Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the operation region is fixed in front of the electronic device, then the device structure remains simple, but users outside the front region cannot perform operations effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The operation region is made dynamic by adjusting its boundaries based on the detected user position. When a user is detected outside the front region, the operation region is expanded to include areas where the user can naturally interact with the device, transforming a static fixed region into an adaptive dynamic region that responds to user location
Solution Approach 2:
The spatial parameters of the operation region are changed according to user position. The system calculates new region boundaries based on the detected user coordinates, modifying the region's extent and shape parameters to accommodate users at different positions relative to the electronic device
2Ease of operation
If the operation region is expanded for users outside the front region, then user operability is improved, but the detection and measurement complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback loop where user position is continuously detected, the operation region is adjusted based on this detection, and the adjusted region is used for subsequent operation detection. This feedback mechanism ensures that the operation region always corresponds to the current user position, simplifying the detection process
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary calculation layer that determines the operation region boundaries based on user position before performing operation detection. This intermediary step translates complex spatial relationships into simplified region definitions, making the detection process more manageable
