Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If hardware implementation with fixed algorithms is used, then processing speed is improved, but adjustability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidadjustability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adapts image processing parameters based on captured image data. Instead of fixed hardware algorithms, the system adjusts processing parameters (such as brightness, contrast, saturation) dynamically according to the specific image characteristics and user preferences, resolving the contradiction between fixed processing speed and flexible adjustability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes processing parameters based on image analysis results. By analyzing captured images and automatically adjusting processing parameters (exposure compensation, white balance, color saturation), the system achieves both efficient processing and high adaptability without requiring fixed hardware algorithms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If easy-to-use automation software is used, then ease of operation is improved, but adjustability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of useVSAvoidadjustability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic image analysis and self-adjusts processing parameters without requiring user intervention. It automatically analyzes captured images, determines optimal processing parameters, and applies adjustments, providing both ease of use and adaptability through intelligent automation rather than predefined modes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where processing results are analyzed and used to automatically adjust subsequent processing parameters. This closed-loop approach allows the system to maintain ease of operation while achieving high adjustability through continuous automatic optimization based on actual image quality and user preferences

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If professional software with multiple adjustment means is used, then adjustability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadjustabilityVSAvoidease of use
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary automatic analysis and parameter optimization before user intervention is needed. By pre-processing images and automatically determining optimal parameters, the system eliminates the need for users to navigate complex software interfaces, providing both high adjustability and ease of use through advance automatic preparation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system acts as an intermediary between the user and complex processing operations. It automatically translates user preferences and image characteristics into optimal processing parameters, shielding users from the complexity of multiple adjustment means while still achieving high adjustability through intelligent parameter management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
