Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If image-based health monitoring is implemented, then early disease detection capability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveearly disease detection capabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display apparatus integrates multiple functions including health monitoring, image processing, and medical analysis into a single device. The system can perform facial image analysis, body language recognition, and various health parameter detections simultaneously, making one device serve multiple purposes and reducing the need for separate specialized equipment.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a processing module as an intermediary between the image capture and analysis stages. This module handles image preprocessing, feature extraction, and coordinate transformation, acting as a mediator that simplifies the overall system architecture by breaking down complex tasks into manageable intermediate steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive health parameters are monitored, then health information accuracy is improved, but loss of time in processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealth information accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing images and pre-extracting features before actual health analysis. Reference images are stored and pre-processed, and the system prepares analysis templates in advance, so that when actual health monitoring is needed, the processing time is reduced while maintaining comprehensive health parameter detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The health monitoring process is segmented into multiple independent modules: image acquisition, feature extraction, parameter calculation, and result analysis. Each module handles specific tasks independently, allowing parallel processing and reducing overall processing time while maintaining comprehensive health information accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If ambient light compensation is applied, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage quality under varying light conditionsVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system compensates for ambient light changes by dynamically adjusting image processing parameters such as brightness, contrast, and color balance. The processing module detects ambient light conditions and modifies image parameters accordingly, maintaining measurement precision under varying light conditions without requiring additional hardware components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
