Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple default target energies are provided for selection, then the device offers more stimulation options, but not all energies are therapeutically effective or comfortable for the patient
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the target energy set based on the selected electrical stimulation level. When a higher stimulation level is chosen, the system automatically generates a corresponding higher target energy set, ensuring that the energy parameters remain therapeutically effective and comfortable for the patient while providing versatility across different stimulation intensities.
2Ease of operation
If a fixed target energy set is used for all stimulation levels, then the device is simpler to operate, but it cannot optimize energy delivery for different therapeutic needs
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the energy parameters automatically based on the selected electrical stimulation level. The controller generates different target energy sets corresponding to different stimulation levels, allowing the device to optimize therapeutic outcomes for various treatment needs while maintaining ease of operation through automatic parameter adjustment.
3Reliability
If the system automatically generates optimized target energy sets, then therapeutic effectiveness is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller automatically generates the appropriate target energy set based on the selected electrical stimulation level without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously adjusting energy parameters, which improves therapeutic effectiveness while minimizing the complexity burden on the user through automated control.

AI summary
An electrical stimulation method is provided. The electrical stimulation method is applied to an electrical stimulation device and an external control device. The electrical stimulation method includes the following steps. The predetermined electrical stimulation level that corresponds to the predetermined target energy is obtained by the external control device. The predetermined target energy is one of the target energies in the first target energy set. The external control device selects the target energy upper bound and the target energy lower bound from the first target energy set according to the predetermined electrical stimulation level. The external control device generates a second target energy set according to the target energy upper bound and the target energy lower bound. The electrical stimulation device performs electrical stimulation of the target area of a target object according to the second target energy set.
