Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a proportional type controller is used to control the drone, then the drone can be operated with traditional control methods, but the operation becomes extremely difficult and requires extensive practice
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical proportional controller with a motion recognition system that uses cameras and computer vision algorithms to detect and interpret human body movements. The control signals are generated automatically based on the detected motion, eliminating the need for manual manipulation of control sticks and reducing operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary motion recognition system between the operator and the drone. This intermediary system captures human motion through cameras, processes the motion data to generate control signals, and transmits these signals to the drone, thereby simplifying the direct control interface while maintaining precise control capability.
2Reliability
If traditional proportional control is used, then the control mechanism is well-established, but sufficient practice is required for safe operation
Solution Approach 1:
The motion recognition system operates autonomously by automatically detecting human motion, processing the motion data, and generating appropriate control signals without requiring the operator to manually control the drone. This self-service mechanism reduces the learning curve and practice time needed while maintaining reliable and safe operation through automated control signal generation.
3Ease of operation
If motion information is converted to operation signals based on conversion information, then the operation becomes easier and more intuitive, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The motion recognition system serves multiple functions: it detects human motion, processes motion data, generates control signals, and transmits them to the drone. By consolidating these functions into a single integrated system, the patent achieves intuitive control through natural motion mapping while managing overall system complexity through multi-functionality rather than adding separate components for each function.
