Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple control devices are used to control different computing devices, then device control capability is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The radar system is designed to perform multiple functions: gesture sensing for device control and data transmission between devices. By making the radar system universal, users can control different computing devices (TV, stereo, laptop, etc.) and transmit data using a single system rather than multiple specialized control devices, thereby reducing complexity while maintaining versatility
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple control devices are used, then device control capability is improved, but cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The radar system serves multiple purposes including gesture-based device control and high-bandwidth data transmission. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for users to purchase multiple separate control devices, thereby reducing overall system cost while maintaining comprehensive device control capability across different computing devices
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional data transmission methods are used, then device integration is improved, but transmission bandwidth is limited
Solution Approach 1:
