Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wired cables are used to connect display apparatus and audio apparatus, then reliable data transfer is achieved, but installation becomes restrictive and appearance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical wired connection system with a wireless communication system. The display apparatus and audio apparatus communicate audio data wirelessly, eliminating the need for physical cables while maintaining reliable data transfer through wireless communication protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a wireless communication module as an intermediary between the display apparatus and audio apparatus. This intermediary enables data transfer without direct physical connection, resolving the contradiction between reliable transfer and installation convenience.
2Measurement precision
If manual setup is required for multi-channel audio apparatus, then precise sound configuration is achieved, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic position recognition functionality where the display apparatus autonomously detects the positions of audio apparatus and automatically configures sound settings. This self-service mechanism eliminates manual setup requirements while maintaining precise sound configuration through automated algorithms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses feedback from position detection to automatically adjust sound configuration. The system detects the positions of audio apparatus, receives feedback information, and automatically configures multi-channel sound settings based on the detected spatial arrangement, eliminating the need for manual setup.
3Ease of operation
If wireless connection is implemented, then installation convenience is improved, but automatic position recognition capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple functions into the wireless communication system. The wireless module not only establishes communication connection but also performs position recognition and sound configuration tasks, making the system multi-functional and maintaining automation capability alongside wireless convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the position recognition function with the wireless communication function. By combining these functions, the system maintains automatic position recognition capability while implementing wireless connection, eliminating the trade-off between installation convenience and automation.
