Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If AI features are added to electronic devices through traditional update processes, then AI functionality is improved, but device complexity and update difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the AI processing functionality from the electronic device itself and relocates it to a separate AI terminal. The AI terminal performs AI processing on data from the electronic device and sends back control commands, allowing the electronic device to gain AI features without containing the complex AI processing hardware. This separation resolves the contradiction by providing AI capability while keeping the electronic device simple.
2Adaptability or versatility
If hardware updates are performed to add new AI features, then AI functionality is improved, but economic waste occurs as users must purchase new devices
Solution Approach 1:
The AI terminal serves multiple electronic devices simultaneously and can provide different AI features to different devices based on their capabilities. Instead of requiring separate AI processing hardware in each electronic device, a single AI terminal can serve as a universal AI engine for multiple devices, allowing feature expansion without additional hardware purchases by users.
3Adaptability or versatility
If AI processing is integrated into electronic devices, then AI features are provided, but manufacturing cost and device price increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the expensive AI processing components from the electronic device and places them in a separate AI terminal. This allows the electronic device to be manufactured without costly AI hardware, reducing manufacturing costs and device prices, while still providing AI features through the external terminal.
