Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing smart device control systems are implemented, then intelligent control and remote monitoring functions are provided, but the cost is high and functionality is incomplete

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into distinct functional modules: gateway device, cloud platform, and user terminal. Each module handles specific tasks (data collection, data processing/storage, and user interaction respectively), allowing the system to achieve comprehensive functionality while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The gateway device serves multiple functions including data collection from smart devices, data transmission to cloud platform, and local processing capabilities. The cloud platform provides both data storage and analytical processing functions, making the system versatile without requiring separate specialized components for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If existing smart device control systems are implemented, then remote control capability is provided, but the cost is high making it difficult to popularize

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote control capabilityVSAvoidcost
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The gateway device acts as an intermediary between smart devices and the cloud platform, performing data preprocessing and filtering before transmission. This reduces the burden on the cloud platform and network bandwidth, lowering overall system costs while maintaining ease of remote control operation for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements selective data transmission where only relevant and processed data is sent to the cloud platform, rather than transmitting all raw data. This partial action approach reduces communication costs and processing requirements, making the system more affordable while preserving essential remote control functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
