Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a server and personal computer are used to transmit broadcast signals to mobile devices, then the transmission capability is achieved, but the system complexity increases and user operation becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the functions of the broadcast signal receiving apparatus, server, and personal computer into a single integrated system. The broadcast signal receiving apparatus directly converts and transmits signals to mobile devices through wireless communication, eliminating the need for separate server and PC components, thus reducing system complexity while maintaining transmission capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and eliminates the unnecessary intermediate components (server and personal computer) from the transmission chain. By enabling the broadcast signal receiving apparatus to perform both signal reception and direct wireless transmission to mobile devices, the system removes the complex intermediary steps that previously required user intervention for data transmission.
2Productivity
If direct interconnection between personal computer and mobile apparatus is performed, then data transmission is achieved, but user intervention and transmission complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The broadcast signal receiving apparatus performs automatic signal conversion and transmission without requiring user intervention for direct interconnection. The system autonomously detects mobile devices in the wireless network, converts broadcast signals to appropriate formats, and transmits them directly, thereby improving transmission efficiency while eliminating the need for users to manually connect devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a wireless communication intermediary that enables direct transmission between the broadcast signal receiving apparatus and mobile devices. This wireless intermediary eliminates the need for physical direct interconnection through cables, allowing automated data transmission without user intervention while maintaining high transmission efficiency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If broadcast signals are converted to various formats for different mobile apparatuses, then compatibility is improved, but the conversion process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The broadcast signal receiving apparatus incorporates a universal signal converting unit capable of converting broadcast signals into multiple formats suitable for different mobile devices. This multi-functional conversion capability ensures compatibility with various mobile apparatuses while integrating the conversion process into a single automated component, preventing excessive complexity increase.
