Innovation Solution
An electronic bead string comprising a main bead, secondary beads, a displacement sensor, memory, and processor that outputs two-dimensional displacement signals to determine approved rotation cycles, allowing users to count readings without manual input, even during movement, and transmits data to a computer device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If an electronic counter is used to count the number of times reading the Buddha, then the counting function is achieved, but the user's concentration is distracted
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic bead string automatically detects and counts bead rotations through the displacement sensor without requiring user intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously monitoring its own rotational movements and recording the counting data, eliminating the need for manual button pressing and allowing users to maintain their concentration on reading the Buddha.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical button-pressing counting method with an automated sensing system. The displacement sensor detects rotational movements and the processor automatically tallies the counts, substituting manual mechanical operation with automated electronic detection and calculation.
2Ease of operation
If manual button pressing is required for counting, then the counting can be controlled, but the user cannot focus on reading the Buddha
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs the counting function automatically through self-monitoring of rotational movements. The displacement sensor and processor work together to autonomously detect, record, and calculate the number of bead rotations without requiring any manual control actions from the user.
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional wearable devices are used, then the device functionality is provided, but the counting of reading times is not accurate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a displacement sensor to detect rotational movements and a processor to automatically calculate reading times based on detected rotations. This automated electronic detection and calculation system replaces traditional mechanical counting methods, significantly improving measurement precision while maintaining device adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors rotational movements through the displacement sensor and provides real-time feedback through automatic counting and data recording. The processor analyzes the detected movements and adjusts the counting accordingly, ensuring accurate tracking of reading times with immediate feedback on the number of completions.

AI summary
An electronic bead string includes a main bead, a plurality of secondary beads, a displacement sensor, a memory, and a processor. The main bead and the secondary beads are strung together to form a bead string. The displacement sensor is fixed in the main bead to output two-dimensional displacement signals, the memory stores the two-dimensional displacement signals, and the processor determines whether a rotation cycle of the electronic bead string is an approved rotation cycle according to the two-dimensional displacement signals.
