Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a special device is used to measure muscle power through high intensity movement, then muscle state detection accuracy is improved, but device portability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple detection functions (electromyography signal collection and muscle oxygen saturation detection) into a single integrated device. The electromyography module and optical module share a common structure, allowing the device to detect both electrical signals and oxygen saturation simultaneously without requiring separate equipment, thus improving portability while maintaining detection accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is designed to perform multiple functions: collecting electromyography signals, detecting muscle oxygen saturation through light absorption, and comprehensively analyzing muscle state. This multi-functional design replaces the need for separate specialized devices, making the system portable while comprehensive in its assessment capabilities.
2Device complexity
If only blood oxygen is collected from a certain muscle group, then device complexity is reduced, but measurement precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device segments the detection process into two independent but complementary parts: electromyography signal collection and optical oxygen saturation detection. Each module can be independently optimized and calibrated, yet together they provide comprehensive multi-dimensional muscle state information, improving measurement precision without excessive complexity.
