Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices lack the ability to determine optimal task execution positions and movement routes based on user preferences and states, leading to low user satisfaction in tasks such as photography, where users may prefer different angles or positions for task execution.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with a processor and memory that identifies user information and states to determine the most suitable position and movement route for task execution, allowing it to move and orient itself accordingly based on user-specific preferences and conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the electronic device executes tasks at fixed positions without considering user preferences, then the device operation is simple, but user satisfaction is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice operation simplicityVSAvoiduser preference adaptation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-stores multiple task execution positions and user preference information in advance. When a task is requested, the processor quickly retrieves the appropriate pre-determined position based on user identification, avoiding complex real-time calculations and maintaining simple operation while achieving user-specific adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The task execution position is made dynamic and adjustable based on user preferences. The system can adaptively select different positions for different users or even different tasks for the same user, transforming the fixed position system into a flexible, user-adaptive system that enhances versatility without complicating the user interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the electronic device determines task execution position based on user state and identification, then user satisfaction is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser-specific task executionVSAvoidposition determination system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The position determination system is segmented into independent modules: user identification module, state detection module, preference storage module, and position selection module. Each module handles a specific function, reducing the complexity of any single component while achieving comprehensive user-specific adaptation through their coordinated operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses pre-stored copies of task execution positions and user preference data instead of calculating optimal positions in real-time. The processor retrieves appropriate position information from stored data structures, significantly reducing computational complexity while maintaining the capability to provide user-specific task execution positions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Manufacturing precision

If the electronic device moves to different positions for different users, then task execution quality is improved, but movement time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask execution qualityVSAvoidmovement time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Optimal task execution positions are predetermined and pre-stored for different users and task types. When a task is requested, the system immediately retrieves the appropriate pre-calculated position, eliminating the need for time-consuming real-time optimization calculations and enabling rapid movement to the target position while maintaining high task execution quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
