Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If micro-impulse radar is used to detect presence, movement, posture, and physiological parameters in real-time, then adaptability and personalization of user experience is improved, but device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The micro-impulse radar system is designed to perform multiple detection functions (presence detection, movement tracking, posture analysis, physiological parameter measurement) using a single integrated device, thereby achieving high adaptability without proportionally increasing device complexity

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical or optical sensing systems with micro-impulse radar technology, which uses electromagnetic waves to detect various parameters. This substitution enables comprehensive sensing capabilities while maintaining compact device form factor and reducing overall system complexity

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

2Measurement precision

If micro-impulse radar detects and analyzes multiple parameters simultaneously, then measurement precision and user understanding is improved, but loss of information and processing burden increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement precisionVSAvoidloss of information
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The radar detection system segments the detection process into distinct parameter measurements (presence, movement, posture, physiological parameters), allowing each parameter to be extracted and analyzed separately with high precision while managing information processing through structured data organization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary signal processing and parameter extraction directly at the radar detection stage, preparing data in advance for subsequent analysis. This preliminary action reduces the processing burden on downstream systems and prevents information loss by establishing a structured data pipeline from detection to analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
