Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the wireless transmission interface is kept on permanently to save manual operations, then the ease of operation is improved, but the power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device automatically detects its position and action state through sensor units (acceleration sensor, gyro-sensor, electronic compass, barometer) and autonomously determines when to activate or deactivate wireless transmission interfaces without user intervention. The processor compares detected position data with stored activity records to automatically control interface states, enabling the system to serve itself by eliminating manual operations while optimizing power consumption.
2Use of energy by moving object
If the wireless transmission interface is switched off manually to save power, then the power consumption is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to manual operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses sensor units to automatically detect the mobile device's position and action state, with the processor comparing this data against stored activity records to autonomously control wireless interface states. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual switching operations while optimizing power consumption based on actual usage patterns.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors the mobile device's position and action through sensor units, compares the detected data with stored activity records, and uses this feedback to automatically adjust wireless interface states. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures that interfaces are activated or deactivated based on real-time conditions, balancing power consumption with operational convenience.
3Extent of automation
If multiple sensor units are used to detect position and action for automatic function execution, then the extent of automation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs multiple sensor units (acceleration sensor, gyro-sensor, electronic compass, barometer) that work together to detect both position and action state, with the processor integrating data from all sensors to determine appropriate function execution. This multi-functional sensor system achieves high automation by combining the capabilities of individual sensors into a unified detection and control mechanism.
Data Source
AI summary
A mobile device is provided. The mobile device includes a transceiver, a sensor unit, a storage device and a processor. The sensor unit detects the position and the motion of the mobile device to provide sensor data. The storage device stores activity records. The processor obtains an identification code of the base station connected to the mobile device through the transceiver and calculates the height of the mobile device according to the sensor data. When the identification code of the base station and the height of the mobile device match those in an activity record, the processor executes a predetermined function corresponding to the activity record. When the execution of the predetermined function fails, the processor generates a moving trail of the mobile device according to the sensor data. When the moving trail of the mobile device matches that in the activity record, the processor executes the predetermined function.
