Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If visual aiming is used to adjust the launch angle of the drone countermeasure device, then the user can attempt to aim at the UAV, but the accuracy deteriorates due to distance, UAV speed, and environmental factors like sunlight, rain, wind and sand

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaiming accuracyVSAvoidenvironmental factors
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an automated tracking and aiming system as an intermediary between the user and the drone countermeasure device. This system includes a detection device that automatically detects UAV position and coordinates, and an automated aiming mechanism that adjusts the launch angle based on detected information, eliminating the need for manual visual aiming and protecting the user from environmental factors

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical aiming process with an automated electronic system. The detection device captures UAV position data, and the system automatically calculates and adjusts the launch angle through electronic control, substituting the mechanical visual aiming process with an automated detection and control system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If manual visual aiming is used, then the device structure remains simple, but the interference signal emission accuracy deteriorates when the UAV is far away or moving quickly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference signal emission accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an automated tracking and aiming system as an intermediary between the user and the drone countermeasure device. This system includes a detection device that automatically detects UAV position and coordinates, and an automated aiming mechanism that adjusts the launch angle based on detected information, eliminating the need for manual visual aiming and protecting the user from environmental factors

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The automated tracking and aiming system serves multiple functions: it detects UAV position, calculates optimal launch angles, controls the aiming mechanism, and provides user interface operations. By consolidating these functions into a single integrated system, the patent achieves high emission accuracy without proportionally increasing overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
