Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If connection settings are required for each device to share resources, then resource sharing capability is achieved, but operation complexity and time consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource sharing capabilityVSAvoidconnection setup complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic device discovery and connection establishment without user intervention. Devices automatically detect each other through wireless signal modules, extract device information, and set up connections autonomously, eliminating the need for manual configuration while maintaining full resource sharing capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Device information is pre-extracted and stored in a database before actual resource sharing operations. The system proactively discovers and registers devices in the environment, so when resource sharing is needed, the connection is already established and ready to use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If multiple wireless signal modules are deployed to recognize devices in different directions, then device recognition accuracy and directional information are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice recognition accuracyVSAvoidnumber of wireless signal modules
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into multiple wireless signal modules positioned at different locations and orientations. Each module independently detects devices in its specific direction, and the system integrates information from multiple segments to achieve comprehensive spatial awareness and accurate device recognition

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from single-direction detection to multi-directional detection by adding spatial dimensionality. Wireless signal modules are distributed across different positions and angles, enabling the device to recognize and locate other devices in three-dimensional space rather than a single direction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
