Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional basketball shooting machine is designed for single player or local two-player interaction, then the device structure remains simple, but the adaptability and remote interaction capability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The control device integrates multiple working modes (single player, local two-player, and remote online game) into one system. The control module can switch between different modes through the control switch, allowing the basketball shooting machine to serve multiple purposes without requiring separate devices for each mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication module acts as an intermediary between the basketball shooting machine and intelligent terminals (smartphones, tablets). It enables wireless data transmission and reception, allowing remote players to interact with the machine through their devices without being physically present at the machine location.
2Adaptability or versatility
If communication module is added for online game functionality, then remote multiplayer capability is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The communication module is designed to handle multiple communication tasks including mode switching signals, scoring data transmission, and real-time game state synchronization. This single module performs multiple functions that would otherwise require separate communication components.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically manages the complexity of remote communication through the control module, which handles mode switching, sensor data processing, and communication coordination without requiring complex manual configuration or additional control components.
3Measurement precision
If sensor feedback system is implemented for real-time scoring, then the measurement precision and player engagement are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The first sensor and second sensor are integrated into the control system through the control module, which consolidates their output signals. This merging approach allows multiple sensors to work together seamlessly without requiring separate processing systems for each sensor, reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The sensors provide real-time feedback on ball detection and scoring events, which the control module processes to update the display module and communication module. This feedback loop enables accurate real-time scoring without requiring complex manual intervention or additional verification systems.
