Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If intelligent devices are equipped with intelligent chips, display screens, and complex keys to enable intelligent control, then the intelligent control capability is improved, but the device complexity and user technical threshold increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the intelligent control functions (intelligent chip, display screen, complex keys) from the controlled device and relocates them to a separate portable controlling device. This allows the controlled device to remain simple while still enabling intelligent control through the external controller that interfaces via simple connection interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a portable controlling device as an intermediary between the user and the controlled device. This mediator contains the intelligent control capabilities and communicates with the controlled device through simple interfaces, thereby enabling intelligent control without requiring the controlled device itself to be complex.
2Extent of automation
If intelligent devices integrate intelligent chips, display screens, and complex keys, then intelligent control functionality is enhanced, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to high technical threshold
Solution Approach 1:
By extracting the complex intelligent control interface elements (display screen, complex keys) from the controlled device and placing them in a portable controlling device, the patent makes the controlled device easier to operate while preserving intelligent control functionality in the portable controller.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a portable controlling device that can be connected to different controlled devices, effectively creating a reusable copy of the intelligent control interface that serves multiple devices, thereby simplifying operation across different devices.
3Measurement precision
If devices require integrated intelligent chips and complex interfaces for intelligent control, then control precision is improved, but manufacturing cost and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the expensive intelligent control components from the controlled device and concentrates them in a single portable controlling device. This reduces the manufacturing cost and complexity of individual controlled devices while maintaining control precision through the portable controller's intelligent chip and processing capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The portable controlling device is designed to be universal and can control multiple different types of devices. This multi-functionality amortizes the cost of the intelligent chip and control electronics across multiple devices, reducing the overall system cost while maintaining high control precision.
