Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If cameras are used to monitor vehicle riders, then visual monitoring capability is improved, but the ability to detect injury levels and monitor multiple parameters is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces optical camera systems with sensor-based detection systems that can measure physiological parameters and impact forces. Sensors detect head impacts, chest compressions, and other injury indicators through direct physical measurement rather than visual observation, enabling precise injury level detection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from monitoring visual parameters to monitoring physiological and mechanical parameters such as head acceleration, chest deformation, and body temperature. These parameter changes enable the system to detect injury levels that are not visible to cameras.
2Area of stationary object
If multiple cameras are placed at different locations, then coverage of different roads and views is improved, but the ability to detect rider-specific parameters and injury levels is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the monitoring function into separate sensor modules, each detecting specific parameters (head impact, chest compression, temperature, etc.). This segmentation allows comprehensive parameter collection from multiple sources without requiring visual coverage from multiple cameras.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces sensor modules as intermediary devices that directly contact or proximity the rider to detect physiological and mechanical parameters. These sensors act as intermediaries between the rider's body and the data collection system, providing direct measurement of injury indicators.
3Reliability
If protective gear or accessories are used by riders, then rider safety is improved, but monitoring capability for performance parameters and injury detection is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges protective gear with sensor modules to create integrated safety systems. The sensors are embedded within or attached to protective equipment such as helmets and body armor, allowing simultaneous provision of protection and detection of performance parameters and injury levels.
Solution Approach 2:
The protective gear is designed to serve multiple functions: providing physical protection while simultaneously acting as sensors for detecting head impacts, chest compressions, and other injury indicators. This multi-functionality eliminates the trade-off between protection and monitoring.
4Ease of operation
If existing monitoring systems are used, then basic visual observation is provided, but real-time impact detection and performance analysis are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The sensor system operates continuously to monitor physiological parameters and impact forces in real-time, without interruption. This continuous monitoring enables immediate detection of impacts and performance changes, eliminating the delays associated with periodic visual observation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides real-time feedback on rider performance and injury indicators through continuous sensor data collection and processing. This feedback mechanism enables immediate response to impacts or abnormal conditions, significantly reducing detection time compared to post-event visual analysis.
