Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If software-based remote control is used, then remote control functionality is achieved, but device processing load increases and reliability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedevice stabilityVSAvoidsoftware complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces software-based remote control with a hardware-based transmitter that directly interfaces with the display output. The transmitter captures display screen data through a digital interface and encodes it using hardware encoding circuits, eliminating the need for software encoding on the source device. This hardware substitution reduces the source device's processing burden and improves reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the encoding function from the source device's software system and relocates it to a separate hardware transmitter. The transmitter independently performs encoding of display screen data, freeing the source device from this computationally intensive task and preventing processing slowdowns or crashes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Manufacturing precision

If high-quality display screen encoding is performed, then image quality is improved, but processing speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveimage qualityVSAvoidprocessing speed

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses hardware encoding circuits in the transmitter to perform high-quality encoding of display screen data. Hardware encoding provides consistent performance and does not burden the source device's processor, maintaining both high image quality and source device processing speed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple tasks are performed simultaneously on the source device, then functionality is increased, but system stability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedevice functionalityVSAvoidsystem stability

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the remote control encoding task from the source device's software system and assigns it to a dedicated hardware transmitter. This allows the source device to perform multiple tasks simultaneously without the additional burden of encoding, maintaining system stability while preserving full functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Adaptability or versatility

If software remote control program is installed, then remote control capability is added, but device resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces software-based remote control with a hardware transmitter that independently encodes and transmits display data. The source device only needs to provide display output through a digital interface, significantly reducing energy consumption while maintaining remote control capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
