Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the terminal device uses a higher display frame rate to display images, then the display smoothness and visual experience are improved, but the power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay smoothnessVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic frame rate adjustment by continuously monitoring application types and switching between different frame rate modes (e.g., 60fps, 90fps, 120fps) based on real-time application requirements. The system transitions from static frame rate settings to dynamic adaptation, adjusting the display frame rate according to the specific needs of each application to optimize both smoothness and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the display frame rate parameter based on application type detection. By identifying different application categories (video playback, games, web browsing, etc.) and corresponding frame rate requirements, the system adjusts the frame rate parameter dynamically, achieving high smoothness for demanding applications while maintaining lower power consumption for less demanding ones.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Use of energy by stationary object

If the terminal device uses a lower display frame rate to reduce power consumption, then the power resources are saved, but the display smoothness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoiddisplay smoothness
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by stationary objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the frame rate parameter based on application requirements. For power-sensitive applications like web browsing or reading, the system selects lower frame rates to conserve power, while for applications requiring high smoothness like video playback or games, it increases the frame rate accordingly, thus optimizing the power-smoothness trade-off.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a dynamic power management strategy where the display frame rate is adjusted in real-time based on application type. The system transitions between different power consumption levels by switching frame rates, ensuring that power is consumed only when necessary for high smoothness, thereby saving power resources while maintaining display quality where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Use of energy by moving object

If the terminal device manually adjusts the display frame rate, then the power consumption can be controlled, but the user experience becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting application types and selecting appropriate frame rates without user intervention. The terminal device monitors running applications, identifies their frame rate requirements, and adjusts the display settings autonomously, eliminating the need for manual user configuration while optimizing power consumption and maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where it continuously monitors application type and performance requirements, then automatically adjusts the display frame rate in response. This closed-loop control allows the system to adapt to changing application demands in real-time, managing power consumption effectively while maintaining optimal user experience without requiring manual input from the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

4Reliability

If the terminal device uses a fixed display frame rate, then the system stability is maintained, but the adaptability to different application scenarios is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem stabilityVSAvoidapplication scenario adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the fixed frame rate system into a dynamic one that adapts to different application scenarios. By implementing real-time application type detection and corresponding frame rate adjustment, the system maintains stability through controlled transitions between predefined frame rate levels while simultaneously achieving adaptability to diverse application requirements such as video playback, gaming, and web browsing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the display frame rate parameter based on detected application types. By establishing a mapping between application categories and optimal frame rates, the system maintains stability through structured parameter selection while achieving versatility across different application scenarios, ensuring appropriate frame rates are applied for each type of application without requiring complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
