Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If dedicated communication means are used to receive device state information, then abnormal state detection accuracy is improved, but device complexity and installation requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention uses image capture to create a visual copy of the device state instead of relying on dedicated communication means. The imaging device captures images of the device, and abnormal states are detected by analyzing these images, thereby replacing complex communication infrastructure with simple optical copying of the device state.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention replaces the mechanical/electrical communication system with an optical system. Instead of using dedicated communication means to transmit device state data, the system uses image capture and optical analysis to detect abnormal states, substituting a simpler optical mechanism for the complex communication infrastructure.
2Reliability
If multiple constituents (device, installation location, construction) are required for abnormal state detection, then detection reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention enables the device to perform self-diagnosis through image analysis. The imaging device captures images of the device itself, and the analysis unit automatically detects abnormal states by analyzing features in these images, allowing the system to monitor its own state without requiring external detection equipment or complex installation infrastructure.
3Loss of information
If detailed auxiliary information is displayed for abnormal states, then information completeness is improved, but display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the display of auxiliary information with the original device image. The display control unit superimposes abnormal state information and auxiliary details directly onto the captured image, combining visual inspection with information presentation in a single integrated display, thereby providing complete information without requiring separate display components.
