Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a temperature sensing device measures only a single situation value, then the device structure remains simple, but the device cannot adapt to different measurement situations or change calculation methods

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different measurement situationsVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sensing device is designed to perform multiple measurement functions by storing multiple calculation logics for different situation values (temperature, humidity, pressure, etc.) and selecting the appropriate calculation logic based on the measurement situation, allowing a single device to adapt to various measurement needs without requiring separate specialized devices for each parameter

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If the device stores multiple calculation logics for different situation values and calculation methods, then the device can measure intended situation values flexibly, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility in measurement calculationVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device employs dynamic selection of calculation logics based on the measurement situation. The processor automatically chooses the appropriate calculation logic from stored options according to the current measurement context, enabling flexible adaptation to different measurement scenarios while maintaining operational simplicity for the user

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple calculation logics for different situation values and calculation methods are pre-stored in the device's memory before actual measurement operations. This preliminary preparation allows the device to quickly select and apply the appropriate calculation method during measurement without requiring complex real-time decision-making or user configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
