Solution Overview

Problem

Existing air conditioning systems face challenges in allowing users to freely change the size and shape of the specific area to be controlled, as the registration of these dimensions is fixed and not adaptable.

Innovation Solution

A registration system that includes a control unit and storage unit, allowing the determination and registration of specific areas based on user terminal position information and operation contents, enabling dynamic adjustment of area size and shape through user input and sensor data integration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the size and shape of the specific area are previously registered in the air conditioning system, then the system can control airflow to avoid hitting the user area, but the user cannot freely change the size and shape of the controlled area

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser ability to change area size and shapeVSAvoidregistration system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically determines the specific area using the user terminal's position information and movement trajectory, eliminating the need for manual registration. The user simply moves the terminal to define the area boundaries, and the system autonomously captures and stores the area parameters

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical registration operations with automated electronic determination using position sensors and trajectory analysis. The control unit automatically calculates area parameters from position information data, substituting manual measurement and input processes

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If manual registration of specific area is required, then the system structure can be simple, but the ease of operation deteriorates as users cannot freely adjust the area

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvearea definition convenienceVSAvoidarea flexibility

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically determines the specific area based on the user terminal's real-time position information and movement trajectory. The area parameters are not fixed but adapt automatically according to the user's operational movements, enabling both ease of operation and flexibility

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The user terminal serves as an intermediary tool that the user operates to define the specific area. By moving the terminal within the space, the user indirectly defines area boundaries through trajectory generation, making the area definition process intuitive and flexible

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
