Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of moving object

If conventional long range communication methods are used, then data transmission is achieved, but the transmission range is too large and cannot provide short-range wireless communication functionality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication rangeVSAvoidapplicability in short-range scenarios
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The display panel electrodes are configured to serve dual functions: displaying visual information and transmitting/receiving data signals. Different regions of the display panel can operate with different functions - the display function for visual output and the communication function for data transmission when in proximity to another device, achieving local quality differentiation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The display panel and its electrodes are designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously - serving as both a visual display interface and a wireless communication interface. This multi-functionality allows the same component to adapt to different communication ranges and scenarios without requiring separate dedicated hardware.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If unidirectional data transmission is implemented, then data can be received from the system, but bidirectional interaction and response data transmission are not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reception capabilityVSAvoidbidirectional interaction capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The visual interface display apparatus is equipped with both receiving and transmitting capabilities through its display panel electrodes. When the apparatus receives data from the system, it can process this information and transmit response data back to the system, creating a feedback loop that enables bidirectional interaction and enhances the operational capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of manufacture

If the display panel is used only for visual display, then display functionality is maintained, but wireless data transmission and interaction capabilities are not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay functionVSAvoidwireless communication function
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The display panel electrodes are configured to serve dual functions: displaying visual information and transmitting/receiving data signals. Different regions of the display panel can operate with different functions - the display function for visual output and the communication function for data transmission when in proximity to another device, achieving local quality differentiation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the display function and wireless communication function into a single integrated system. The display panel and its electrode structure are combined to perform both visual display and data transmission/reception, eliminating the need for separate dedicated communication hardware and expanding the functionality of the visual interface display apparatus.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
