Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual processing and analysis of infrared human-body images is performed by trained doctors, then accurate determination of physical signs can be achieved, but the complexity of the diagnostic process increases and requires specialized training
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical processing system (doctor's visual inspection and analysis) with an automated computer-based image processing system. The system uses algorithms to automatically process infrared images, extract temperature distribution data, and determine physical signs, thereby eliminating the need for specialized manual training while maintaining diagnostic accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary computer-based analysis system that acts as a mediator between the infrared imaging device and the diagnostic decision-making process. This intermediary automatically processes the thermal data, identifies temperature anomalies, and provides objective measurements, reducing the complexity burden on doctors while preserving measurement precision.
2Ease of operation
If untrained or inexperienced doctors perform infrared image analysis, then the ease of operation increases, but the accuracy of determining physical signs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the human expert system with an automated computational system that performs all complex analysis tasks. Users only need to initiate the analysis process without requiring training in infrared interpretation, while the system automatically delivers accurate physical sign determinations through its embedded algorithms and processing capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically processing infrared images, extracting relevant thermal data, and generating diagnostic information without requiring user expertise. The automated analysis engine independently completes the complex tasks of temperature mapping, pattern recognition, and physical sign determination, making the tool accessible to users regardless of their training level.
3Productivity
If automated image processing is implemented, then productivity increases and human error is reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the automated processing system into distinct functional modules: image acquisition module, temperature distribution analysis module, critical point identification module, and body constitution determination module. This segmentation allows each component to perform a specific function efficiently, improving overall productivity while managing complexity through modular design that can be developed and maintained independently.
