Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual control modes are used for recognition and data transmission, then device functionality is achieved, but user convenience and operational simplicity deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic recognition and data transmission without requiring manual user operations. The sensing unit detects actions automatically, the communication unit establishes connections and transmits data autonomously, and the control unit executes operations based on preset conditions, eliminating the need for user copying, pasting, or manual transmission steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-configures recognition conditions, data transmission rules, and operation execution parameters before actual use. When an action is detected, the system immediately executes the predetermined operations without requiring user decision-making or step-by-step control, thus achieving automated convenient operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Extent of automation

If automated recognition and data transmission are implemented, then user convenience is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation levelVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The automated system is divided into three independent functional modules: a sensing unit for detecting actions, a communication unit for data transmission, and a control unit for operation execution. Each module performs its specific function independently, which simplifies the overall system design and makes the complexity manageable through functional separation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sensing unit, communication unit, and control unit are designed to work together across different device types and scenarios. The system can handle various actions (touching, approaching, etc.), transmit different types of data, and execute multiple operations based on a unified automated framework, reducing the need for separate specialized systems

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

AI summary

An electronic apparatus and an information processing method, which are related to a field of electronic technique, are described. The electronic apparatus includes a first sensing unit configured to sense first sensing data representing an action of the electronic apparatus; a communication unit for broadcasting a first identification information itself and the first sensing data sensed by the first sensing unit to an external second apparatus, and receiving a second identification information and a second sensing data broadcasted from the external second apparatus; and a control unit for controlling the electronic apparatus to execute a preset operation based on a decision result whether the first sensing data and the second sensing data satisfy predetermined conditions.
