Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a focal length adjustment mechanism is designed to accommodate users with different visual acuity, then the device becomes suitable for all kinds of people, but image distortion occurs causing visual fatigue and discomfort

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesuitability for users with different visual acuityVSAvoidimage distortion causing visual fatigue and discomfort
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where a detection unit detects the diopter adjustment amount and provides feedback signals to an image processor. The image processor then applies corresponding correction data to compensate for image distortion. This closed-loop feedback system allows the device to maintain both adaptability to different visual acuity and image quality by dynamically adjusting correction parameters based on the detected diopter setting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of the image signal by applying different correction data corresponding to different diopter adjustment amounts. The image processor modifies image quality parameters (such as distortion correction, field of view, transverse chromatic aberration) based on the detected diopter value, thereby compensating for the harmful effects of image distortion while maintaining the focal length adjustment capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If the diopter is adjusted to match individual visual acuity, then users with different visual needs can use the device, but image quality declines due to distortion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccommodation of individual visual acuityVSAvoidimage quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The detection unit detects the diopter adjustment amount and provides feedback to the image processor, which then applies corresponding correction data to maintain image quality. This feedback mechanism ensures that image quality is preserved across different diopter settings by dynamically compensating for distortion effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary correction by pre-storing multiple sets of correction data corresponding to different diopter adjustment amounts. When a specific diopter setting is detected, the corresponding correction data is immediately applied to the image signal before display, preventing image quality decline rather than attempting to correct it after the fact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the distance between lens units is changed to adjust diopter, then visual acuity requirements are met, but image distortion increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediopter adjustment for different visual acuityVSAvoidimage distortion
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The detection unit detects the diopter adjustment amount resulting from changes in lens unit distance and provides feedback to the image processor. The image processor then applies corresponding correction data to compensate for the image distortion that occurs as a result of the focal length adjustment, thereby recovering the lost image quality information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The image processor acts as an intermediary between the optical system (lens units) and the display system. It receives the distorted image signal from the optical system, applies appropriate correction data based on the detected diopter setting, and outputs the corrected image signal to the display, thereby mediating and eliminating the information loss caused by distortion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
