Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If Wi-Fi transmission power is increased to improve coverage and functionality, then the radiation strength of Wi-Fi signals increases, but health risks to users increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism by continuously monitoring Wi-Fi signal strength values in the surrounding environment and comparing them against preset thresholds. When the cumulative signal strength exceeds the threshold, the system provides feedback to users through warning information, enabling them to adjust their behavior or environment to reduce exposure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary measurement and evaluation system that acts as a mediator between the Wi-Fi radiation source and users. This system uses signal strength detection and cumulative calculation to assess radiation levels, providing users with objective data about their exposure without requiring direct measurement of health effects.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple Wi-Fi signal sources are present to provide comprehensive coverage, then the overall radiation exposure increases, but it becomes difficult to assess total radiation risk
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual Wi-Fi signal strength measurements into a cumulative total. By detecting and summing the signal strength values from multiple signal sources, the system creates a unified radiation exposure metric that reflects the combined effect of all Wi-Fi signals in the environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary cumulative calculation mechanism that processes individual signal measurements and transforms them into a meaningful total radiation exposure value. This intermediary step enables accurate assessment of combined radiation from multiple sources by comparing the cumulative value against standardized thresholds.
