Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If existing hologram display devices use external displays and complex methodologies, then holographic output can be achieved, but device compactness and self-containment are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice compactnessVSAvoidself-containment capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple displays, control electronics, media storage, and holographic projection components into a single integrated device. The control electronics are configured to store and load media directly within the device, eliminating the need for external displays or complex external systems while maintaining holographic output capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If existing hologram devices allow only a single piece of media from a single display, then device simplicity is maintained, but user control and media manipulation capability are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser control capabilityVSAvoidmedia management system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device incorporates buttons and sensors that allow dynamic selection and manipulation of media. The control electronics can load different media files and adjust holographic display parameters based on user input, enabling interactive control without requiring complex manual operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of manufacture

If existing hologram display devices require external displays or complex electronics, then holographic effect can be achieved, but accessibility to average users is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser accessibilityVSAvoidelectronic system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device is designed to be self-contained with integrated control electronics that automatically manage media loading and holographic projection.
