Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional telephone systems are used to connect users, then real-time communication is achieved, but trust verification and social network integration are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a session border controller as an intermediary component that bridges the packet switched network and telecommunication servers. This mediator enables trust verification through social network integration without requiring direct modification of traditional telephone systems, thus improving reliability while managing complexity through modular architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The session border controller serves multiple functions: it interfaces with packet switched networks, connects to telecommunication servers, enables social network verification, and facilitates real-time communication routing. This multi-functionality improves trust verification capabilities without proportionally increasing system complexity
2Productivity
If web servers present questions to multiple users and facilitate connections, then commerce and communication effectiveness are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into distinct functional components: web servers for question presentation and user management, session border controllers for network interfacing, and telecommunication servers for call management. This segmentation improves communication effectiveness by assigning specialized functions to each component while keeping overall complexity manageable through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The session border controller acts as a mediator between the web server infrastructure and traditional telecommunication networks. It translates between packet switched data protocols and circuit switched voice protocols, enabling effective communication facilitation without requiring the entire system to be redesigned
3Adaptability or versatility
If packet switched networks are used for voice communication, then flexibility and data integration are improved, but call connection reliability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The session border controller serves as a critical intermediary that receives flexible packet switched network connections and translates them into stable circuit switched telecommunication connections. This mediator preserves the adaptability benefits of packet networks while ensuring the reliability needed for voice communications through protocol conversion and connection management
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the flexibility of packet switched networks with the reliability of traditional telecommunication servers. By combining these two network types through the session border controller, the system achieves both adaptability for data integration and stability for call connections
