Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If a wireless reception terminal detects interference waves using carrier sensing and determines illegal radio waves, then interference information can be transmitted to a control station, but the factor of quality degradation cannot be identified

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference informationVSAvoidquality degradation factor
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The detection process is segmented into multiple functional units: a reception unit that receives radio waves, a spectrum generation unit that creates spectra from the received waves, a determination unit that identifies degradation factors by comparing spectra against criteria, and an output unit that reports results. This segmentation allows each unit to focus on a specific aspect of detection, enabling identification of quality degradation factors while maintaining comprehensive interference detection capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If a maintenance worker uses a dedicated measurement instrument to search for quality degradation factors, then accurate measurement can be performed, but specialized knowledge and complex equipment are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality degradation detectionVSAvoidmeasurement instrument
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wireless reception terminal is designed to perform multiple functions: it not only detects interference waves and transmits information to control stations but also generates spectra, determines quality degradation factors, and outputs identification results. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate dedicated measurement instruments, allowing the terminal to accurately measure quality degradation factors while reducing device complexity and eliminating the requirement for specialized maintenance equipment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Object-generated harmful factors

If carrier sensing is performed in a frequency band to detect illegal radio waves, then interference waves can be detected, but the quality of received radio waves cannot be maintained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference wave detectionVSAvoidreceived radio wave quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors the received radio waves, generates spectra in real-time, compares them against predetermined criteria, and identifies quality degradation factors. This feedback mechanism allows the system to detect when radio wave quality deteriorates due to interference and provide information about the degradation factors, enabling corrective actions to maintain reliable communication while continuing to detect harmful interference waves.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
