Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional independent remote controllers are used for each household appliance, then each appliance can be controlled independently, but user convenience deteriorates due to the need to physically locate and use separate controllers for each device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple independent control functions into a single unified remote controller that can control multiple household appliances. The remote controller integrates infrared transmission modules and multiple infrared receiving modules to communicate with different appliances, eliminating the need for separate remote controllers for each device while maintaining independent control capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote controller is designed with universal functionality to control various types of household appliances including air conditioners, televisions, and audio equipment. It incorporates multiple infrared receiving modules that can communicate with different appliance types using different communication protocols, making a single device sufficient for controlling multiple appliances.
2Ease of operation
If unified control through a single remote controller is implemented, then control convenience is improved, but the system complexity increases due to multiple communication protocols and coordination requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the communication functionality into multiple independent infrared receiving modules, each dedicated to communicating with a specific type of appliance. The remote controller includes a first infrared receiving module for air conditioners, a second for televisions, and a third for audio equipment. This segmentation allows each module to handle its own communication protocol independently, reducing the coordination complexity that would arise from trying to manage all protocols through a single integrated module.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple infrared receiving modules are used in the remote controller, then compatibility with different appliances is improved, but the remote controller size and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested structure where multiple infrared receiving modules are integrated within the single remote controller housing. Each infrared receiving module is contained within the overall remote controller structure, allowing multiple functional components to coexist in a compact arrangement. This nesting approach enables the remote controller to maintain a manageable size while incorporating multiple appliance communication capabilities.
