Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If information is displayed passively without considering user situations, then the display system remains simple and static, but user visibility and understanding of information are degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser understandingVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transforming the static display system into a dynamic one that automatically adjusts information presentation based on real-time sensing data. The processor modifies object attributes (size, position, motion) and display parameters based on accumulated sensing information about user state, making the display adaptive rather than fixed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by using sensing information about user state (such as attention level, emotional state, or physiological data) to continuously adjust the display output. The system receives feedback from sensors, processes this information, and modifies the displayed objects accordingly, creating a closed-loop system that responds to user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Illumination intensity

If the display dynamically modifies object size, region, and motion based on sensing information, then user visibility and engagement are improved, but the processing and control complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation visibilityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying display object attributes (size, position, motion state) based on sensing information. The processor adjusts these parameters dynamically according to the accumulated data about user state, enabling the display to adapt its visual characteristics to enhance visibility and user engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by accumulating and processing sensing information in advance to prepare appropriate display modifications. The system continuously gathers sensing data and pre-processes it to determine the optimal display state before actual information presentation, ensuring smooth and timely adaptations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple objects are displayed with modified sizes and regions based on accumulated sensing values, then information presentation becomes more adaptive, but the computational load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation adaptabilityVSAvoidcomputational energy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by selectively modifying specific display objects or regions based on the type and relevance of sensing information. Rather than uniformly adjusting all displayed content, the system targets specific objects for modification based on their importance and the current user state, optimizing computational resources while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
