Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional static display screens are used, then the device structure is simple, but the display content is limited and user interaction is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay content capabilityVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the static display screen into a rotatable structure that can dynamically change display orientation and content. The display device rotates around a cylindrical surface, enabling multiple display positions and angles, thus converting a static system into a dynamic one that adapts to different user interaction scenarios and displays diverse content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dimensionality change by adding rotational movement around a cylindrical axis to the traditional flat display. This transforms the display from a two-dimensional static surface to a three-dimensional rotatable structure, enabling content to be displayed across multiple angular positions and creating additional spatial dimensions for user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If conventional static display screens are used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but user interaction and fun are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactionVSAvoidmanufacturing process
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The display device incorporates rotational capability around a cylindrical support, transforming the static screen into a dynamic structure that users can rotate to access different display positions and content. This dynamic design enhances user interaction by allowing manual rotation and automatic switching between multiple display interfaces, making the device more engaging and interactive.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies multi-functionality by enabling the display device to perform multiple functions: displaying content at different angular positions, switching between various interfaces, and providing both manual and automatic rotation modes. This single rotatable structure serves multiple purposes, enhancing user interaction without requiring separate components for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Loss of information

If conventional static display screens are used, then the device structure is simple, but the display content and interactivity are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay content richnessVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adds rotational dimensionality to the display system, allowing content to be displayed across multiple angular positions around a cylindrical axis. This transforms a single-plane static display into a multi-angle dynamic display, significantly increasing the amount of information that can be presented without requiring multiple separate display screens.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

By implementing rotational capability, the display device can dynamically switch between different content positions and interfaces. The system can rotate to different angles to display various information layers, creating a rich information presentation that adapts to different user needs and interaction scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
