Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wired connection is used to connect multiple display devices, then connection stability is improved, but device complexity and port requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical wired connection system with a wireless communication system. Multiple display devices communicate wirelessly through wireless communication modules, eliminating the need for physical ports and cables while maintaining connection functionality. This resolves the contradiction by removing the mechanical connection requirement that increased device complexity.
2Ease of operation
If wireless connection is used to connect multiple display devices, then ease of operation is improved, but positioning complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service positioning through proximity sensors that automatically detect the relative positions of adjacent display devices. The system autonomously determines positioning information without user intervention, and the processing module automatically configures the combined display layout based on detected positions. This resolves the contradiction by making the system self-configuring rather than requiring manual positioning setup.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses proximity sensors to provide real-time feedback on the relative positions of display devices. This feedback information is processed to automatically adjust the display content distribution and layout, creating a closed-loop system that adapts to physical arrangements. This eliminates the need for manual positioning while maintaining operational simplicity.
3Measurement precision
If manual positioning and configuration is required for wireless display connection, then connection precision is improved, but operation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary positioning detection automatically when display devices are brought into proximity. The proximity sensors pre-detect relative positions and the processing module pre-configures the display layout before user interaction is needed. This preliminary automatic configuration eliminates manual setup time while maintaining positioning accuracy through the sensor-based detection system.
