Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If PC computer is used for scientific and technological productivity computing, then computing power and productivity are improved, but mobility and entertainment services are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides computing functions into two segments: cloud-based PC computing power provides scientific and technological productivity computing, while mobile terminal handles entertainment services and mobile computing. This segmentation allows each component to optimize for its specific function while working together through cloud computing.
Solution Approach 2:
Cloud computing serves as an intermediary between the mobile terminal and PC computer. It enables the mobile terminal to access PC-level computing power through wireless communication, resolving the contradiction by allowing the mobile device to have both entertainment capabilities and powerful computing resources without being a traditional PC.
2Adaptability or versatility
If smartphone is used for entertainment services, then portability and mobility are improved, but scientific and technological productivity computing is lost
Solution Approach 1:
Cloud computing acts as an intermediary that enables smartphones to access PC-level computing power. The mobile terminal maintains its portability and entertainment strengths while using cloud resources to perform scientific and technological productivity computing tasks that would otherwise require a desktop PC.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile terminal is designed to perform multiple functions: entertainment services, mobile computing, and access to cloud-based productivity computing. This multi-functionality allows a single device to replace both smartphone and PC for different use cases.
3Loss of information
If AR glasses are used to superimpose transparent information, then cognitive enhancement is improved, but scope of information obtaining is limited to special niche scope
Solution Approach 1:
The smart glasses system is designed to display multiple types of information: transparent AR overlays for cognitive enhancement, opaque displays for detailed information presentation, and video feeds for various viewing angles. This multi-functionality expands the scope of information obtaining from niche AR applications to universal mass-scope applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the display characteristics of smart glasses based on user needs. It can switch between transparent and opaque modes, adjust brightness and contrast, and change viewing angles to provide different types of information delivery, making the system adaptable to various information obtaining requirements.
4Weight of moving object
If split smart glasses are used to reduce weight, then wearability is improved, but data cable connection becomes troublesome and causes interference
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical data cable connection system with wireless communication technology. The mobile terminal and cloud computing system communicate wirelessly with the smart glasses, eliminating the need for physical data cables that cause tugging and interference, while maintaining all necessary data transmission functions.
