Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If integration methods (two-order integration of acceleration or one-order integration of speed) are used to calculate compression depth, then the calculation process is simple, but the accuracy is low due to large margin of error
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a transformation coefficient as an intermediary parameter that bridges the relationship between acceleration sensor data and compression depth. Instead of directly integrating acceleration to get depth, the system uses the transformation coefficient (derived from comparing second-order differential waveform of magnetic sensor data with acceleration waveform) to accurately convert acceleration measurements into compression depth, thereby eliminating the accumulation of integration errors while maintaining calculation feasibility
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the calculation parameter from direct integration of acceleration to a transformation-based approach using a coefficient that accounts for individual variability. By deriving the transformation coefficient from the ratio between second-order differential waveform of magnetic sensor output and acceleration sensor output, the system dynamically adjusts the calculation parameters to match individual chest characteristics, thus improving accuracy without excessive complexity
2Ease of operation
If a fixed relationship between compression force and compression depth is assumed, then the calculation is straightforward, but accuracy is poor due to individual variability in chest structure and bone strength
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static, fixed relationship model into a dynamic model that adapts to individual characteristics. The transformation coefficient is not a constant but is derived from real-time comparison between magnetic sensor second-order differential waveform and acceleration sensor waveform, allowing the system to dynamically adjust to each individual's chest structure, bone strength, and compression characteristics
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously comparing the second-order differential waveform from the magnetic sensor with the acceleration waveform from the acceleration sensor. This comparison provides feedback that is used to determine the transformation coefficient, ensuring that the calculation model adapts to the actual physical characteristics of the individual being measured, thereby improving accuracy while maintaining operational simplicity
