Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If communication devices perform positioning calculations without knowing the coverage state and positioning status of other devices, then positioning can be performed in all scenarios, but positioning accuracy deteriorates due to inability to select appropriate positioning schemes
Solution Approach 1:
The first communication device performs preliminary actions by determining its coverage state and positioning status before positioning calculation, then transmits this information to the second communication device. This allows the second device to select the appropriate positioning scheme in advance, improving positioning accuracy without increasing operational complexity during the actual positioning process.
Solution Approach 2:
The coverage state information and positioning status information act as intermediaries between the first communication device and the second communication device. These information elements enable the second device to determine the appropriate positioning scheme without direct complex interactions, resolving the contradiction by providing necessary context through simple information transmission.
2Productivity
If communication devices transmit detailed coverage and positioning status information, then positioning efficiency improves through optimized scheme selection, but information transmission overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential information elements (coverage state and positioning status) needed for positioning scheme selection, transmitting only these specific data points rather than complete device state information. This selective extraction improves positioning efficiency by enabling scheme optimization while minimizing information transmission overhead by sending only the most critical parameters.
3Adaptability or versatility
If communication devices adapt positioning schemes based on coverage scenarios, then positioning flexibility improves, but system complexity increases due to multiple positioning methods
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic positioning scheme selection where the second communication device adapts its positioning method based on received information about the first device's coverage state and positioning status. The system transitions from static to dynamic scheme selection, improving adaptability to different coverage scenarios while managing complexity through automated decision-making based on simple information criteria.
