Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If interactive signaling is used to control measurement setups between sensing initiator and responder, then measurement setup can be established, but signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing measurement setup parameters and timer configurations in advance through signaling, then allowing devices to autonomously manage the measurement setup without requiring continuous interactive signaling. The timer is pre-configured with start time and duration, enabling automatic control of the measurement setup lifecycle.

Inventive Principle:

2Reliability

If interactive signaling is used to manage measurement setup lifecycle, then control can be achieved, but system performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemeasurement setup controlVSAvoidsystem performance

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling each device to autonomously manage its own measurement setup based on pre-configured parameters. The sensing initiator and responder independently control their measurement setups using local timer configurations, eliminating the need for continuous coordination signaling and thereby improving system performance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Loss of information

If timer-based autonomous control is implemented, then signaling overhead is reduced, but measurement setup control capability must be enhanced

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing timer-based control parameters (start time, duration) to manage the measurement setup lifecycle. By changing from event-driven interactive control to parameter-driven autonomous control, the system reduces signaling overhead while maintaining control capability through enhanced parameter management.
