Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual calculations are used for measuring and processing multiple spaces, then measurement flexibility is maintained, but processing efficiency and productivity are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically calculates area, perimeter, and volume attributes of spaces and target areas without requiring manual intervention. The processor autonomously processes trajectory data, performs geometric calculations, and generates measurement results, eliminating the need for manual computations while maintaining operational simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical calculation methods with automated electronic processing. The system uses a processor to automatically compute geometric attributes from trajectory data, substituting human manual operations with electronic computation to significantly improve processing efficiency
2Adaptability or versatility
If simple trajectory measurement is used, then ease of operation is maintained, but the ability to handle complex planning tasks and combined spaces is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system is designed to perform multiple functions including trajectory measurement, area calculation, perimeter calculation, volume calculation, and graphical interface presentation. It can handle various space configurations (overlapping, adjacent, contained) and provide comprehensive measurement capabilities for different planning tasks, making it a universal tool for complex planning applications
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the measurement system into distinct functional modules: trajectory data acquisition, space identification, attribute calculation (area, perimeter, volume), and graphical interface presentation. This segmentation allows the system to handle complex tasks by processing them in discrete steps while maintaining overall system manageability
3Productivity
If automated space combination and attribute calculation are implemented, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes the geometric relationships between multiple spaces and defines the calculation logic for combining them into target areas. By preparing the spatial data structure and calculation algorithms in advance, the system enables rapid automated processing when measurements are needed, improving productivity without proportionally increasing operational complexity
