Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional intelligent lamp holders use mobile phones or tablets for control, then lamp on-off statuses and brightness modulation can be controlled, but users need to carry mobile devices and open application software which causes inconvenience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of lamp controlVSAvoidneed for mobile device and application software
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an ultrasonic device as an intermediary between the user and the lamp holder. The ultrasonic device transmits control signals to the lamp holder through ultrasonic waves, eliminating the need for users to directly operate mobile devices or application software. The lamp holder includes an ultrasonic receiving module that captures these signals and executes the corresponding control operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical interaction of manually operating mobile device interfaces with acoustic field interaction. Ultrasonic waves carry control information to the lamp holder, substituting the need for physical interaction with buttons, screens, or touch interfaces on mobile devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If intelligent lamp holder includes multiple control modules (ultrasonic reception, sound recognition, sensing, wireless communication), then control functionality is enhanced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol functionalityVSAvoidnumber of modules
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates multiple control functions into a single lamp holder device. The lamp holder simultaneously supports ultrasonic signal reception, sound recognition, environmental sensing, and wireless communication, allowing it to perform diverse control operations through a unified platform rather than requiring separate devices for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines previously separate control mechanisms (ultrasonic reception module, sound recognition module, sensing module, wireless communication module) into one integrated lamp holder system. These modules work together within a single device, merging multiple control pathways into a unified control architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
