Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If overlapping detection areas are increased to improve diagnosis and calibration accuracy, then measurement precision is improved, but communication bandwidth and processing capacity are exceeded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the detection data by creating separate processing paths for overlapping and non-overlapping detection areas. The data processing device divides incoming detection data into first detection data from overlapping areas and second detection data from non-overlapping areas, allowing selective processing and transmission based on communication bandwidth availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically changes the parameter of overlapping detection area based on communication conditions. The data processing device determines whether to increase or decrease the overlapping detection area according to communication bandwidth availability, transforming a static detection configuration into a dynamic one that adapts to changing communication constraints.
2Quantity of substance
If overlapping detection areas are limited to reduce data volume, then communication bandwidth is preserved, but diagnosis and calibration accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of the overlapping detection area based on real-time communication conditions. The data processing device continuously monitors communication bandwidth availability and dynamically modifies the detection area configuration, transitioning between different operational states (increasing or decreasing overlap) to balance data volume requirements with diagnostic accuracy needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by selectively processing only certain detection data based on communication conditions. When bandwidth is limited, the device processes only essential second detection data from non-overlapping areas. When bandwidth is available, it additionally processes first detection data from overlapping areas, implementing a scalable processing approach that adapts to available resources.
3Area of stationary object
If multiple detectors are used to cover all directions of the vehicle, then detection coverage is improved, but data transmission and processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments detection data based on spatial overlap characteristics, dividing the data stream into manageable categories (overlapping vs. non-overlapping detection areas). This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple detector inputs systematically by processing different data types through appropriate pathways, reducing overall processing complexity despite increased detector count.
Solution Approach 2:
The data processing device performs multiple functions: it processes both overlapping and non-overlapping detection data, manages communication bandwidth allocation, and dynamically adjusts detection area configuration. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems, managing the complexity introduced by multiple detectors through a unified processing architecture.
