Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the system uses touch-sensitive display and intensity sensors to detect user interactions, then user interaction time is reduced and user experience is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the display function and touch sensing function into a single integrated touch-sensitive display component. This merging eliminates the need for separate touch sensors and reduces the number of independent components, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining enhanced user interaction capabilities and reduced interaction time.
Solution Approach 2:
The touch-sensitive display serves multiple functions: it displays visual information and simultaneously detects user interactions through intensity sensors. This multi-functionality allows the system to reduce user interaction time by providing both visual feedback and interaction detection through a single component, avoiding the need for additional separate components.
2Ease of operation
If the system provides haptic feedback and tactile outputs to enhance interaction, then user experience is enhanced, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The haptic feedback and tactile outputs are provided periodically or on-demand based on user interactions rather than continuously. This periodic activation reduces overall energy consumption while still providing enhanced user experience during interaction moments, balancing usability with power conservation.
3Use of energy by moving object
If the system minimizes redundant user inputs to conserve battery power, then use of energy is reduced, but measurement precision of user interactions may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates redundant user inputs from the interaction sequence by using the touch-sensitive display to detect and interpret the user's intent more accurately. By removing unnecessary input steps, the system reduces battery power consumption while actually improving measurement precision through better detection of the essential interaction parameters.
