Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a traditional remote control system is used for physical devices in software training environments, then basic control functionality is provided, but direct remote control between teacher and student terminals is not enabled and programming complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveremote control operationVSAvoidsystem structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a remote control server as an intermediary component that mediates between teacher terminals, student terminals, and physical devices. This server establishes virtual remote training environments and virtual remote control environments, enabling direct remote control without requiring complex peer-to-peer connections or advanced programming knowledge from users.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system is segmented into distinct functional modules: a remote control server for environment management, student terminals for device connection, and teacher terminals for control operations. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, simplifying the overall system architecture while enabling direct remote control capabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If advanced programming languages are used for sensor and actuator interactions, then precise control is achieved, but accessibility for general users decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesensor actuator control precisionVSAvoiduser accessibility

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates virtual copies of physical devices through virtual machine instances that run on student terminals. These virtual devices replicate the functionality of physical sensors and actuators but can be controlled through simplified interfaces on teacher terminals, eliminating the need for users to master complex programming languages while maintaining precise control capabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The remote control server provides universal control capabilities that work across different device types and programming languages. It offers a standardized interface for controlling various physical devices, making the system accessible to users with different skill levels while maintaining precise sensor and actuator control through the virtualization layer.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If direct remote control is enabled without interception mechanisms, then control efficiency is improved, but unauthorized or erroneous control actions cannot be prevented

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontrol efficiencyVSAvoidcontrol authorization

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The remote control server implements feedback mechanisms that monitor and track control commands between teacher terminals and physical devices. It provides real-time information about control operations, device states, and authorization status, enabling the system to maintain high control efficiency while ensuring reliability through continuous monitoring and verification of control actions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes pre-authorized control relationships between teacher terminals and student terminals before remote control operations begin. The remote control server pre-configures virtual remote control environments with appropriate access permissions, allowing direct control to proceed efficiently while preventing unauthorized actions through预先 established authorization rules.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
