiences disruption or interference.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication system is designed with multi-functionality by enabling both paths to handle the same types of data and commands. The processor can selectively use either path for scanning operations, command transmission, or data reception, making the system adaptable to varying communication conditions without requiring path-specific specialized components.
2Reliability
If multiple communication paths are implemented to ensure robust communication, then communication resilience improves, but the complexity of managing and selecting between paths increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically manages communication path selection without requiring manual intervention. The processor monitors communication quality and autonomously determines which path to use for scanning operations, command transmission, or data reception based on real-time conditions, eliminating the need for user involvement in path management.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes communication parameters by switching between different paths based on signal strength, interference levels, and operational requirements. The processor adjusts which path is active for specific tasks, allowing optimal communication performance to adapt to changing environmental conditions.
3Productivity
If the sensor device operates autonomously without remote control, then operational speed increases, but the ability to perform targeted scanning for specific communication protocols decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by receiving advance commands from the remote device specifying which communication protocols or environmental features to scan for. These pre-programmed scanning parameters enable the sensor device to operate autonomously at high speed while maintaining targeted scanning capability, as the scan objectives are established before execution begins.
