Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If GPS and traditional location methods are used, then location accuracy is improved in open areas, but location determination fails in GPS-denied indoor areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocation accuracyVSAvoidlocation determination capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the location determination process into multiple independent methods: GPS-based location for outdoor areas, Wi-Fi triangulation for indoor areas with wireless access points, and cellular tower multilateration for areas with poor wireless signal penetration. Each method operates independently and can be selected based on the environment, allowing the system to maintain location accuracy across diverse settings including GPS-denied indoor areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If wireless signal penetration is poor in indoor locations, then network coverage is reduced, but infrastructure modification is required to improve it

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork coverageVSAvoidinfrastructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces wireless access points as intermediary devices that relay communication between user devices and the core network infrastructure. These access points can be strategically placed in indoor locations to improve wireless signal penetration without requiring modifications to the main network towers or core network architecture, thereby improving reliability while minimizing infrastructure complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes the spatial dimension by deploying distributed wireless access points at various locations within indoor environments. This creates multiple signal pathways and relays that bypass physical obstacles, improving network coverage in areas with poor signal penetration without requiring changes to the vertical or core network structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Productivity

If real-time network traffic monitoring is implemented, then network optimization is improved, but data collection requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork optimization efficiencyVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential location and traffic data elements needed for network optimization, such as user device locations, movement patterns, and network traffic density metrics. By filtering and selecting only the most relevant data points rather than collecting all possible telemetry information, the system achieves effective network optimization while managing data collection volumes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary data processing and filtering at the edge devices and access points before data is transmitted to the core network. Location data is pre-processed to identify movement patterns and traffic density trends, so that only aggregated and pre-analyzed information needs to be transmitted and stored, reducing the overall data volume while maintaining optimization effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A telemetry data computing engine may receive the telemetry data of a user device, via a network, and it may apply a machine learning algorithm to at least one telemetry data and generate a predicted location for the user device. The predicted location may be used to generate a location pattern for the user device and a user device profile for the user device. The user device profile may be routed to the wireless carrier core network.
