Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If health information is displayed on external electronic devices, then information accessibility and convenience are improved, but user privacy and security may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidprivacy risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments health information into multiple display levels (first level information and second level information), where different types of health data are categorized and displayed according to their sensitivity. This allows selective sharing of information with external devices, enabling users to access convenient information display while protecting sensitive health data through hierarchical classification and controlled disclosure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of information

If multiple levels of health information are transmitted to external devices, then information completeness is improved, but data transmission complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-classifying health information into different display levels before transmission to external devices. The electronic device identifies and categorizes first level information and second level information in advance, establishing a structured framework for information sharing. This pre-processing reduces the complexity of real-time data handling during transmission, as the classification and filtering of information have already been performed, enabling efficient multi-level data exchange without overwhelming processing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Object-affected harmful factors

If health information display is controlled based on user settings and device context, then privacy protection is improved, but system control mechanisms become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprivacy protectionVSAvoidcontrol mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic control mechanisms that adapt the display of health information based on real-time conditions. The system dynamically adjusts what information is displayed on external devices according to user settings, device context, and connection status. This dynamic approach allows the control mechanism to respond flexibly to changing conditions without requiring overly complex predetermined rules, as the system can modify information display behavior in real-time based on current context and user preferences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
