Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If individual unique identification codes are detected and processed one by one, then each code can be accurately identified, but the time and resources required for detection and processing increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the unique identification code into multiple parts, where each part contains information about a specific object. By detecting and processing these segmented parts individually, the system can identify multiple objects through a single code structure, reducing the need for multiple separate detection operations while maintaining accurate identification of each object.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple object identification information into a single unique identification code. This merging allows the detection system to process multiple object identifiers simultaneously through one code detection event, thereby reducing total detection time while preserving the ability to accurately identify each individual object contained within the code.
2Reliability
If multiple unique identification codes are attached to objects, then comprehensive identification is achieved, but the complexity of detecting and processing these codes increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the identification system so that a single unique identification code contains distinct parts, each corresponding to a different object. This segmentation allows the detection system to process one code to identify multiple objects, reducing the number of codes that need to be physically detected while maintaining complete identification coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a single unique identification code that effectively 'copies' or represents multiple object identifiers within its structure. Instead of requiring separate physical codes for each object, the system embeds multiple object identifiers within one code, simplifying the physical detection process while maintaining comprehensive identification.
3Ease of manufacture
If a predefined code sequence is used to attach unique identification codes, then the structure and organization of codes is improved, but additional processing is required to infer attached codes from detected codes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-organizing the unique identification code into a predefined sequence structure with distinct parts before attachment. This pre-structured format enables the detection system to efficiently parse and infer information about multiple objects from the code's inherent organization, reducing the complexity of real-time processing while maintaining ease of manufacture and attachment.
