Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If waveform recording profile of all nodes is recorded and processed, then transmission efficiency analysis completeness is improved, but computing time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the waveform signal information by creating a designated list that identifies only the relevant nodes and signals required for transmission efficiency analysis. This segmentation filters out unnecessary data from the complete waveform recording profile, reducing the processing scope while maintaining analysis completeness for the specific transmission paths being evaluated.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the necessary waveform signal information corresponding to the designated list of relevant nodes and signals. By taking out only the essential data required for transmission efficiency analysis rather than processing the entire waveform recording profile, the computing time is reduced while the analysis remains complete for the intended scope.
2Measurement precision
If complete waveform signal information is processed, then analysis accuracy is improved, but data amount increases leading to longer processing time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the large volume of waveform signal information by organizing it into a designated list that identifies only the specific nodes and signals relevant to transmission efficiency analysis. This segmentation reduces the data amount that needs to be processed while preserving the accuracy needed for evaluating transmission performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the essential waveform signal information corresponding to the designated list from the complete waveform recording profile. This extraction reduces the data amount to be processed while maintaining analysis accuracy by focusing on the critical signals that directly impact transmission efficiency evaluation.
3Reliability
If all waveform data is read and processed, then transmission efficiency calculation completeness is improved, but processor performance requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the waveform data processing task by creating a designated list that identifies only the relevant nodes and signals for transmission efficiency calculation. This segmentation allows the processor to focus on a reduced subset of data, lowering performance requirements while maintaining calculation completeness for the intended analysis scope.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the necessary waveform data corresponding to the designated list from the complete waveform recording profile. This extraction reduces the processing burden on the processor, lowering performance requirements while ensuring that the transmission efficiency calculation remains complete and reliable for the evaluated transmission paths.
