Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If sensors are added to detect user interactions, then user interaction data transmission capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The aerosol generating device integrates multiple sensing functions (pressure, temperature, carbon dioxide detection) into a single system that serves both health monitoring and virtual reality synchronization purposes. The controller processes multiple types of sensor data through a unified communication interface, allowing the device to transmit comprehensive user interaction information to external electronic devices without requiring separate dedicated systems for each function.
2Measurement precision
If multiple sensors are integrated to detect inhalation and exhalation, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines pressure, temperature, and carbon dioxide sensors into an integrated sensing system within the aerosol generating device. These multiple sensors work together to detect inhalation and exhalation events, with their data processed by a single controller that manages communication with external devices. This merging approach enables precise measurement of user interactions while avoiding the complexity of multiple independent sensing systems.
