Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If human operators manually enter data with a computer mouse or similar input device, then the system can create haptics data for video, but the process becomes labor-intensive, time-consuming and costly with imprecise synchronization

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesynchronization precisionVSAvoiddata creation time

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The phallic device automatically detects and records manipulation forces through integrated sensors, eliminating the need for human operators to manually enter data. The device self-generates haptics data by measuring forces along its longitudinal axis during use, thereby resolving the contradiction between synchronization precision and data creation time.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical data entry with automated force sensing technology. Pressure transducers and force sensors detect manipulation forces directly, substituting the mechanical mouse-based input system with an automated sensing system that provides both precision and efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Extent of automation

If computer vision techniques are used to detect motion in the video, then automation is improved, but the system fails when phallic device actions are not clearly visible or not in the field of view

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata generation automationVSAvoiddetection reliability

Core Design Contradiction:

Extent of automationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces force sensors as an intermediary between the phallic device manipulation and the data recording system. Instead of relying on visual detection, the sensors directly measure forces applied to the device, providing reliable automated data generation even when actions are not visible to cameras.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces optical-based computer vision detection with force-based sensing. By measuring mechanical forces directly through pressure transducers and force sensors, the system achieves reliable automation independent of visual conditions, camera angles, or lighting.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Measurement precision

If touch sensitive phallic devices with integrated sensors are used, then direct detection of actor actions is achieved, but the cost increases and user choice is limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaction detection precisionVSAvoiddevice cost

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the sensing system from the phallic device structure. Force sensors and pressure transducers are positioned at the base of the device rather than requiring distributed touch sensitivity throughout, simplifying manufacturing and reducing costs while maintaining detection precision.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal base module with force sensing capability that can be adapted to various phallic device designs. The pressure transducer at the base serves multiple functions: detecting manipulation forces, providing haptics feedback, and enabling data recording, thereby reducing overall system cost and increasing compatibility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
