Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If smart watch uses traditional simple reminder function, then device complexity is low, but measurement precision of body data is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The device segments the detection function into separate electrodes: a first electrode on the front surface and a second electrode on the back surface. This segmentation allows each electrode to be optimized for specific detection purposes while keeping the overall device structure relatively simple. The segmentation principle resolves the contradiction by dividing the complex detection task into manageable components without requiring a completely complex device architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The smart watch device achieves multi-functionality by integrating both traditional reminder functions and new body data detection functions into a single device. The electrodes are designed to detect multiple types of body data including heart rate, blood oxygen content, and other physiological parameters, making the device universal for both simple reminders and comprehensive health monitoring, thereby resolving the contradiction between functionality and complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If smart watch adds body data detection function, then adaptability is improved, but ease of operation becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The device implements self-service by automatically detecting and monitoring body data without requiring active user intervention. The electrodes continuously monitor physiological parameters such as heart rate and blood oxygen content, and the device automatically processes and displays this information. This self-service approach maintains ease of operation while significantly improving adaptability, as users don't need to manually operate complex detection mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The device merges the body data detection function with the existing smart watch interface and operation system. The detection results are integrated into the display and notification systems already familiar to users, combining new detection capabilities with existing operational patterns. This merging approach preserves ease of operation by using familiar interfaces while adding enhanced functionality through body data monitoring.
3Measurement precision
If smart watch uses two electrodes for detection, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device segments the detection system into two distinct electrodes positioned on opposite surfaces of the smart watch case. The first electrode is located on the front surface and the second electrode on the back surface, creating a simple yet effective configuration for detecting body signals. This segmentation achieves improved measurement precision through proper electrode placement while avoiding the complexity of multiple electrodes or complex signal processing systems.
