Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional ID assignment methods are used for multiple data driving parts, then unique IDs can be assigned to each device, but additional circuit configurations and pins are required, increasing manufacturing complexity and time
Solution Approach 1:
The existing communication lines (first and second communication lines) are made multi-functional by using them for both data transmission and ID assignment purposes. The data processing device transmits both image data and identification patterns through these communication lines, eliminating the need for dedicated ID assignment circuits or additional pins.
Solution Approach 2:
Each data driving part automatically trains and recognizes its own unique ID by processing the identification pattern transmitted to it. The data driving part stores the identification pattern as its own ID through self-training, without requiring external circuit assistance or manual configuration.
2Reliability
If traditional ID assignment methods are used for multiple data driving parts, then unique IDs can be assigned to each device, but the assignment process takes more time, reducing manufacturing efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The identification patterns are transmitted and stored in the data driving parts during the initial setup phase before actual operation begins. By completing the ID assignment process in advance through the communication lines, the system avoids time-consuming ID configuration during manufacturing or deployment.
Solution Approach 2:
The mechanical or manual ID assignment process is replaced with an automated digital transmission system. The data processing device electronically transmits identification patterns through communication lines, and the data driving parts automatically receive and store them, eliminating the need for physical circuit configuration or manual ID setting.
3Reliability
If additional circuit configurations and pins are added for ID assignment, then unique IDs can be assigned to multiple data driving parts, but manufacturing costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The communication lines are designed to serve multiple functions including data transmission, control signaling, and ID assignment. By making these existing communication infrastructure elements multi-functional, the system eliminates the need for additional dedicated circuits or pins that would increase manufacturing costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The ID assignment function is merged with the existing data communication functionality. The same communication lines and protocols used for transmitting image data are also used for transmitting identification patterns, combining multiple functions into a single integrated system rather than requiring separate dedicated hardware for each function.
