Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If display apparatuses are connected through wired cables, then stable signal transmission is achieved, but the entire display system fails when a signal transmission error occurs in any one cable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces wireless communicators as intermediary devices between display apparatuses, enabling signal transmission without physical cables. Each display apparatus is equipped with wireless communication modules that transmit and receive signals wirelessly, eliminating the single point of failure associated with wired connections. When one transmission path fails, the system can automatically switch to alternative wireless paths, maintaining overall system reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the signal transmission function into multiple independent wireless communication channels between adjacent display apparatuses. Instead of relying on a single centralized cable connection, each apparatus segment communicates independently through its own wireless communicators, allowing localized failures to be isolated and compensated for by other segments.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display apparatuses are connected in a modular arrangement, then flexible screen configurations are achieved, but image display is disrupted when signal transmission errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic signal routing where display apparatuses can adaptively change their communication paths based on real-time transmission quality. The system dynamically selects optimal wireless communication channels and adjusts signal transmission parameters to maintain image display continuity despite modular configuration changes or transmission errors in any particular apparatus.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the transmission medium parameter from wired to wireless communication, fundamentally altering how signals are transmitted between modular display apparatuses. This parameter change enables the system to maintain adaptability for various modular configurations while improving reliability by eliminating cable-related failure points.
3Ease of manufacture
If wired cables are used to connect display apparatuses, then simple installation is achieved, but the system cannot provide images when transmission errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical wired connection system with a wireless communication system. Instead of physically connecting display apparatuses through cables that require installation and are prone to physical damage, the system uses electromagnetic wave-based wireless communication, eliminating the need for physical installation while simultaneously improving fault tolerance through redundant transmission paths.
