Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional dental prosthesis processing methods are delayed due to the need for extensive data transmission and processing preparation, and low-cost embedded prosthesis processing units struggle to accurately represent CAD data, leading to potential errors in processing information.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that allow direct user interface input for processing preparation commands in the prosthesis processing unit, enabling advanced preparation work before data transmission and reducing the need for complex data requests, thereby minimizing user movement and preventing incorrect data transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If processing data and processing information are generated in the remote control unit and transmitted to the prosthesis processing unit before processing preparation, then the prosthesis can be processed according to the transmitted data, but the processing of the prosthesis is delayed due to the time required for data generation and transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The prosthesis processing unit performs processing preparation work in advance by receiving a processing preparation command through the user interface. This allows the unit to prepare the processing environment, load necessary software components, and configure parameters before the actual processing data is transmitted from the remote control unit, thereby reducing the overall processing time while maintaining accuracy
2Device complexity
If a low-performance embedded prosthesis processing unit is used to reduce cost, then the device complexity is reduced, but it is difficult to accurately represent CAD data and work details, leading to potential errors in processing information
Solution Approach 1:
The user interface acts as an intermediary that receives processing preparation commands from the user and transmits them to the prosthesis processing unit. This interface enables the low-performance embedded unit to accurately execute processing operations by providing a direct command input mechanism that eliminates the need for complex data interpretation, thereby maintaining data representation accuracy while keeping the system simple and cost-effective
