Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If GPS tracking devices and surveillance cameras are deployed to monitor student location and safety, then student safety and family confidence are enhanced, but system complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines GPS tracking devices, surveillance cameras, mobile applications, and dashboard monitoring into a single integrated student safety system. The GPS tracker and camera system work together with the mobile app and dashboard to provide comprehensive monitoring, where location data and video footage are correlated to enhance safety without requiring separate independent systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile application serves multiple functions including receiving GPS location updates, displaying surveillance camera feeds, sending notifications to parents, and providing emergency contact capabilities. The dashboard also performs multiple roles by tracking student locations, monitoring camera feeds, and communicating with both students and parents, reducing the need for separate specialized devices.
2Measurement precision
If real-time GPS tracking and surveillance monitoring are implemented, then student location accuracy and safety monitoring are improved, but data processing requirements and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system updates student location information periodically rather than continuously in real-time. The mobile application receives location updates at scheduled intervals from the GPS tracking device, and the dashboard refreshes student positions at regular periods. This periodic update mechanism maintains adequate location accuracy while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous real-time tracking.
