Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate camera, audio capture device and projector are purchased and connected to the all-in-one conference machine, then the conference machine can achieve camera function, audio capture function and screen projection function, but the connecting wires become numerous and messy, connection complexity increases and signal interference occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the camera module, audio capture device, and screen projection device into a single integrated electronic assembly that connects to the all-in-one conference machine through one unified interface. This merging of multiple separate devices into one compact unit directly reduces the number of connecting wires and simplifies the connection structure, while maintaining all required functions of video capture, audio capture, and screen projection.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated electronic assembly is designed as a multi-functional device that simultaneously performs camera imaging, audio recording, and screen projection functions. By making the assembly universal in its capabilities, it replaces multiple separate specialized devices, thereby reducing connection complexity while preserving adaptability and versatility of the conference system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate camera, audio capture device and projector are connected to the all-in-one conference machine, then the required functions are achieved, but the wire connection mode becomes complex and unreliable with serious signal interference
Solution Approach 1:
By merging multiple connection interfaces into a single unified connection between the integrated electronic assembly and the all-in-one conference machine, the patent eliminates the complex web of separate wires. This single integrated connection path reduces signal interference points and improves connection reliability, while the internal integration maintains all necessary functional connections between camera, audio, and projection components.
3Ease of operation
If built-in camera is added to the all-in-one conference machine, then the camera function is achieved, but the cost increases and the attached camera lacks screen projection function and audio capture function
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates camera, audio capture device, and screen projection device into a single electronic assembly, providing a cost-effective solution that achieves multi-functionality without requiring expensive separate components. This integrated approach maintains ease of connection through a single interface while ensuring all three functions work together seamlessly as a unified system.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated electronic assembly is designed with universal multi-functionality, combining camera imaging, audio recording, and screen projection capabilities in one unit. This multi-functional design achieves the required versatility without the high cost of separate specialized devices, as the integrated assembly shares common resources and connection interfaces.
