Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If all devices are included in the motion detection system, then the system coverage is maximized, but the system accuracy deteriorates due to inclusion of moving devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network devices into two distinct groups: stationary devices suitable for motion detection and moving devices to be excluded. This segmentation is achieved by analyzing signal characteristic data over time to identify which devices remain in fixed positions. By dividing the device population into these categories, the system maintains comprehensive coverage of all devices while ensuring only appropriate stationary devices are used for motion detection, thereby resolving the contradiction between maximizing coverage and maintaining accuracy.
2Measurement precision
If manual configuration is required to select devices, then system accuracy can be optimized, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to configuration complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the system automatically analyzes signal characteristic data from all network devices and autonomously determines which devices are stationary and suitable for motion detection. The system performs this classification without requiring user intervention or manual configuration. This self-service approach eliminates the complexity of manual device selection while maintaining high accuracy in identifying appropriate motion detection devices, thus resolving the contradiction between optimization and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary analysis of signal characteristic data during the initial system setup phase to automatically identify and classify stationary devices before the user needs to configure the motion detection system. By completing the device selection process in advance through automated analysis, the system eliminates the need for complex user configuration steps later, thereby maintaining both high accuracy and ease of operation.
3Reliability
If signal analysis is performed on all devices, then the reliability of device classification is improved, but the productivity deteriorates due to increased processing time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by analyzing signal characteristic data from a representative subset of network devices during the initial classification phase, rather than performing exhaustive analysis on every single device. The system analyzes sufficient data to reliably identify stationary devices with consistent signal patterns, without requiring complete analysis of all possible devices. This approach achieves reliable device classification while minimizing processing time and maintaining system productivity.
