Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional product testing systems are used to test multiple technical features under various parameters, then comprehensive testing coverage is achieved, but the testing process becomes lengthy and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses digital images as copies of the actual product interface, allowing testers to interact with visual representations rather than physical prototypes. Cursor tracking on these digital images enables comprehensive feature testing without the time constraints of physical product manipulation
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual physical testing with automated cursor tracking technology. The tracking device automatically records cursor movements and interactions on digital images, substituting mechanical human operations with automated digital tracking, thereby reducing testing time while maintaining comprehensive coverage
2Measurement precision
If detailed tracking of cursor movements and selections is implemented, then testing data accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The tracking device serves multiple functions: it tracks cursor position, records selections, captures timing data, and generates test results. This multi-functionality achieves high measurement precision without proportionally increasing system complexity, as one device handles multiple tracking requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically processes tracking data without requiring manual intervention. The tracking device self-generates test reports and stores data in databases, reducing the operational complexity despite detailed tracking capabilities
3Ease of operation
If interactive testing environments with digital images are used, then ease of operation is improved, but data management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces a database as an intermediary layer between the tracking device and data users. The database structure automatically organizes tracking data, images, and test results, simplifying data management despite the complexity of interactive testing environments
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-structures the database with appropriate fields and relationships before testing begins. This preliminary data organization framework is established in advance, making data management easier during the actual testing process despite the interactive complexity
