Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If separate fingerprint identification module and touch control recognition module are used, then each module can perform its dedicated function, but resource utilization decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvededicated function performanceVSAvoidresource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements multi-functionality by enabling the first recognition device to perform both fingerprint identification and touch control recognition. The first driving chip receives data from the first recognition device and can process it for either fingerprint authentication or touch control functions, allowing one hardware component to serve multiple purposes and thereby improving resource utilization while maintaining dedicated function performance

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

2Productivity

If integrated recognition device performs both fingerprint and touch control, then resource utilization increases, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the recognition system into distinct functional areas (first recognition area for fingerprint, second recognition area for touch control) and using separate driving chips (first driving chip for fingerprint processing, second driving chip for touch control processing). This modular segmentation allows the system to maintain clear functional boundaries and simplify control logic while still achieving high resource utilization through the ability of the first recognition device to serve dual purposes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
