Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional QST equipment is deployed at bank teller counters, then customer identification services can be provided, but the equipment occupies valuable counter space and incurs high costs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the QST functionality with the existing counter surface by integrating an OLED display, communication circuit, and biometric sensor directly into the counter structure. This merging eliminates the need for separate QST equipment while preserving all identification functions, thereby reducing counter space occupation.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated counter system performs multiple functions: it serves as both the counter surface and the QST device for card reading, PIN entry, and biometric verification. This multi-functionality allows a single structure to replace traditional separate equipment, addressing the space constraint while maintaining service capability.
2Ease of operation
If conventional QST equipment is deployed at bank teller counters, then customer identification services can be provided, but the equipment incurs high costs
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the QST functionality into the existing counter infrastructure, the patent eliminates the need to purchase and deploy separate expensive QST equipment. The integrated approach uses standard components (OLED display, communication circuit) that can be embedded in the counter, significantly reducing equipment costs while maintaining identification service functionality.
3Area of stationary object
If the OLED screen is integrated within the counter contours, then counter space is preserved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the QST functionality into distinct modular components: OLED display, communication circuit, biometric sensor, and software chip. Each component can be independently installed and maintained within the counter structure, which simplifies the integration process despite the overall system complexity. This segmentation allows for easier manufacturing and maintenance while achieving the space-saving integrated design.
