Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple electronic apparatuses use different sensors to measure air quality, then each apparatus can independently display measurement values, but the measurement values displayed by different apparatuses in the same space become inconsistent and cause user confusion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges measurement data from multiple external electronic apparatuses by collecting measurement values from different devices (air conditioners, air purifiers, air quality monitors) and processing them centrally through rate of change calculation and correction algorithms, combining disparate sensor readings into a unified consistent value
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms raw measurement values by calculating rates of change over time and applying correction factors based on these rates, converting inconsistent absolute values from different sensors into corrected values that reflect actual environmental conditions while accounting for sensor drift and calibration differences
2Reliability
If sensor values from different apparatuses are used directly, then data collection is simple, but the accuracy and reliability of air quality information deteriorates due to sensor errors and calibration differences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring measurement values from multiple apparatuses, calculating their rates of change, comparing these rates against expected ranges, and applying corrections based on the identified discrepancies, creating a closed-loop system that continuously improves measurement reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing system that acts as a mediator between multiple external apparatuses and the user, collecting raw data from various sensors, performing rate of change calculations and corrections, and delivering reliable corrected values without requiring direct user interaction with individual sensor devices
3Ease of operation
If measurement values are corrected to be consistent across all apparatuses, then user confusion is eliminated, but the complexity of the controlling apparatus increases due to rate of change calculation and value correction processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the controlling apparatus to perform self-service by automatically collecting measurement values from external apparatuses, autonomously calculating rates of change, identifying discrepancies within predetermined ranges, applying corrections, and transmitting corrected values back to external devices without requiring manual calibration or user intervention

AI summary
A method of controlling an electronic apparatus is provided. The method includes the steps of receiving measurement values for the state of air displayed on a plurality of external electronic apparatuses from each of the plurality of external apparatuses, calculating rates of change of the measurement values for each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses based on the received measurement values, identifying external electronic apparatuses of which differences of the calculated rates of change belong to a predetermined range among the plurality of external electronic apparatuses, correcting the measurement values received from at least one external electronic apparatus among the identified external electronic apparatuses such that the measurement values received from the identified external electronic apparatuses become the same as one another, and transmitting information related to the corrected measurement values to the at least one external electronic apparatus.
