Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional monitoring network system is built by excavating roads to set poles and wires, then monitoring coverage can be achieved, but construction cost and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies multi-functionality by enabling street lamps to serve dual purposes: traditional illumination and data transmission carrier. The street lamps are equipped with communication modules that allow them to function as both light sources and network nodes, eliminating the need for separate monitoring infrastructure and thereby improving construction efficiency while maintaining monitoring coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The system utilizes existing street lamp infrastructure to provide data transmission services without requiring additional dedicated poles or wires. By repurposing already-deployed street lamps as communication carriers, the system leverages existing infrastructure to reduce construction costs and time while achieving the same monitoring coverage.

3Productivity
If existing street lamps are used as data transmission carriers with simple modifications, then construction cost and time are reduced, but system complexity increases due to integrating multiple components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functional components into an integrated street lamp system. Data collection components, street lamps with communication modules, repeaters, and hubs are combined into a unified network where each component serves multiple functions. This integration reduces the overall number of separate systems needed while managing complexity through standardized communication protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces repeaters and hubs as intermediary devices that simplify network management. These intermediaries handle data routing and communication protocols, reducing the complexity burden on individual street lamps while maintaining overall system efficiency and enabling scalable deployment.
