Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a traditional input device is used for creating building simulations, then the system can process complex operations, but users unfamiliar with the device find it difficult to operate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses portable units that are copies or representations of building elements, allowing users to interact with physical-like objects rather than complex digital interfaces. These portable units can be detected by the system to create simulations, simplifying the user interaction while maintaining system functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple building elements are displayed on a display device for selection, then users can choose from various options, but the operation becomes complex and difficult for inexperienced users
Solution Approach 1:
The portable units are designed to be self-identifying through detection mechanisms. When users place or present these units, the system automatically detects and processes them without requiring users to navigate complex menus or input devices, making the versatile system easy to operate.
3Manufacturing precision
If the system requires precise detection and control operations, then the simulation accuracy is maintained, but the ease of creating simulations decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical or manual input operations with detection technology. The system detects portable units automatically, eliminating the need for precise manual control operations while maintaining simulation accuracy through automated detection and processing.
Data Source
AI summary
A simulation system includes a controller. The controller refers to a detection result of a detector, the detector configured to detect a portable unit prepared to create a simulation of a building, and controls a display device to show an image related to the building.
