Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual switching process is used to switch communication connection between wireless devices, then connection switching can be achieved, but the process becomes complicated and requires multiple manual operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection switching operationVSAvoidswitching process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal automatically monitors distances between itself and multiple wireless earphones, and autonomously switches communication connections based on distance threshold comparisons without requiring user intervention. The system serves itself by automatically detecting spatial relationships and making connection decisions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses distance parameters as the basis for automatic connection switching. By monitoring changes in distance parameters between the terminal and wireless earphones, and comparing them against threshold values, the system dynamically adjusts connection states based on spatial parameter changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If automatic switching based on distance thresholds is implemented, then connection switching efficiency is improved and user interaction is reduced, but distance measurement and comparison operations are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection switching efficiencyVSAvoiddistance measurement and comparison
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with automated electronic distance measurement and comparison operations. The terminal uses electronic sensors and processors to automatically measure distances and compare them against stored threshold values, eliminating the need for manual intervention while enabling efficient automatic switching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A method for establishing a communication connection and related products are provided. The method is applicable to a terminal. The terminal is in communication connection with a first earphone of wireless earphones. The first earphone is in communication connection with a second earphone of the wireless earphones. The method includes the following. A first distance between the terminal and the first earphone, a second distance between the terminal and the second earphone, and a third distance between the first earphone and the second earphone are determined. The communication connection between the terminal and the first earphone is disconnected when the first distance is greater than the second distance and the third distance is greater than or equal to a first threshold value. A communication connection between the terminal and the second earphone is established.
