Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single input device is used, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different gaming scenarios deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The input system achieves multi-functionality by combining multiple input devices (first input device with sensors and second input device) into a unified system that can adapt to different gaming scenarios. The processing device receives and processes inputs from both devices, enabling the system to provide diverse control types including motion, imaging, and touch inputs according to the specific gaming requirements.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple input devices are combined, then adaptability to different gaming scenarios is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple input devices by providing an attachment unit that physically and functionally combines the first input device with sensors and the second input device into a single integrated system. This merging allows the system to provide diverse control types while managing complexity through unified processing and attachment mechanisms.
3Measurement precision
If precise control is provided for shooting games, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The processing device acts as an intermediary that receives inputs from multiple input devices and processes them to provide precise control for shooting games. It can selectively use inputs from the first input device (with sensors) or second input device based on the gaming scenario, mediating between the raw inputs and the required precise control outputs.
