Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple terminals are connected in a network for video and voice communication, then communication coverage and connectivity are improved, but communication intention recognition and interaction clarity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the display presentation for each terminal based on its specific arrangement position and bidirectional strength relationship. Each terminal receives customized display information that reflects its local spatial context and communication relationship, rather than a uniform display for all terminals. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining network-wide connectivity while providing localized, context-aware communication cues that improve intention recognition.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the display control unit continuously adjusts the display presentation based on real-time bidirectional strength data and arrangement information. The system provides feedback about communication relationships and spatial positions to users, enabling them to understand who is communicating with whom and in what direction. This feedback loop resolves the contradiction by making communication intentions explicit despite the complexity of multiple connected terminals.
2Measurement precision
If arrangement information between terminals is considered, then communication direction and partner recognition are improved, but system complexity and processing requirements worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing arrangement information that defines spatial relationships and bidirectional strength metrics between terminals before communication occurs. The system pre-calculates and stores arrangement data that indicates how terminals are positioned relative to each other and their communication capabilities. This preliminary preparation resolves the contradiction by having communication partner recognition criteria ready in advance, reducing real-time processing complexity while maintaining precise partner identification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by dynamically adjusting display presentation parameters based on bidirectional strength values and arrangement position data. The system changes display parameters such as visibility, prominence, or activation state according to the calculated bidirectional strength between terminal pairs. This approach resolves the contradiction by using parameter-based control to achieve precise communication partner recognition without requiring complex system reconfiguration, simply adjusting display parameters based on pre-established arrangement information.
