Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If skin treatment is performed using fixed modes based on doctor's subjective opinion, then device operation is simple, but treatment accuracy and precision deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary skin measurement and analysis before treatment to objectively determine skin type and characteristics. The measurement unit captures skin images and the analysis unit processes them to classify skin type, providing data-driven basis for treatment parameter selection rather than relying on doctor's subjective judgment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where skin measurement results directly influence treatment parameter selection. The analysis unit classifies skin type based on measured data, and this classification feeds back to automatically select appropriate treatment modes and parameters, ensuring treatment accuracy matches individual skin characteristics.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple treatment modes are provided for different skin types, then treatment adaptability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts treatment parameters based on real-time skin measurement results. Rather than requiring manual selection from fixed modes, the control unit automatically adapts treatment parameters according to the analyzed skin type and characteristics, making the device versatile while maintaining simple operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-adjustment of treatment parameters based on automated skin analysis. The measurement and analysis units work together to automatically determine optimal treatment settings without requiring doctor's subjective judgment or complex manual configuration, enabling the device to serve itself in parameter optimization.
3Measurement precision
If skin measurement is performed using light interference phenomenon, then measurement precision improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces complex mechanical measurement methods with optical measurement based on light interference phenomenon. The measurement unit uses light interference to non-invasively and precisely measure skin characteristics such as thickness and texture, eliminating the need for contact式 mechanical measurement while achieving high precision.
