Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If each manufacturer uses its own closed solution with different central control units and peripheral interfaces, then the system can be designed and implemented, but hardware resources and upper-layer application software cannot be shared and the system is not conducive to extension

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveextension capabilityVSAvoidsystem compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by establishing a unified data transmission interface that can accommodate multiple function types (visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, motion) through a single standardized protocol. This allows different manufacturers' devices to interoperate through common interfaces while maintaining their specific functional capabilities, enabling hardware resource sharing and system extension without requiring proprietary closed solutions for each manufacturer.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the multi-dimensional media data into distinct function types (visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, motion) that can be independently identified and transmitted through the unified interface. Each function type is packaged according to its specific communication protocol requirements, allowing the system to handle diverse functionalities through a standardized segmented approach rather than requiring separate proprietary interfaces for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If a unified interface is implemented for multi-dimensional media data transmission, then hardware resources and software can be shared and extension is facilitated, but the complexity of packaging and transmitting different function types increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehardware resource sharingVSAvoiddata packaging complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by tailoring the data packaging approach to each specific function type's requirements. Different packaging methods are applied locally to visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, and motion data according to their respective communication protocol needs, while all are transmitted through the same unified interface. This reduces overall packaging complexity compared to creating entirely separate transmission systems for each function type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
