Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If display controlling apparatus uses traditional fixed display methods, then device complexity is low, but user convenience and authentication efficiency are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display apparatus dynamically adjusts display content and positioning based on real-time detection of authenticated person's location and movement. The system transitions from static fixed displays to dynamic adaptive displays that automatically follow and present information to the authenticated person, thereby improving user convenience without requiring complex manual control interfaces

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects the authenticated person's position, determines appropriate display content, and controls display timing without requiring user intervention. The display apparatus serves itself by autonomously managing the display based on detected conditions, reducing the need for complex user operations while maintaining high convenience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If display controlling apparatus implements position-based dynamic display, then user convenience is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication efficiencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection and identification of the authenticated person before the actual display operation. By pre-determining the person's location, movement trajectory, and appropriate display content in advance, the system can execute efficient authentication and display control without increasing operational complexity during the actual authentication process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The display apparatus continuously monitors the authenticated person's position and movement, using this feedback to dynamically adjust display content and timing. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables efficient authentication by automatically adapting to the person's movements, improving productivity while managing complexity through automated adaptive control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If display controlling apparatus uses automated position estimation, then authentication efficiency is improved, but measurement precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication efficiencyVSAvoidmeasurement precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses partial detection information and estimation methods that do not require complete precise measurement of all parameters. By using key diagnostic features and allowing certain degrees of approximation in position and movement detection, the system achieves efficient authentication without demanding extremely high measurement precision for all parameters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system adapts the precision requirements of measurement parameters based on the current authentication context and detected conditions. By dynamically adjusting which parameters are measured and at what precision level, the system maintains high authentication efficiency while managing measurement precision requirements flexibly rather than uniformly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
