Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional game controllers are used, then device simplicity is maintained, but performance tracking capability is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the game controller with an integrated display screen and performance tracking system into a single unified device. The controller includes a processor that captures performance metrics, a memory that stores data, and a display that shows real-time feedback, merging multiple functions (control, measurement, storage, display) into one integrated system rather than separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The game controller is designed to perform multiple functions beyond basic control input. It simultaneously serves as a performance measurement device (capturing metrics like accuracy, speed, reaction time), a data storage device (memory storing performance data), and a feedback display device (showing performance metrics on-screen), making it a multi-functional universal device.
2Loss of information
If real-time performance tracking is implemented, then user feedback is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The performance tracking system operates by capturing performance metrics at periodic intervals during gameplay rather than continuously monitoring all inputs. The processor captures performance data at specific moments when performance events occur, and the display updates at regular intervals, reducing energy consumption compared to continuous real-time monitoring.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller's integrated system automatically captures, processes, stores, and displays performance data without requiring external devices or additional power sources. The processor handles data capture and processing, memory automatically stores the data, and the display shows feedback, creating a self-sufficient system that minimizes external energy requirements.
3Adaptability or versatility
If customizable settings are added, then user adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated display screen serves as an intermediary interface between the user and the controller's settings system. Users can navigate and customize performance tracking parameters, control settings, and feedback preferences through the on-screen display, which mediates the interaction without requiring complex physical controls or external programming devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller's settings and performance tracking parameters are designed to be dynamically adjustable during gameplay. Users can modify customization options on-the-fly through the integrated display, allowing the device to adapt to changing user preferences and gameplay conditions without requiring reconfiguration or complex setup procedures.
Data Source
AI summary
This disclosure describes a system that allows a user to track performance metrics from a game controller. These performance metrics are displayed on a screen of the game controller. In addition to the game controller, the disclosed system may comprise an app, on a device external from the game controller, that is also able to display the performance metrics as they are updated.
