Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If received signal power prediction is performed using past measured values in static environments, then prediction accuracy is improved, but the system fails to handle dynamic environments with moving objects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidenvironment adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from static environment assumptions to dynamic environment handling. The system now predicts terminal position at future time points and incorporates moving objects as obstacles in the prediction model, enabling accurate signal power prediction in dynamic environments where both the terminal and obstacles are in motion

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by predicting the terminal's future position before actual signal measurement occurs. The system calculates the predicted position at time T based on current position and movement information, then uses this predicted position to estimate signal power, effectively preparing the prediction model in advance for future conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If moving objects are considered in signal power prediction, then prediction accuracy in dynamic environments is improved, but system complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the prediction system into distinct functional modules: terminal information acquisition unit, terminal position prediction unit, estimated value acquisition unit, and received signal power prediction unit. Each module handles a specific aspect of the prediction process, making the complex system more manageable and easier to implement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies the intermediary principle by introducing a predicted position as an intermediate parameter. Instead of directly modeling complex interactions between moving terminal and obstacles, the system uses the predicted position as a mediator to simplify the signal power estimation process, reducing computational complexity while maintaining accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
