Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the user manually controls the image capturing device during live streaming, then the user can introduce products or give speeches, but the user cannot simultaneously control the device and perform other actions without assistance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser control capabilityVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic object tracking and display mode switching without requiring user intervention. The control unit automatically determines object locations, calculates tracking parameters, and switches between display modes based on gesture recognition, enabling the device to serve itself and eliminate the need for assistant operators

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical control with automated electronic control systems. The control unit uses gesture recognition and automatic algorithms to substitute human manual operations, transforming the control mechanism from mechanical/manual to electronic/automated

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If the image capturing device tracks objects automatically, then the tracking accuracy is improved, but the processing time and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject tracking accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-calculating tracking parameters and preparing display mode transitions in advance. The control unit determines object locations and calculates tracking parameters proactively, so that when tracking is needed, the information is already prepared, reducing actual processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous object tracking and continuous monitoring of gesture inputs, eliminating the need to stop and restart processing. The control unit continuously calculates tracking parameters and continuously recognizes gestures, ensuring uninterrupted useful action and reducing overall processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the device switches between tracking mode and normal mode, then the adaptability to different scenarios is improved, but the complexity of mode management increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay mode flexibilityVSAvoidmode switching complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically switches between tracking mode and normal mode based on real-time gesture recognition. The control unit automatically transitions between modes without requiring manual configuration, making the system adaptive to different scenarios while keeping mode management simple through automatic detection and switching

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Speed

If the user needs to quickly control the image capturing device to determine object location and size, then the response speed is improved, but the operational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
