Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Weight of moving object
If mobile user apparatus is designed for mobility, then portability is improved, but hardware capabilities and functionality are restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile user apparatus is designed to execute multiple applications simultaneously and communicate with various accessory apparatus belonging to different users, enabling a single device to serve multiple functions and users, thereby resolving the contradiction between mobility and hardware capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extends the functionality of the mobile apparatus by connecting it to external accessory apparatus through communication interfaces, effectively adding functional dimensions beyond the physical constraints of the mobile device itself
2Productivity
If multiple applications are executed simultaneously, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The processing circuitry acts as an intermediary manager that coordinates multiple applications and their output commands to different displays and accessory apparatus, enabling concurrent execution without requiring each application to manage all system resources independently
3Adaptability or versatility
If output commands are distributed to accessory apparatus, then adaptability is improved, but ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically routes output commands from applications to appropriate displays or accessory apparatus based on configuration settings, reducing the manual intervention required by users to manage complex multi-device output distribution
