Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional electronic tattoo design methods are used, then users can create functional electronic tattoos, but the designs lack aesthetic appeal and require skilled users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of useVSAvoiddesign quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses image recognition to analyze reference images provided by users and copies their aesthetic features into the electronic tattoo design. The circuit design algorithm generates circuit layouts that visually match the style and appearance of the reference images while maintaining functional requirements, thereby enabling unskilled users to create aesthetically pleasing designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary AI-based design generation layer between the user's functional requirements and the final circuit design. The circuit design algorithm acts as a mediator that translates high-level functional specifications and aesthetic preferences into detailed, aesthetically pleasing circuit layouts, eliminating the need for users to have electronic design skills.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If modular components are used to enable user customization, then user-specific designs become possible, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the electronic tattoo into modular functional components (sensors, actuators, processing units, power sources) that can be independently selected and combined. The circuit design algorithm manages this modularity by automatically assembling appropriate components based on functional requirements, providing user customization without overwhelming complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs a universal set of modular components that can serve multiple functions depending on their arrangement and configuration. The circuit design algorithm leverages this universality by generating designs that use standard components in creative configurations, enabling diverse customizations from a limited component library.

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

3Manufacturing precision

If AI-enabled circuit design is used to generate user-specific designs, then aesthetic appeal improves, but the initial system development complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign qualityVSAvoiddevelopment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-training the circuit design algorithm with extensive training data of electronic tattoo designs and circuit layouts. This preliminary training enables the AI model to generate aesthetically pleasing designs autonomously, offsetting the initial development complexity through automated design generation capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
