Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If unidirectional control training is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the loss of information about training reception and intensity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol mechanismVSAvoidtraining signal reception confirmation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements bidirectional communication where the receiver sends response signals to the transmitter to confirm receipt of training signals. The transmitter receives these response signals and provides visual confirmation through lights or displays, creating a closed-loop feedback system that eliminates information loss about training signal reception and intensity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Device complexity

If visual confirmation only is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation for perceiving training intensity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback mechanismVSAvoidtraining intensity perception
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends feedback from a single visual dimension to multiple sensory dimensions by incorporating audio output modules that provide sound-based feedback corresponding to different training intensities. This multi-dimensional feedback approach enhances the ease of perceiving training intensity while maintaining reasonable device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multi-grade press strengths or grip strengths are implemented, then the adaptability of training intensity control is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining intensity controlVSAvoidperception input module
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a perception input module that can detect multiple types of input forces (press strengths and grip strengths) using a unified sensor system. This multi-functional approach allows the device to handle various training intensity control methods while avoiding the complexity of separate detection systems for each input type.

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