Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional gift machines lack interactivity with players and between players, making them unattractive due to monotony and difficulty in interaction.

Innovation Solution

A master control system and Android manipulation system are introduced, connecting a master computer to slave computers, gift machine bodies, and lattice screens, along with an Android program and hanging ring hosts, enabling interactive gameplay and player interaction through an Android program that sends instructions to the master computer, which controls and displays content on lattice screens.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a traditional gift machine is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the interactivity with players and between players is insufficient, making it unattractive

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveinteractivityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into multiple independent components: master control unit, slave control units, Android manipulation terminals, lattice screens, and gift machine bodies. Each component can function independently but communicates through standardized protocols, allowing the system to maintain simplicity while enabling complex interactive features through modular architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The master control unit acts as an intermediary between the Android manipulation terminals and the gift machine bodies. It receives instructions from players via Android devices, processes them, and coordinates with slave control units to execute actions, thereby enabling interactivity without requiring direct complex connections between all components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the gift machine structure is kept simple, then manufacturing is easier, but player interaction and engagement are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayer interaction capabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The master control unit and slave control units are designed with universal interfaces and standardized communication protocols that can accommodate multiple types of gift machines and interaction modes. This allows a single control unit design to serve multiple functions and machine types, maintaining manufacturing simplicity while enabling diverse player interaction capabilities

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

Solution Approach 2:

The Android manipulation terminals allow players to directly control and interact with the gift machine through their own devices. The system provides self-service interaction where players use their personal smartphones or tablets to send instructions, view information, and engage with the game, reducing the need for complex built-in interaction hardware

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
