Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a user terminal connects to an external electronic apparatus using standard protocols and transmits all data corresponding to the function, then the external electronic apparatus can perform the required function, but the reactivity of the external electronic apparatus is reduced and the execution speed deteriorates due to large data transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential control information needed to operate the external electronic apparatus, rather than transmitting all data. The user terminal sends minimal instruction data to the external apparatus, which then autonomously executes the function using its own resources and capabilities, significantly reducing transmission data volume and improving execution speed while maintaining reliable function performance
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the data transmission process into two parts: (1) transmitting only essential control instructions from the user terminal to the external electronic apparatus, and (2) allowing the external apparatus to independently execute functions using its own resources. This segmentation reduces the data transmission burden and improves system reactivity
2Adaptability or versatility
If a user wants to use hardware or software functions of external electronic apparatuses, then various applications can be utilized, but separate applications must be installed for each external electronic apparatus or application, which is inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal connection mechanism where a single application on the user terminal can control multiple different external electronic apparatuses through standardized control protocols. The system automatically identifies and adapts to the connected apparatus type, eliminating the need for users to install separate applications for each device while maintaining full functionality and compatibility across different apparatus types
3Measurement precision
If all data corresponding to the function is transmitted from the user terminal to the external electronic apparatus, then the external electronic apparatus can execute the function accurately, but the amount of data transmitted is large, reducing reactivity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and transmits only the essential control parameters and instructions needed for accurate function execution, rather than transmitting complete data sets. The external electronic apparatus uses its own internal resources and pre-stored information to complete the function based on these minimal instructions, maintaining execution accuracy while dramatically reducing data transmission volume
