Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual scale shifting is required for existing instruments, then the performer has control over scale selection, but the operation becomes troublesome and inconvenient especially for beginners
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines the appropriate scale based on detected air pressure differences without requiring manual intervention from the performer. The processor autonomously selects scales from the scale chart based on the air pressure data, making the system self-adjusting and eliminating the burden of manual scale shifting.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical scale shifting with an automated electronic system that uses air pressure sensing and processor-based logic to determine and switch between scales. This substitution of mechanical manual operation with sensor-based automated control resolves the contradiction between ease of operation and device complexity.
2Ease of operation
If automatic scale shifting based on air pressure difference is implemented, then scale shifting becomes convenient and hassle-free, but the device requires sensors and processing logic
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines the appropriate scale based on detected air pressure differences without requiring manual intervention from the performer. The processor autonomously selects scales from the scale chart based on the air pressure data, making the system self-adjusting and eliminating the burden of manual scale shifting.
3Ease of operation
If volume adjustment is automated based on air pressure difference, then volume control becomes more convenient, but the system requires additional processing complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically adjusts volume based on the detected air pressure difference without requiring manual volume control by the performer. The processor calculates the appropriate volume adjustment based on the air pressure data and applies it to the audio output, making the system self-regulating for volume control.
