Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If wireless communication is carried out frequently to ensure data exchange, then communication reliability is improved, but communication overhead and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidenergy consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of communication parameters including transmission power, reception sensitivity, and coverage area based on real-time environmental conditions and communication history. The system transitions from static to dynamic communication settings, optimizing energy consumption while maintaining reliability by adapting to changing conditions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system utilizes feedback mechanisms by storing and analyzing communication history information to make informed decisions about future communication actions. This feedback loop allows the system to learn from past communication patterns and adjust its behavior to reduce unnecessary transmissions while ensuring reliable data exchange when needed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Area of stationary object

If transmission power is increased to expand coverage, then communication range is improved, but energy consumption and interference increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecoverage areaVSAvoidtransmission energy

Core Design Contradiction:

Area of stationary objectVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes transmission parameters including power level, coverage area, and reception sensitivity based on environmental conditions and communication history. By dynamically adjusting these parameters rather than maintaining fixed high-power transmission, the system expands coverage only when and where necessary, reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining effective communication range.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different transmission power levels and coverage settings to different spatial locations and communication scenarios. Instead of uniform high-power transmission everywhere, the system optimizes local communication quality by adjusting parameters according to specific environmental conditions and historical communication patterns in each context.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

3Stability of the object's composition

If communication frequency is increased to maintain connection, then connection stability is improved, but system resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidsystem efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic communication actions based on stored history information and current conditions rather than continuous or fixed-frequency communication. By determining optimal communication intervals dynamically, the system maintains connection stability when needed while reducing unnecessary communication cycles that would consume system resources.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system serves itself by automatically adjusting communication frequency and parameters based on its own stored history information and current environmental conditions. This self-service capability allows the system to maintain stable connections intelligently without external control, optimizing resource usage while ensuring connection reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service
