Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If wireless communication modules are used to control multiple electronic devices, then data transmission capability is improved, but the pairing process becomes complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission capabilityVSAvoidpairing process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary pairing code mechanism that simplifies the connection establishment between input devices and electronic devices. Instead of complex direct pairing, the system uses pairing codes as intermediaries to facilitate easy connection, resolving the contradiction between reliable data transmission and ease of pairing operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If wireless communication modules are used for device control, then communication functionality is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication functionalityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the wireless communication system into distinct functional modules: input devices with pairing capabilities, electronic devices with reception capabilities, and a structured pairing code system. This segmentation allows complex communication functionality to be achieved while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Device complexity

If traditional electronic device-to-electronic device transmission is used, then system structure is simple, but flexibility in controlling multiple devices is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structureVSAvoidflexibility in controlling multiple devices
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes input devices universal by enabling them to both control their paired electronic devices and act as wireless transmitters to other electronic devices. This multi-functionality allows a single input device to control multiple electronic devices without requiring separate control mechanisms for each device, thereby increasing flexibility while maintaining simple system structure

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

AI summary

An information transmission system is formed by a plurality of input devices for the transmission of an information data, wherein each input device is signally connected to an electronic device. An information transmission method includes the following steps: one of the plurality of input devices receives a connection request from another input device; the input device receiving the connection request creates a wireless communication with the input device that issues the connection request according to the connection request; the input device receiving the connection request receives an information data transmitted by the input device that issues the connection request and transmits the information data to the electronic device connected to the input device that receives the connection request.
