Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If static message interfaces are used, then interface configuration is simple, but adaptability to different applications is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different applicationsVSAvoidinterface configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic message interface configuration where the network component receives application information and communication capabilities from mobile transceivers, then determines and provides customized message interface configurations. This allows the interface to adapt dynamically to different applications and communication scenarios rather than using fixed static configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of the message interface based on application requirements and communication capabilities. The control module determines specific configuration parameters such as data rate, latency, and other communication parameters, and provides them to the mobile transceivers to configure their message interfaces accordingly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If dynamically configured message interfaces are used, then communication efficiency is improved, but configuration complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile transceivers autonomously provide information about their communication capabilities and the applications they need to execute to the network component. The network component then automatically determines the appropriate message interface configuration based on this information, reducing the need for manual configuration while maintaining high communication efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system operates with feedback loops where mobile transceivers provide information about their capabilities and application requirements, the network component processes this information to determine optimal configurations, and then provides the configured interfaces back to the transceivers. This feedback mechanism ensures communication efficiency while managing configuration complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
