Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual adjustment of operation mode is performed by salesperson, then operation mode can be adjusted to correspond to shop environment, but it is very expensive and not very reliable
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic product automatically detects whether it is in a shop environment or home environment and self-adjusts its operation mode without requiring manual intervention by salespersons or users. The system uses environmental detection means to sense characteristics of the surrounding environment and automatically selects appropriate operation modes, making the system self-sufficient in adapting to different usage scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical adjustment process with an automated electronic detection and control system. Instead of relying on human operators to physically adjust settings, the system uses detection means to sense environmental characteristics and electronically controls the operation mode, substituting mechanical/manual operations with automated electronic processes.
2Productivity
If operation mode is adjusted for full performance in shop environment, then product presentation is optimized, but product lifetime may be reduced due to continuous high-power operation
Solution Approach 1:
The operation mode of the electronic product is made dynamic rather than static. The system continuously monitors environmental characteristics and automatically transitions between different operation modes (shop mode, home mode, standby mode) based on the detected environment. This dynamic adaptation allows the product to optimize performance when needed while conserving resources during normal use, extending its operational lifetime.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters based on environmental conditions. In shop environment detection, the product switches to full performance operation mode with higher power consumption for optimal presentation. In home environment detection, it switches to normal operation mode with reduced power consumption, and can enter standby mode when no users are detected, thereby extending product lifetime through parameter adaptation.
3Duration of action of stationary object
If operation mode is adjusted for home environment with lower power consumption, then product lifetime is extended, but performance in shop environment is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts its operation mode based on real-time environmental detection. When the product detects it is in a shop environment through characteristic environmental signals, it automatically switches to full performance mode to ensure optimal presentation. When in home environment, it switches to energy-saving modes, thus achieving both extended lifetime and environmental adaptability through dynamic adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic product is designed with multi-functionality to operate effectively in different environments. By incorporating environmental detection means and automatic operation mode adjustment capabilities, the single product can serve both shop presentation purposes and home usage requirements, making it universally adaptable without requiring separate configurations for different environments.
4Ease of operation
If automatic environment detection is implemented, then manual adjustment effort is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic product performs self-detection of the environment and self-adjustment of operation modes without requiring user intervention. The detection means automatically sense environmental characteristics and the control system autonomously selects appropriate operation modes, making the system self-sufficient and eliminating the need for manual adjustment by users or salespersons.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces environmental detection means as an intermediary between the physical environment and the electronic product's operation control. This intermediary component detects environmental characteristics and translates them into control signals that automatically adjust the operation mode, serving as a mediator that bridges the gap between external environment and internal system control.
