Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually check the cooking apparatus status and perform steps like preheating and self-cleaning, then the cooking apparatus can be controlled, but user convenience deteriorates and time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mobile terminal as an intermediary device between the user and the cooking apparatus. The mobile terminal communicates with the cooking apparatus via wireless communication, allowing users to remotely monitor cooking status, control preheating, and initiate self-cleaning operations without being physically present at the cooking apparatus. This intermediary system resolves the contradiction by providing convenient remote operation while eliminating the need for users to spend time manually checking and operating the cooking apparatus.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the cooking apparatus transmits operational status information to the mobile terminal in real-time. Users can receive notifications about cooking completion, preheating status, and self-cleaning progress on their mobile devices. This feedback system allows users to remotely monitor and control the cooking apparatus, improving ease of operation while reducing time consumption by eliminating the need for continuous manual checking.
2Ease of operation
If users remotely control the cooking apparatus through a home network, then user convenience improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent leverages the mobile terminal's existing universal communication capabilities and application ecosystem to enable remote control of the cooking apparatus. By utilizing standard wireless communication protocols and existing mobile device functionality, the system avoids introducing complex dedicated control hardware. The cooking apparatus integrates communication functions into its existing control structure, allowing it to serve both traditional local control and remote wireless control purposes, thereby improving ease of operation without significantly increasing overall system complexity.
