Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device is placed at an angle relative to the horizontal plane, then the detection range is expanded, but the point detection accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the placement angle through sensors and automatically adjusts the parameter correction values stored in memory. When the electronic device detects a change in placement angle, it retrieves appropriate correction data and applies it to compensate for the angular deviation, thereby maintaining accurate point detection regardless of device orientation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic parameter correction by storing multiple sets of correction values corresponding to different placement angles. The system switches between these parameter sets based on the detected angle, allowing accurate point detection whether the device is placed horizontally, vertically, or at intermediate angles
2Speed
If the dice and electronic device maintain continuous communication state, then the responsiveness is improved, but the power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication system operates in periodic cycles rather than continuously. The electronic device enters low-power sleep modes between communication events, waking only when triggered by specific conditions such as dice rolling detection or user interaction, thereby maintaining responsiveness while significantly reducing overall power consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs event-driven communication where the electronic device autonomously activates communication functions only when necessary. Sensors detect physical events (such as dice being rolled or placed), which automatically trigger communication sequences without requiring continuous polling or manual activation, optimizing the balance between responsiveness and energy efficiency
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sensors operate with multiple modes simultaneously, then the functionality is enhanced, but the computational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The computational system divides processing tasks into distinct segments corresponding to different sensor types and detection modes. Each sensor module operates independently with its own processing pipeline, allowing the system to activate only the specific computational segments needed for the current game mode, thereby reducing overall computational complexity while maintaining diverse functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically configures which sensors and processing modes are active based on the current game state and requirements. Rather than running all sensors and modes simultaneously, the system adapts its computational architecture in real-time, enabling or disabling specific processing paths to match the active game mode, thus optimizing the balance between functionality and computational load
