Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If configuration parameters are exchanged between UWB devices via traditional methods, then the devices can be properly configured for ranging, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining multiple configuration sets within the UWB device before ranging operations begin. Each configuration set corresponds to different service verticals and use cases, allowing the device to quickly select and apply the appropriate configuration without performing lengthy parameter exchanges during operation. This pre-preparation significantly reduces configuration time while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements copying by creating standardized configuration templates that can be replicated and applied across different scenarios. Instead of manually configuring each parameter individually, the system copies pre-defined configuration sets that contain all necessary parameters, capability information, and service-specific settings. This template-based approach ensures consistency and reduces the time required for configuration exchanges.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple configuration parameters are exchanged to support different service verticals, then the system becomes more versatile, but the complexity of parameter exchange increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the configuration system into distinct, modular configuration sets, each dedicated to specific service verticals and use cases. Instead of managing a single large configuration structure, the system segments configurations into manageable units that can be independently selected and applied. Each configuration set contains only the parameters relevant to its specific service, reducing overall complexity while maintaining versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by designing a unified configuration framework that handles multiple service verticals through a common interface and standardized structure. The system provides universal configuration management capabilities that work across different services (such as ranging, positioning, and tracking) without requiring service-specific configuration protocols. This multi-functional approach simplifies the overall system while supporting diverse services.
3Reliability
If extensive parameter exchange is performed between application and UWB device, then complete configuration is achieved, but the process becomes inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the extraction principle by removing unnecessary parameter exchange steps from the configuration process. The system extracts only the essential configuration elements that are truly needed for each service scenario and embeds them within pre-defined configuration sets. This extraction eliminates redundant parameters and streamlines the exchange process between the application and UWB device, maintaining configuration completeness while significantly improving efficiency.
