Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual configuration steps are used for wearable devices and sensors, then users can recognize and position each device correctly, but the configuration process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic sensor configuration through self-service mechanisms. The electronic apparatus autonomously detects sensing data from multiple sensors, analyzes movement patterns, compares them against stored movement models, and automatically determines sensor positions without requiring manual user intervention for each configuration step
Solution Approach 2:
The system prepares movement models in advance that represent characteristic movement patterns for different sensor positions. During configuration, the system compares real-time sensing data against these pre-prepared models to quickly identify sensor locations, eliminating the need for manual configuration during actual use
2Productivity
If automatic configuration is implemented through movement pattern analysis, then configuration time is reduced, but the system complexity increases due to data analysis requirements
Solution Approach 1:
Movement models are pre-stored in the system representing characteristic movement patterns for different sensor positions. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for complex real-time analysis, as the system only needs to compare current sensing data against these pre-defined models to quickly determine sensor locations
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from sensing data comparison with movement models to automatically determine sensor positions. By continuously monitoring movement patterns and comparing them against stored models, the system receives feedback that enables automatic configuration without requiring complex manual intervention
