Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If electroencephalogram detection capabilities and temperature control are integrated into the eyeshade, then monitoring accuracy and personalized comfort are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrain state monitoring accuracyVSAvoiddevice structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the electroencephalogram acquisition unit, controller, and heating unit into an integrated eyeshade system. The controller serves as a central hub that receives brain electrical signals from the electroencephalogram acquisition unit and controls the heating unit based on analyzed relaxation levels, merging multiple functional components into a single wearable device to achieve both monitoring accuracy and personalized comfort.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The eyeshade is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a traditional light-shielding eyeshade and as a medical monitoring device with electroencephalogram detection capabilities. The same device structure provides both eye comfort through heating and brain state monitoring, reducing the need for separate devices and managing complexity through universal design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of repair

If the controller is detachably coupled to the electroencephalogram acquisition unit, then ease of repair and adaptability are improved, but connection reliability may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent replacement easeVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The controller is designed as a detachable component that can be separated from the electroencephalogram acquisition unit through a data interface. This segmentation allows the controller to be replaced, upgraded, or maintained independently without affecting the electroencephalogram acquisition unit, improving ease of repair and adaptability while maintaining functional integrity through standardized connection protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
