Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If motion sensing games use dedicated peripheral devices to recognize body moving, then motion sensing gameplay can be achieved, but device complexity and development costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the camera serve multiple functions: it is used for both normal photography and for capturing images to recognize motion sensing actions. By reusing the existing camera hardware for motion sensing purposes, the system eliminates the need for dedicated peripheral devices while maintaining motion sensing gameplay capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device uses its own built-in camera to capture images for motion sensing recognition, rather than relying on external peripheral devices. The device's existing hardware resources are leveraged to provide motion sensing functionality, making the system self-sufficient.
2Adaptability or versatility
If motion sensing games are specially developed for different game consoles, then motion sensing actions can be recognized, but development costs increase due to hardware and software differences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal motion sensing control system that can be applied across different applications without requiring separate development for each game. The system uses a standardized approach where the camera captures images and the system recognizes motion sensing actions through a unified process, making it adaptable to various applications while reducing development costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediate processing layer that translates motion sensing actions into touch operations. This intermediary mechanism allows different applications to utilize motion sensing functionality through a standardized interface, eliminating the need for each application to be specially developed for motion sensing and reducing overall development costs.
3Adaptability or versatility
If motion sensing actions are mapped to touch operations, then existing applications can support motion sensing gameplay, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mapping mechanism that serves as an intermediary between motion sensing actions and touch operations. This mapping system translates recognized motion sensing actions into corresponding touch operations that existing applications can understand and process, enabling application compatibility without requiring complex modifications to each application.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual copy of touch operations through motion sensing actions. By mapping motion sensing actions to equivalent touch operations, the system allows users to control applications using body movements while the system processes these as if they were standard touch inputs, maintaining application compatibility without direct modification.
