Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If rigid frameworks are used for modular structures, then structural integrity is maintained, but transportation and setup become complicated and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidsetup time
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The booth is divided into multiple modular panels that can be independently assembled and disassembled. Each panel contains integrated display elements and structural support, allowing rapid deployment without complex framework assembly while maintaining structural integrity through standardized connection interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs flexible display panels and thin-walled structural elements that can be easily transported and assembled. These flexible components replace rigid frameworks, enabling quick setup while maintaining sufficient structural integrity for the application.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

2Ease of manufacture

If traditional static display elements are used, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but advertising versatility and dynamic content delivery are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidadvertising versatility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The display panels are designed to serve multiple functions: they can display static advertisements, dynamic video content, and interactive interfaces. The same hardware platform supports various content types and can be controlled through multiple interfaces (physical buttons, wireless connectivity), providing advertising versatility without requiring separate systems for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from static display elements to dynamic display panels capable of showing changing content. The panels can be controlled to display different advertisements, adjust brightness, and respond to user interactions, enabling dynamic content delivery while maintaining relatively simple manufacturing through standardized panel designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Device complexity

If limited access methods are provided, then device complexity is reduced, but user accessibility and security are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess mechanism complexityVSAvoiduser accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The access system integrates multiple authentication methods (physical buttons, wireless connectivity, QR code scanning) within a single unified interface. This allows the booth to serve different user needs and security requirements without requiring separate access systems for each method, maintaining manageable complexity while enhancing user accessibility.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary control system that manages multiple access methods. This intermediary layer coordinates between different authentication mechanisms and the booth's operational modes, providing secure access control while keeping the user interface simple and intuitive.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Device complexity

If single network mode connectivity is used, then device complexity is minimized, but service continuity and adaptability to different environments are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnectivity system complexityVSAvoidservice continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connectivity system is designed to dynamically switch between different network modes (4G, 5G, Wi-Fi) based on availability and performance. This dynamic adaptation ensures continuous service while keeping the underlying system architecture relatively simple through automated mode selection and fallback mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter changes in the connectivity system by adjusting network mode selection, transmission power, and protocol settings based on environmental conditions. This allows the system to maintain reliable connectivity across different environments without requiring complex manual configuration or multiple dedicated systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

5Illumination intensity

If transparent display panels are used, then visibility and advertising impact are enhanced, but manufacturing complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay visibilityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The transparent display panels are integrated into the same modular panel structure as opaque panels, allowing both types to be manufactured using similar processes. The panels serve multiple functions as both structural elements and display surfaces, reducing overall manufacturing complexity despite the advanced display technology.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite panel structures that combine transparent display elements with structural materials. This composite approach allows the panels to maintain structural integrity while providing high-visibility transparent displays, balancing manufacturing feasibility with enhanced visual impact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

A modular rectangular booth, having four vertical framing members, four panels extending between the framing members, the panels together defining an interior. Each of the panels is transparent, and has a display panel incorporated therewith for displaying images. A user can request access to the booth interior with a user mobile device. A locking mechanism selectively provides access to the booth interior. The booth has network connectivity for allowing a server to specify images to be displayed on the display panels and for providing internet connectivity to the user mobile device while within the interior.
