Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If motors and interference discs are used to achieve dynamic projection effects, then dynamic projection effects are improved, but aesthetic fatigue occurs due to periodic image changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic projection effectsVSAvoidaesthetic fatigue
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a display screen to project images instead of traditional mechanical interference discs. The display screen can show both static images and dynamic content, eliminating the periodic mechanical interference that causes aesthetic fatigue while maintaining visual diversity through digital content variation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the fundamental parameter of image generation from mechanical optical interference to electronic display. By using a display screen controlled by a controller, the system can vary image content, duration, and type without mechanical periodicity, thus avoiding aesthetic fatigue while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If slide-based presentations are used for image switching, then image variety is improved, but operation becomes cumbersome and costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage varietyVSAvoidmanual image switching
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical slide-based presentation system with an electronic display screen controlled by a controller. This substitution eliminates manual image switching operations and reduces costs by eliminating the need for physical slides and their associated handling mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The display screen system automatically switches between different images and video content based on control signals, eliminating the need for manual intervention. The system serves itself by automatically managing image transitions and content display without user involvement in the switching process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If film slides are used for projection, then scene variety is improved, but costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescene varietyVSAvoidproduction costs
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a display screen that can digitally reproduce various scenes and images without requiring physical film slides. This digital copying approach eliminates the need to manufacture, store, and replace physical slides, significantly reducing production costs while maintaining extensive scene variety through digital content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the medium from physical film to electronic display. This parameter change allows for unlimited scene variety through digital storage and processing, eliminating the cost constraints associated with producing and managing physical film slides.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
