Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional drug testing methods (urine, blood, or saliva tests) are used, then drug detection can be performed, but the process is time-consuming, resource-intensive, and prone to false results

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedrug detection accuracyVSAvoidtesting time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional biological testing methods (urine, blood, or saliva tests) with an optical measurement system that uses sensors to detect pupil size changes. This substitution eliminates the need for complex laboratory procedures while providing rapid, reliable drug detection results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent detects drug use by monitoring changes in pupil size parameters. When a subject uses drugs, physiological changes occur that affect pupil diameter. By measuring these parameter changes rather than performing comprehensive biological tests, the system achieves fast and accurate detection without time-consuming laboratory analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If multiple sensors are used to measure distance and height, then measurement accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistance and height measurement accuracyVSAvoidsensor system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple sensors (first sensor, second sensor, and third sensor) into a single integrated measurement system. These sensors work together to simultaneously measure distance and height parameters, achieving high measurement precision while managing system complexity through unified data processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The sensor system is designed to perform multiple measurement functions using a single integrated approach. The same sensor array measures both distance and height parameters, eliminating the need for separate measurement devices and reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high precision.

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

3Measurement precision

If pixel conversion and size conversion are performed based on measured distance and height, then pupil size measurement accuracy is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepupil size measurement accuracyVSAvoidimage processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs pixel conversion and size conversion calculations in advance based on pre-measured distance and height parameters. By preparing the conversion factors and processing algorithms before actual pupil size measurement is needed, the system reduces real-time processing time while maintaining high measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
