Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If additional sensors are used to determine wall type and object type, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The radar sensor unit is designed to perform multiple functions: it detects both wall type characteristics and object type characteristics using the same sensor hardware. The sensor data is processed through different analysis pathways to extract diverse diagnostic information, eliminating the need for separate specialized sensors for each measurement type.
Solution Approach 2:
The diagnostic module analyzes radar sensor data by changing evaluation parameters and processing methods to extract different types of information from the same raw data. By adjusting analysis parameters, the system can determine both wall type and object type without requiring additional physical sensors, thus improving measurement precision while maintaining simple device architecture.
2Ease of operation
If manual user input is required for wall type, then ease of operation deteriorates, but reliability may improve through user expertise
Solution Approach 1:
The diagnostic module automatically performs wall type determination by analyzing radar sensor data without requiring manual user input. The system self-services by extracting wall type characteristics directly from the sensor measurements, eliminating the need for users to manually specify wall types while maintaining diagnostic accuracy through automated analysis algorithms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where diagnostic results are continuously refined based on analyzed data patterns. The automated wall type determination uses feedback from radar signal characteristics to improve accuracy, ensuring reliable results without manual intervention by leveraging iterative analysis and pattern recognition.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive diagnostic analysis is performed, then measurement precision improves, but loss of time increases due to extensive processing
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of radar sensor data to identify key characteristics and patterns before conducting full diagnostic processing. By pre-processing the data and extracting essential features in advance, the system reduces the computational burden of subsequent detailed analysis, thereby maintaining high measurement precision while minimizing the overall diagnostic processing time.
4Reliability
If feedback mechanisms are implemented to improve diagnostic module, then reliability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where diagnostic results and sensor data are continuously analyzed to refine and improve the diagnostic module's performance. The feedback loop compares actual measurements with expected patterns, enabling the system to learn and adapt, thereby improving reliability through iterative optimization without requiring complex additional hardware structures.
