Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If position information from array pattern is used to control moving body motion, then motion control precision is improved, but device complexity increases due to sensor and control system requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses an array pattern as an intermediary medium between the sensor and the moving body. The pattern acts as a mediator that carries position information, allowing the sensor to read position data without direct complex interaction with the moving body itself. This reduces the complexity of the sensor system while maintaining high position information accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a visual copy of position information through the array pattern. Instead of using complex sensors to directly measure position, the system uses a camera to read the visual pattern that encodes position data. This copying approach simplifies the sensing mechanism while preserving measurement precision.
2Adaptability or versatility
If motion control is implemented based on array pattern position information, then interactive play functionality is improved, but ease of operation decreases due to setup complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The array pattern serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides position information, defines play area boundaries, and enables various interactive games. This multi-functionality increases adaptability without requiring separate systems for each function, thereby maintaining ease of operation through a single unified approach.
3Speed
If real-time motion control is achieved using array pattern reading, then response speed is improved, but loss of time increases due to pattern reading and processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The array pattern is pre-prepared and placed in the play area before the game starts. This preliminary action allows the system to have position information ready for immediate reading, eliminating the need for real-time position marking or complex calculations during game play, thus reducing processing time while maintaining fast response speed.
