Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If complex gestures (rotatable and press functions) are added to electronic devices, then functional versatility is improved, but misoperation rate increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the detection of user operations into multiple independent sensing apparatuses, each dedicated to detecting specific operation types (rotation, press, etc.). This segmentation allows the system to accurately distinguish between different gesture types and reduce misoperations while maintaining functional versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a processing apparatus as an intermediary between the sensing apparatuses and the system response. This intermediary classifies and interprets the raw sensing data, determining whether detected operations are intentional user gestures or accidental misoperations, thereby reducing misoperation rate while preserving versatile functionality.
2Measurement precision
If multiple sensing apparatuses are added to detect different operation types, then operation classification accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs sensing apparatuses that can detect multiple types of operations (rotation, press, and their combinations) using unified detection mechanisms. This multi-functionality approach allows accurate operation classification without proportionally increasing the number of sensing components, thereby managing device complexity while improving measurement precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the detection capabilities for different operation types into integrated sensing apparatuses. Instead of using completely separate sensors for each operation type, the system combines detection functions to accurately classify rotation, press, and composite operations while minimizing the increase in device complexity.
