Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If telemedicine services are provided to elderly people in remote areas using portable medical equipment, then accessibility to medical services is improved, but inspection accuracy deteriorates due to personnel unfamiliar with the equipment
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides real-time feedback to operators by analyzing scanned images and generating notifications about image quality and positioning accuracy. This feedback loop enables inexperienced personnel to perform inspections accurately by immediately receiving guidance on whether the captured images meet quality standards, thus resolving the contradiction between improved accessibility and maintained inspection accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service operation by incorporating automated image quality assessment and positioning assistance that guides operators through the inspection process without requiring expert knowledge. The intelligent notification device automatically evaluates captured images and provides corrective guidance, allowing non-expert personnel to independently perform accurate medical inspections in remote areas.
2Measurement precision
If experienced personnel operate portable medical equipment for accurate inspections, then inspection accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases requiring specialized training
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-evaluation of image quality and automated positioning assistance, eliminating the need for operator expertise. The intelligent notification device automatically assesses whether captured images meet quality standards and guides operators on corrections, transforming a complex expert-dependent process into a simple self-service operation that maintains high accuracy while reducing operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces the mechanical dependency on human expertise with an automated intelligent notification system that uses image processing algorithms to assess quality and guide operators. This substitution transfers the complexity from the operator's knowledge requirements to the automated system's computational processes, maintaining accuracy while simplifying human operation.
3Area of stationary object
If multiple portable medical equipment are deployed for telemedicine services, then service coverage is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to lack of immediate expert assistance
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes a feedback mechanism where each portable device independently evaluates image quality and provides real-time guidance notifications. This distributed feedback system ensures reliable inspections across multiple deployment locations without requiring centralized expert oversight, thus maintaining reliability while expanding service coverage to remote areas.
Solution Approach 2:
Each portable medical device is equipped with autonomous image quality assessment and positioning assistance capabilities, enabling self-service operation without expert intervention. This self-sufficiency allows multiple devices to be reliably deployed across different locations simultaneously, expanding service coverage while maintaining consistent inspection reliability through automated quality control.

AI summary
An image scanning positioning assistance system includes an image scanning device, an image display device, a storage device, and a processing device. The image scanning device generates a scanned image signal. The image display device displays a scanned image. The storage device stores multiple image types. The processing device calculates first classification probability values of the multiple image types corresponding to the scanned image signal, and determines whether the scanned image signal is a standard image. When the scanned image signal is the standard image, the processing device generates a standard image notification signal, and the positioning assistance notifying device generates a standard image notification. Otherwise, the processing device generates a non-standard image notification signal, and the positioning assistance notifying device generates a non-standard image notification. Therefore, the positioning assistance notifying device can notify an operator of the image scanning device for determining whether the operator is scanning accurately.
