Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If data transmission is performed continuously, then data transmission reliability is improved, but terminal energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidterminal energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic data transmission by determining data transmission intervals and no data transmission intervals. The terminal transmits data during designated intervals and enters sleep mode during no data transmission intervals, achieving periodic operation that balances transmission reliability with energy saving.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The network side device performs preliminary actions by marking data packets with burst identifiers and transmission interval information before transmission. This allows the terminal to advance determine transmission schedules and prepare for sleep modes, enabling proactive energy management rather than reactive power saving.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Use of energy by moving object

If data transmission interval is extended to save energy, then terminal energy consumption is reduced, but data transmission delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveterminal energy consumptionVSAvoiddata transmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The network side device marks data packets with burst identifiers and expected transmission timing information in advance. This allows the terminal to schedule transmissions efficiently, ensuring that data is transmitted at optimal times without unnecessary delays while still utilizing sleep modes for energy saving.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs feedback mechanisms where the terminal reports actual transmission timing and the network adjusts subsequent transmission intervals accordingly. This feedback loop allows optimization of the balance between transmission delay and energy consumption based on actual network conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If no data transmission interval is implemented, then data transmission continuity is improved, but terminal energy saving capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission continuityVSAvoidterminal energy saving capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes periodic transmission patterns with defined data transmission intervals and no data transmission intervals. The terminal alternates between active transmission periods and sleep periods, achieving periodic operation that maintains transmission continuity when needed while enabling energy saving during idle periods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The transmission schedule is dynamic and adaptable. The network side device can adjust transmission intervals and burst durations based on actual data traffic conditions, allowing the system to optimize between continuity and energy saving in response to changing network requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Reliability

If transmission delay parameters are precisely calculated, then data transmission quality is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts critical timing information and delay parameters from complex transmission processes and encapsulates them in standardized packet markings. By separating these parameters into distinct fields in data packets, the system achieves precise delay calculation without requiring complex integrated processing throughout the entire transmission path.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The network side device acts as an intermediary that performs delay calculations and transmits timing information to the terminal. This intermediary approach simplifies the overall system by centralizing complex timing management functions in the network rather than requiring each node to independently calculate and manage all delay parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
