Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the optical fingerprint detection apparatus is installed on the middle frame during mass production, then the detection system can be calibrated according to the installation distance, but the middle frame may bend or displace under strong impact, causing the installation distance to change and deteriorating the detection effect
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the Dynamics principle by making the installation distance adjustable rather than fixed. The optical fingerprint detection apparatus can dynamically adapt to different installation distances through automated calibration that adjusts the distance between the optical component and the display screen, allowing the system to maintain optimal performance despite frame bending or displacement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements Parameter changes by automatically adjusting the installation distance parameter based on detected image quality. The system measures the actual installation distance and modifies it to optimize the fingerprint detection image quality, thereby maintaining reliable detection效果 even when the middle frame deforms.
2Ease of manufacture
If the optical fingerprint detection apparatus is installed on the middle frame, then the system can be assembled during mass production, but manufacturing tolerance causes fluctuations in installation distance, resulting in deteriorated detection and identification effect
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the Feedback principle by implementing an automated calibration process that measures the actual installation distance and uses this information to adjust the optical component position. The system continuously monitors and adjusts the installation distance to compensate for manufacturing tolerances, ensuring optimal detection performance without requiring extremely precise initial assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements Self-service through the automated calibration function that allows the fingerprint detection system to self-adjust its installation distance. The system autonomously measures the actual distance and performs necessary adjustments without requiring manual intervention, thereby compensating for manufacturing variations and maintaining detection precision.
3Reliability
If the installation distance between the optical fingerprint detection apparatus and the display screen changes, then the system must be recalibrated, but manual recalibration is time-consuming and affects user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements Self-service by enabling the fingerprint detection system to automatically recalibrate when installation distance changes. The automated calibration process autonomously detects the new distance, adjusts the optical component position, and optimizes detection parameters without requiring manual intervention, thereby maintaining reliable detection效果 while minimizing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies Preliminary action by performing automated calibration adjustments in advance or in real-time when distance changes are detected. The system proactively adjusts the installation distance parameters before detection quality deteriorates significantly, ensuring continuous optimal performance without requiring time-consuming manual recalibration.
