Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a different server application is provided for each type of non-contact IC chip, then the service can be provided accurately for each chip type, but the burden of service provision increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The server application is designed to handle multiple types of non-contact IC chips through a unified interface. The system obtains chip type information from the client device and automatically generates appropriate commands based on the chip type, allowing one server application to serve multiple chip types without requiring separate applications for each chip type.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism that translates between the unified server application interface and the specific command requirements of different IC chip types. This intermediary layer handles the conversion and adaptation, allowing the server to communicate with various chip types through a standardized interface while maintaining compatibility with each specific chip type's requirements.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple server applications are maintained for different IC chip types, then each chip type can be managed specifically, but the system complexity and maintenance burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The server application implements multi-functionality by incorporating the capability to handle multiple IC chip types within a single application. The system maintains adaptability to different chip types through automated chip type detection and command generation, eliminating the need for multiple separate applications while preserving compatibility with various chip types.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the functionality of multiple separate server applications into a single unified application. By combining the command generation and management capabilities for different IC chip types into one application, the system reduces complexity while maintaining the ability to serve multiple chip types through integrated logic and unified interface.
3Device complexity
If a unified server application is used for all IC chip types, then the burden of service provision is reduced, but the ability to handle specific chip type requirements may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The unified server application implements local quality by providing customized command generation for each specific IC chip type while maintaining a unified interface. The system detects the chip type and applies chip-specific command generation logic, ensuring that each chip type receives appropriately tailored commands while the overall system remains simplified and unified.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs dynamic command generation that adapts to the specific IC chip type being accessed. Rather than using static, fixed commands, the system dynamically determines the appropriate commands based on the detected chip type, allowing the unified application to maintain high accuracy and reliability across different chip types while remaining flexible and adaptable.
