Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional paper boards are used for displaying information, then the implementation is simple and成本低, but the efficiency is low and resource consumption is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation display efficiencyVSAvoidpaper consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical paper-based information display system with an electronic display system. The electronic board uses a display screen, communication circuit, and control circuit to receive, process, and display information digitally, eliminating the need for physical paper boards and enabling efficient remote updates and dual-sided display capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If electronic board with dual-sided display is used, then the information display capability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay flexibilityVSAvoidcircuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functions into integrated circuits: the control circuit manages both display screen control and communication circuit operations; the communication circuit handles both data reception and positioning signal transmission; and the display system integrates dual-sided display capability into a single unified device, reducing overall system complexity despite enhanced functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of operation

If wireless communication is used for data transmission, then the ease of operation is improved, but the energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote editing convenienceVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The communication circuit operates in periodic cycles: remaining in low-power state during idle periods and activating only when data transmission or reception is required. The circuit wakes up to receive handshake protocol messages and board content, processes the data, and then returns to sleep mode, thereby enabling remote editing functionality while minimizing overall energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

4Measurement precision

If positioning signal transmission is added to determine board position, then the measurement precision is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposition determination accuracyVSAvoidcommunication circuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The communication circuit is designed with multi-functionality: it simultaneously handles data stream reception for display content, positioning signal transmission for location determination, and handshake protocol communication for device activation. By consolidating these functions into a single communication module rather than separate circuits, the patent achieves precise position determination without proportionally increasing device complexity.

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