Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If UAVs collect surveillance data from all IoT terminals in the coverage area, then the completeness of surveillance information is improved, but the energy consumption and operational time of UAVs deteriorate due to battery constraints

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of surveillance informationVSAvoidenergy consumption of UAV
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables autonomous decision-making where the UAV independently selects which IoT terminals to surveil based on deep learning auction training that evaluates data redundancy and displacement factors, eliminating the need for manual intervention while optimizing energy usage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes the selection parameters by using deep learning auction training that considers data redundancy and displacement factors, allowing the UAV to adaptively select terminals based on current operational conditions rather than fixed predetermined rules

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of information

If UAVs transmit all collected surveillance data to terrestrial base stations, then the completeness of data analysis is improved, but the reliability of data transmission deteriorates when wireless network coverage is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of data analysisVSAvoidreliability of data transmission
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and processes critical surveillance data locally on the UAV using onboard deep learning auction training algorithms, separating essential data processing from centralized base station analysis to maintain operational reliability when network coverage is limited

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the surveillance data collection and processing function into distributed autonomous UAV units that can independently evaluate and select terminals, rather than relying on centralized control, thereby maintaining functionality in areas with poor network coverage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If UAVs selectively collect surveillance data from specific IoT terminals, then the energy efficiency and operational time are improved, but the completeness of surveillance coverage deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy efficiency of UAVVSAvoidcompleteness of surveillance coverage
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the deep learning auction training continuously evaluates data redundancy and displacement factors from previously collected surveillance data, allowing the UAV to adaptively adjust terminal selection decisions to maintain comprehensive coverage while optimizing energy efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
