Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple smart home devices with different intelligence levels are deployed, then the smart home system becomes more functional, but the utilization rate decreases due to lack of unified control
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a unified control system where a single terminal can manage multiple smart home devices with different intelligence levels. The terminal serves as a universal controller that adapts to various device types and capabilities, enabling centralized management while maintaining high utilization rates through coordinated control of all devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a terminal as an intermediary device between the user and multiple smart home devices. This terminal acts as a mediator that receives user commands and distributes appropriate control instructions to different devices, enabling unified control without requiring direct interaction with each individual device and thereby improving overall system utilization.
2Extent of automation
If AI-based smart home devices are implemented, then intelligence level increases, but system complexity increases making unified control difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the smart home system into distinct functional layers: AI-based devices handle intelligent processing and decision-making, while a simpler terminal handles unified control and coordination. This segmentation allows high-intelligence devices to operate autonomously while the terminal provides centralized management, reducing overall system complexity through clear division of responsibilities.
