Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If signals are transmitted through long conductive elements (wires, cables, circuit layers), then the sensing device can be separated from the processing device, but noise and interference problems become severe, affecting transmission properties and sensing quality
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing device is integrated directly into the insole structure, merging the sensing function with the wearable substrate. This eliminates long conductive transmission paths by placing the sensing elements at the point of contact with the foot, thereby maintaining separability from external processing devices while preventing noise and interference in signal transmission.
2Device complexity
If conventional conductive elements are used for signal transmission, then the device structure is simple, but noise and interference affect transmission properties and sensing quality
Solution Approach 1:
The insole serves as an intermediary substrate that directly supports the sensing elements. By using the insole material itself as the transmission medium rather than separate wires or cables, the system achieves simple structure while the direct integration minimizes noise and interference, improving signal transmission quality.
3Adaptability or versatility
If long transmission paths are used between sensing devices and processing devices, then device integration is reduced, but noise and interference become severe, affecting transmission properties
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing device transitions from a separate external component to an integrated element within the insole's three-dimensional structure. By embedding sensing elements directly into the insole material, the system maintains design flexibility and adaptability while eliminating long transmission paths, thereby preserving transmission properties and reducing noise.
