Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If operation parameters are customized for different users, then user convenience and operational accuracy are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is segmented into multiple user profiles, each with customized virtual keys and operation parameters. This allows different users to have personalized settings without affecting the overall system architecture, resolving the contradiction by organizing complexity into manageable segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring virtual keys and operation parameters for each user profile before actual operation. Users can set up their preferences in advance, and the system automatically applies these settings, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments and reducing operational complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple operation parameters are adjusted to satisfy different users, then adaptability is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple operation parameters are merged into single virtual keys that represent complete operational configurations. Instead of adjusting individual parameters separately, users can access pre-bundled parameter sets through virtual keys, significantly reducing the time required to adapt settings for different users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates copies of operation parameter sets for different users through virtual keys. Once a configuration is established, it can be copied and applied to multiple users or scenarios, eliminating repetitive adjustment processes and reducing time consumption while maintaining high adaptability.
3Measurement precision
If virtual keys are created for customized parameters, then control precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Virtual keys serve as intermediaries between the user and the complex operation parameters. Instead of directly exposing numerous individual parameters to users, the virtual keys act as mediators that encapsulate and manage these parameters, improving control precision while shielding users from interface complexity.
