Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional terminals provide increasing number of complex functions, then functionality is enhanced, but device complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile terminal integrates multiple functions including touch screen input, wireless communication, sensing capabilities, and data transmission into a single universal device. The controller coordinates these diverse functions through a unified architecture, allowing the device to perform camera operation, data exchange, and user interaction through integrated components rather than separate devices.

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

2Loss of information

If data exchange between terminals is implemented, then information sharing is enabled, but communication overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata exchange efficiencyVSAvoidcommunication overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system establishes wireless communication connections and prepares data transmission protocols in advance before actual data exchange is needed. The controller pre-configures the communication unit and sensing unit to enable rapid data sharing when touch inputs occur, reducing the time required for actual data exchange between terminals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The mobile terminal automatically detects touch inputs through the sensing unit and initiates data transmission to the camera terminal without requiring manual intervention. The system self-manages the data exchange process by automatically capturing touch coordinates, formatting data, and transmitting it through the communication unit, eliminating the need for user-configured communication protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A mobile terminal and a control method thereof are provided. The mobile terminal comprises a wireless communication unit, a display (151) configured to display an image, and a controller configured to display a first input area overlapping with at least part of the image in response to a first touch applied to the display (151) and to transmit data based on a touch trace corresponding to a second touch of a user, which is acquired through the displayed first input area, to a client terminal (200, 300) including one or more other terminals through the wireless communication unit in real time, the first input area having translucent property to allow the overlap image to be recognized. According to the present invention, data corresponding to a touch applied to an input area can be transmitted to a client terminal to achieve each data exchange.
