Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If energy consumption is calculated based only on exercise duration, then the calculation method is simple, but the accuracy of energy consumption calculation is greatly reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameters used for energy calculation from only duration to include deformation degree and deformation duration. The sensor detects multiple parameters (deformation degree, deformation duration) to compute energy consumption, thereby improving accuracy while maintaining reasonable system complexity through the use of a single sensor array.
2Measurement precision
If deformation information from multiple detection points is used to calculate energy consumption, then the accuracy of energy calculation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the elastic mat into multiple detection points with sensors distributed across the surface. Each detection point independently measures deformation, and the processor aggregates data from all segments to calculate total energy consumption. This segmentation enables accurate multi-point measurement while keeping each sensor unit simple and modular.
