Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If the electronic device changes communication protocol and frequency band in response to form changes, then battery efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication module dynamically switches between different communication protocols (WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular) and frequency bands based on the real-time form state of the flexible display device. This dynamic adaptation allows the device to optimize energy consumption for each form state while maintaining communication functionality, resolving the contradiction between battery efficiency and operational simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes communication parameters (protocol type, frequency band) in response to form changes of the flexible display. By linking communication parameter selection to the physical state of the device, the system achieves energy optimization without requiring complex manual intervention, thus improving battery efficiency while keeping the control mechanism relatively simple.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device switches between multiple communication schemes, then adaptability is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication module pre-configures multiple communication schemes and frequency bands before form changes occur. When a form change is detected, the system can immediately switch to the pre-prepared communication configuration, minimizing switching time while maintaining high adaptability to different form states.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors the form state of the flexible display and provides feedback to the communication module. This feedback mechanism enables the communication system to automatically adjust and switch schemes in response to form changes, achieving high adaptability while reducing manual intervention time and optimizing the switching process.
