Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If motion detection devices are powered wirelessly, then ease of operation is improved, but duration of action deteriorates due to poor battery life

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidduration of action
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by predicting motion trajectories before actual motion occurs. The predictive model anticipates user input based on initial movements and usage characteristics, allowing the system to prepare responses in advance and reducing the need for continuous motion detection data transmission, thereby extending battery life.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of continuous motion detection, the system uses periodic sampling combined with predictive modeling. The system monitors initial motion characteristics and then periodically updates predictions rather than continuously transmitting raw motion data, significantly reducing power consumption while maintaining operational effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Duration of action of moving object

If motion detection devices are powered directly from console, then duration of action is improved, but use of energy increases and device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveduration of actionVSAvoiduse of energy
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential motion detection functionality from the full system. By using predictive modeling to anticipate user input, the system can extract and transmit only critical motion data rather than continuous raw data, reducing energy consumption while maintaining sufficient detection accuracy for the intended application.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial action by using predictive models to fill in expected motion patterns rather than requiring complete motion data transmission. This allows the system to operate with reduced data transmission requirements, lowering power consumption while maintaining adequate performance for interactive applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If video quality enhancement features are enabled, then image quality is improved, but response latency increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidresponse latency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The predictive motion detection model performs preliminary actions by anticipating user input before it occurs. This allows the system to pre-prepare responses and reduce the perceived latency in interactive applications, as the system is already positioned to respond appropriately when actual user input occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts its operation mode based on the application context. In interactive applications requiring low latency, the system can reduce or disable heavy video quality enhancement features while maintaining adequate image quality. The system adapts its processing requirements based on real-time needs, balancing image quality and response speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
