Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If indicator lights are used to show working status, then the device structure is simple, but the user cannot see current working information during punishment execution
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses multi-color LED indicators (red, green, yellow) to represent different working states of the bark control device. The display module changes colors to indicate punishment mode, intensity level, power status, and sensitivity level, providing comprehensive visual feedback without requiring complex display hardware.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from simple single-color indicator lights to multi-color graphical displays, adding the dimension of color information to convey multiple parameters simultaneously. This allows the device to display punishment mode, intensity, power level, and sensitivity in a compact visual format.
2Ease of operation
If simple indicator lights are used, then the device complexity is low, but the user experience is affected due to lack of clear information display
Solution Approach 1:
Different colors are assigned to represent different operational parameters: red for punishment mode, green for power status, yellow for intensity levels. This color-coding system makes the device easy to operate and understand at a glance.
Solution Approach 2:
The display module is segmented into multiple independent LED indicators, each responsible for displaying a specific parameter (punishment mode, intensity, power, sensitivity). This segmentation allows for simple individual control while providing comprehensive information collectively.
3Loss of information
If multi-color graphic information is displayed, then working status information is clearly visible, but the display module complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs multi-color LED indicators that can emit different colors (red, green, yellow) to represent various working parameters. This approach provides rich information visibility using relatively simple display components.
Solution Approach 2:
The display module uses multi-functional LED indicators that can display multiple parameters (punishment mode, intensity level, power status, sensitivity level) through color changes, reducing the need for separate indicators for each parameter.
