Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional methods are used to detect light leakage of the screen, then measurement precision can be achieved, but time consumption and power consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight leakage detection accuracyVSAvoiddetection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The screen display region is divided into multiple pixel point sets based on grayscale value intervals. Instead of processing all pixel points individually, the method segments them into groups where pixel points within each set share similar grayscale characteristics. This segmentation reduces the computational complexity from processing N individual pixel points to processing M pixel point sets where M << N, thereby significantly reducing detection time while maintaining measurement precision through representative sampling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The method performs light leakage detection on a representative subset of pixel points rather than all pixel points. By selecting pixel points that represent different grayscale levels and spatial distributions, the system achieves sufficient detection accuracy with partial sampling. This partial action approach reduces computational load and time consumption while still providing reliable light leakage measurement for the entire screen.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Measurement precision

If traditional methods are used to detect light leakage of the screen, then measurement precision can be achieved, but power consumption increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight leakage detection accuracyVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting pixel points into grayscale-based groups, the method reduces the number of computational operations required for light leakage detection. Fewer calculations directly translate to lower power consumption in the processor, while the segmentation strategy ensures that representative pixel points are still processed to maintain detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The method changes the processing parameter from individual pixel points to pixel point sets characterized by fused grayscale values. This parameter change reduces computational intensity and consequently power consumption. The fused grayscale value serves as a representative parameter that captures the essential characteristics of multiple pixel points, enabling accurate detection with reduced energy expenditure.

Inventive Principle:

3Measurement precision

If pixel points are processed individually for light leakage detection, then accuracy is maintained, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight leakage detection accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The computational task is segmented by grouping pixel points into sets based on grayscale values. This segmentation transforms a complex O(N) processing task into a simpler O(M) task where M is the number of pixel point sets. The segmentation approach maintains accuracy by ensuring representative coverage of different grayscale levels while significantly reducing computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple pixel points with similar grayscale characteristics are merged into single pixel point sets. The grayscale values of individual pixel points are fused into a representative value for each set. This merging operation reduces the number of processing units from N individual pixel points to M pixel point sets, simplifying the computational model and reducing device complexity while preserving detection accuracy through representative sampling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
