Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual operation is used to control the projector for media playback, then the operation is straightforward and reliable, but the convenience and ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of media playback controlVSAvoidcomplexity of control system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a sound collecting device as an intermediary that captures voice instructions and converts them into control signals. This mediator bridges the gap between simple user input and complex system control, allowing users to operate the projector through natural speech without directly interacting with complex interfaces or controls

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical operation (buttons, remote controls, physical interactions) with an acoustic field-based control system. The sound collecting device captures acoustic signals (voice instructions) and converts them into electronic control codes, substituting the mechanical control system with an acoustic-to-electronic conversion system that improves ease of operation

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

2Ease of operation

If voice instructions are used to control the projector, then the ease of operation improves, but the reliability of accurate parameter detection may deteriorate due to incomplete commands

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of control inputVSAvoidaccuracy of parameter detection
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the processor analyzes the control code generated from voice instructions, determines whether necessary parameters are present, and if not, generates supplementary control codes or requests additional information. This feedback loop ensures that even if the initial voice command is incomplete, the system can still execute the correct operation by filling in missing parameters through feedback analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent prepares for potential incomplete commands by having the processor pre-analyze the control code structure and identify which parameters are necessary for each operation type. By beforehand determining the required parameters and having mechanisms to generate supplementary codes, the system cushions against the reliability issues that would arise from incomplete user commands

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

3Reliability

If the system generates supplementary control codes for incomplete parameters, then the reliability of media playback improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of media playback executionVSAvoidcomplexity of control code processing
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary analysis of the control code structure to identify which parameters are necessary for each type of media playback operation. By beforehand determining the required parameters and preparing supplementary code generation templates, the system ensures reliable execution without requiring complex real-time decision-making processes during actual playback control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
