Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional charging station information displays are used, then users can receive basic charging information, but users lack targeted step-by-step guidance and navigation support during the charging process
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional 2D static displays to 3D holographic projection, adding a spatial dimension to information delivery. The holographic display projects three-dimensional images into the air above the charging station, providing users with immersive step-by-step guidance and navigation instructions that can be viewed from multiple angles, thereby enhancing ease of operation during the charging process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a holographic projection system as an intermediary between the charging station control system and the user. This intermediary translates complex charging procedures into visual step-by-step instructions and provides navigation guidance, bridging the information gap and improving user understanding without requiring users to interpret complex technical data directly.
2Adaptability or versatility
If static information displays are used at charging stations, then device complexity is minimized, but adaptability to different user needs and charging scenarios is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The holographic display system serves multiple functions within a single device: it provides navigation guidance, displays step-by-step charging instructions, shows real-time charging status, and offers troubleshooting information. This multi-functional approach enhances adaptability to different user needs and charging scenarios without requiring separate specialized devices for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from static displays to dynamic holographic projections that can change in real-time based on user interaction and charging status. The holographic images can be updated, rotated, and adjusted according to different charging scenarios and user requirements, providing adaptability while maintaining a relatively simple underlying hardware architecture.
