Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a common control interface is used for all terminals connecting to a smart device, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but adaptability to personalized user needs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The control interface is segmented into a common control interface (providing basic functions) and a personalized control interface (providing customized functions). The personalized interface plug-in divides the interface configuration into modular components that can be independently selected and combined, allowing different terminals to have different interface configurations while sharing the same smart device control capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The common control interface provides universal functionality that works across all terminals, while the personalized interface plug-in adds additional specialized functions. This multi-functionality approach allows the system to serve both general users who need simple operation and power users who need personalized controls, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a personalized control interface is implemented for each terminal, then adaptability to user needs is improved, but device complexity and loss of information increase
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of creating entirely separate control interfaces for each terminal, the system creates personalized interface plug-ins that are copies or extensions of the common control interface. These plug-ins contain only the personalized configuration data (such as preferred display parameters, control preferences, or customized function arrangements), reducing the overall complexity while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The personalized interface plug-in is nested within the common control interface framework. The personalized configuration data is embedded as a module within the larger control system, allowing the personalized interface to be loaded and integrated dynamically without requiring a complete separate interface implementation, thus reducing device complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If personalized control interfaces are stored and managed on the smart device, then adaptability is improved, but loss of information and device complexity increase when multiple terminals connect
Solution Approach 1:
The personalized interface plug-in acts as an intermediary layer between the smart device and multiple terminals. The plug-in contains the personalized configuration information that is transferred along with the device control data, ensuring that each terminal receives the appropriate personalized settings without requiring the smart device to maintain separate storage for each terminal, thus preventing information loss.
