Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If face recognition registration is implemented, then security and confidentiality are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically captures video data from the camera, detects faces, extracts facial features, and completes registration without requiring manual user input or interaction. The electronic whiteboard autonomously performs the entire face recognition registration process, reducing the need for complex manual configuration while enhancing security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the state of the electronic whiteboard from an accessible state to a locked state based on facial recognition results. By dynamically adjusting the accessibility parameter of the board based on whether a face is recognized and authorized, the system achieves security without requiring complex hardware modifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of time

If automatic face registration is used, then registration time is reduced, but measurement precision may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveregistration timeVSAvoidface recognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously captures video frames and processes facial data in real-time during the registration process. By maintaining continuous video capture and processing without interruption, the system efficiently extracts accurate facial features while minimizing registration time, achieving both speed and precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual face registration procedures with automated computer vision algorithms. By substituting mechanical manual input with automated image processing and facial recognition algorithms, the system achieves both rapid registration and high measurement precision through computational methods.

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

3Measurement precision

If video data processing is implemented, then face recognition accuracy is improved, but use of energy increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveface recognition accuracyVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary facial feature information from the video data using face detection and recognition algorithms. By extracting and processing only the relevant facial characteristics rather than the entire video stream, the system achieves accurate face recognition while minimizing energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system processes video data selectively, analyzing only the frames and regions containing facial information rather than processing the entire video stream continuously. This partial processing approach maintains face recognition accuracy while reducing overall energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
