Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If an ophthalmoscope is used to obtain refractive information of fundus with large field of view by artificially refracting different viewing angles, then refractive distribution in horizontal and vertical directions can be obtained, but the process becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverefractive information accuracyVSAvoidmeasurement time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual refraction method with an optical imaging system that uses a camera to capture fundus images. The refractive information is obtained through image processing and calculation algorithms rather than manual manipulation, significantly reducing measurement time while maintaining accuracy.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a digital copy of the fundus refractive information through image capture and processing. Instead of manually measuring each point, the system captures the entire fundus area in an image and extracts refractive data through computational methods, enabling rapid acquisition of comprehensive refractive maps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Measurement precision

If an ophthalmoscope is used to measure refractive information, then refractive distribution can be obtained, but only in horizontal and vertical directions which cannot meet detection requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverefractive distribution coverageVSAvoiddetection capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from one-dimensional manual refraction measurements to two-dimensional comprehensive fundus imaging. By capturing the entire fundus area in an image and processing it to generate a refractive map across multiple directions and regions, the system provides全方位 (comprehensive) refractive distribution information that meets modern detection requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Ease of operation

If general refractometer is used, then measurement process is simple, but only the diopter of the macular area can be measured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement simplicityVSAvoidmeasurement area
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a multi-functional system that combines the simplicity of automated imaging with the capability to measure the entire fundus area. The same imaging system can capture both macular and peripheral regions, providing comprehensive coverage while maintaining ease of operation through automated image capture and processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
