Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If separately designed micro hub lamps are used, then the device structure is simple, but the display function is single and cannot meet intelligent display requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay functionVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the display function, imaging function, and control function into an integrated hub assembly. The hub includes a display unit, imaging unit (camera), and control unit that work together as a unified system, enabling the hub to perform both information display and environmental perception tasks simultaneously, thus improving adaptability while managing complexity through functional integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The hub is designed with multi-functionality, serving as both a display device for showing information and an imaging device for capturing environmental data. The control unit can process both display content and imaging data, making the hub a universal component that replaces multiple separate devices and enhances overall system versatility.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If a single display function is provided, then the device complexity is low, but it cannot meet increasing requirements for intelligent display

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintelligent imaging capabilityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the display unit and imaging unit into a single hub structure, allowing the hub to function as both a display device and an imaging device. The control unit integrates processing for both display operations and imaging operations, enabling intelligent functions while maintaining a unified, manageable system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The hub is designed as a multi-functional component that can display information and capture images simultaneously. The control unit provides universal processing capabilities for both display content and imaging data, making the hub adaptable to various intelligent display requirements without requiring separate specialized devices.

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