Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional user interface methods are used for receiving user information and device fit information, then the system can collect necessary data, but the process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming requiring multiple key presses
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical input methods (key presses, manual navigation) with optical/biometric input methods. External devices capture biometric information (such as images of the user or device fit data) and transmit it automatically to the computer system, eliminating the need for manual keyboard input and reducing configuration time while improving ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces external devices as intermediaries between the user and the computer system. These external devices capture biometric information and serve as a mediator to automatically transfer user information and device fit information to the system, reducing the need for direct manual input and minimizing configuration time
2Productivity
If traditional user interface methods are used, then the system can receive user information, but device energy is wasted due to prolonged processor usage and unnecessary operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by having external devices capture and prepare biometric information before it is needed by the computer system. The information is ready for immediate processing upon receipt, eliminating the need for prolonged processor usage and reducing energy consumption while improving configuration speed
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces energy-intensive mechanical input processing (multiple key presses, screen interactions) with efficient optical/biometric data transmission. This substitution reduces processor workload and energy consumption while maintaining or improving configuration productivity
