Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If information is transferred using conventional methods (temporary storage in information processing device followed by manual transfer to USB memory or card-type memory), then information can be transferred between devices, but the operation becomes troublesome and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the information storage function from the information processing device and places it directly in the indication operation device. The indication operation device includes an information storage device that can store information received from the information processing device, eliminating the need for temporary storage in the information processing device and subsequent manual transfer operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The indication operation device is given multiple functions: it can both perform indication operations and store information received from the information processing device. This multi-functionality allows the device to independently hold information for later transfer to other devices, simplifying the overall information transfer process.
2Productivity
If information is stored temporarily in the information processing device before transfer, then information can be transferred to external devices, but the transfer process becomes time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The indication operation device performs preliminary action by storing information directly in its own information storage device when received from the information processing device. This preliminary storage action eliminates the need for subsequent manual transfer operations and temporary storage steps, significantly reducing the time required for information transfer.
3Ease of operation
If the indication operation device includes an information storage device and transmitter, then information can be easily acquired and transferred with simple operation, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the information storage function and transmission function into the indication operation device. By combining these functions with the existing indication capability, the device can acquire information from the information processing device and transfer it to other devices independently, simplifying the overall operation while accepting increased device complexity.
