Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If fixed imaging control content is used based on detected tag ID, then the system is simple to operate, but the adaptability to diverse user needs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-registering multiple imaging control contents associated with different tag IDs before actual imaging operations. When a tag is detected, the system simply selects from the pre-configured options, maintaining ease of operation while enabling diverse imaging control scenarios through advance preparation of multiple control settings.
2Device complexity
If fixed imaging control content is used, then the device complexity is low, but the adaptability to different imaging scenarios deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging control device performs preliminary registration of multiple imaging control contents associated with different tag IDs in advance. This allows the system to handle diverse imaging scenarios without increasing operational complexity, as the plurality of control options are prepared beforehand and selected automatically based on detected tag IDs.
Solution Approach 2:
The imaging control device achieves multi-functionality by being capable of controlling multiple different imaging operations (distribution, accumulation, deletion, reproduction) through a single unified system. By registering multiple imaging control contents associated with different tag IDs, the device can adapt to various imaging scenarios without requiring separate specialized systems for each function.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple imaging control contents are registered in advance, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system resolves the complexity issue by performing all configuration and registration operations in advance during a setup phase. During actual imaging operations, the system simply detects tag IDs and selects from pre-registered control contents, maintaining low operational complexity while achieving high adaptability through the pre-established database of imaging control options.
