Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional flicker testing methods are used, then the testing process is simple, but the accuracy of flicker degree measurement is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflicker degree measurement accuracyVSAvoidtesting system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the brightness data into multiple time periods corresponding to human visual persistence time. By dividing the measurement into segments aligned with human visual characteristics, the system achieves more accurate flicker detection without requiring overly complex equipment, thus improving measurement precision while keeping the system relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of time period duration to match human visual persistence time. This parameter adjustment allows the measurement system to align with human visual characteristics, improving flicker degree measurement accuracy by making the measurement cycle correspond to when humans can actually perceive brightness changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If flicker degree parameter is determined without considering human visual characteristics, then the measurement process is fast, but the accuracy reflects human observation is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy reflecting human observationVSAvoidmeasurement time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs periodic action by using time periods that repeat according to human visual persistence characteristics. This periodic measurement approach ensures that each measurement cycle aligns with when human eyes can detect brightness changes, thereby improving the accuracy of reflecting human observation while maintaining efficient measurement timing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adjusts the time period parameter to match human visual persistence time. This parameter change ensures that measurements are taken at intervals that correspond to human visual capabilities, improving the relevance of measurement results to human observation without significantly increasing total measurement time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of manufacture

If display brightness data is processed without time-domain continuity, then data processing is simpler, but the difficulty of accurate flicker analysis increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing easeVSAvoidflicker analysis difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the brightness data into continuous time-domain segments aligned with visual persistence time. This segmentation creates a continuous time-domain signal that is easier to process analytically while maintaining the temporal relationships necessary for accurate flicker detection, thus reducing processing difficulty.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent ensures continuity of useful action by maintaining time-domain continuity in the processed data. By keeping the data continuous in the time domain throughout the processing steps, the system simplifies the analysis process while accurately capturing flicker phenomena that depend on temporal continuity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
