Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If exclusively designed motherboards and heat dissipation systems are used, then computer performance and reliability are improved, but development costs and design time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by using a standardized notebook computer motherboard that can serve multiple functions and configurations. This standard motherboard design allows the all-in-one computer to achieve reliable computing performance without requiring exclusive custom motherboard development, thereby reducing both development costs and design time while maintaining system reliability
2Adaptability or versatility
If customized motherboards are designed, then system optimization is improved, but development costs and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a universal standardized motherboard design that maintains system optimization capabilities while avoiding the high costs of customized motherboard development. This approach allows for adaptable configurations through software and peripheral components rather than hardware customization, reducing manufacturing complexity and development expenses
3Ease of operation
If fixed lens configuration is used, then device simplicity is maintained, but flexibility for various usage requirements decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by making the lens assembly movable rather than fixed. The lens can be adjusted to different positions and angles, allowing the system to adapt to various usage scenarios such as video conferencing, content creation, and multi-device collaboration while maintaining relatively simple operation through intuitive physical adjustment
