Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the detection circuit continuously provides feedback information to the image-forming apparatus, then the parameter acquisition is continuous, but the reliability of information transmission cannot be detected
Solution Approach 1:
The detection circuit switches between first and second states periodically to provide feedback information. In the first state, feedback information related to the first parameter is provided; in the second state, feedback information not related to the first parameter is provided. This periodic switching allows the image-forming apparatus to detect changes in feedback information and determine whether the information feedback unit meets expectations, thereby improving reliability detection without requiring continuous complex monitoring.
Solution Approach 2:
The detection circuit provides feedback information to the image-forming apparatus based on the connection state between the detection unit and the information feedback unit. By controlling the connection state to switch between first and second states according to switching information, the system creates a feedback mechanism where the image-forming apparatus can assess the reliability of the information feedback unit based on changes in the feedback information over time.
2Reliability
If the detection circuit switches between first and second states to provide feedback information, then the reliability of information transmission can be detected, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection circuit dynamically switches between first and second states based on switching information from the image-forming apparatus. This dynamic state switching allows the system to adaptively provide different types of feedback information, enabling reliability detection while maintaining a relatively simple circuit structure that can change its operational state rather than requiring multiple fixed complex monitoring paths.
3Measurement precision
If the connection state between the detection unit and information feedback unit is controlled to switch states, then the feedback information reliability can be determined, but the control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit controls the connection state to switch between first and second states according to switching information outputted by the image-forming apparatus. This preliminary action of state switching before feedback information is provided allows the system to prepare different feedback paths in advance, enabling accurate parameter acquisition without requiring complex real-time control during the feedback transmission.
