Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a fixed rectangular display area is used in video communication, then the device structure is simple, but the communication naturalness and user comfort are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The display area shape is changed from a fixed rectangular form to a dynamic form that varies according to user state. The control unit adjusts the display area shape in real-time based on analysis results from imaging devices and sensor devices, making the display adaptable to different communication scenarios and user conditions, thereby improving communication naturalness.
Solution Approach 2:
The shape parameter of the display area is changed based on user state analysis. By analyzing parameters such as user position, gaze direction, and physiological state from imaging and sensor data, the system dynamically adjusts the display area shape parameters to optimize communication effectiveness and user comfort.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display area shape is dynamically adjusted based on user analysis, then the communication experience is improved, but the system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-adjustment by automatically analyzing user state data from imaging devices and sensor devices, and the control unit independently determines and implements display area shape changes without requiring manual intervention. This self-service mechanism reduces the need for complex external control systems while maintaining high adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where user state is continuously monitored through imaging and sensor devices, the control unit analyzes this feedback data, and adjusts the display area shape accordingly. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables the system to adapt to changing user conditions while maintaining manageable complexity through automated decision-making.
3Measurement precision
If user state analysis is performed using imaging and sensor devices, then the communication naturalness is enhanced, but the data processing load and analysis complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit performs multiple functions including data acquisition from imaging and sensor devices, user state analysis, and display control within a single integrated component. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized processing systems, thereby managing complexity while maintaining high measurement precision through comprehensive data analysis.
