Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the existing state displaying and adjusting scheme is used, then the battery can be switched and adjusted between stationary states, but the adjustment method becomes complex and convenience is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of adjusting battery stateVSAvoidcomplexity of adjustment method
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by enabling continuous state adjustment rather than fixed stationary states. The battery state can be dynamically changed based on touch duration, allowing smooth transitions between different power output levels instead of being limited to predefined states.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of touch duration to control battery state. By varying the duration of the touch input, different state adjustment information is generated, allowing the battery to transition between different operating states based on the temporal characteristic of user input rather than complex multi-step procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If touch information input method is implemented, then the convenience of adjusting battery state is improved, but the device requires additional input detection capability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of inputting state adjustmentVSAvoidcomplexity of input detection system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by using a existing button component for multiple functions. The battery-state-adjustment button serves both as a power control switch and as a touch duration input device for state adjustment, eliminating the need for separate input mechanisms while improving functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the existing button infrastructure to provide enhanced functionality. The button's natural pressing action is repurposed to convey state adjustment information through touch duration, allowing the device to serve itself by utilizing existing components for multiple purposes without adding separate input devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
