Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional smart card structures with contact or contactless chips are used, then the card structure is simple, but the human-computer interaction ability is weak

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehuman-computer interaction abilityVSAvoidcard structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The base plate is divided into multiple layers (first base plate, second base plate, third base plate) with different functions. The interactive circuit module is segmented into key module, display module, and other functional modules. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while working together to provide comprehensive human-computer interaction capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a traditional single-layer flat structure to a multi-layer three-dimensional structure. Different circuit modules are positioned at different heights and layers, with hollowed-out areas creating vertical stratification. This dimensional change enables better spatial arrangement of interactive components while maintaining overall card structure integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If smart cards with human-computer interaction functions are manufactured using prior art methods, then the interaction function is achieved, but the manufacturing process is difficult and low efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing efficiencyVSAvoidmanufacturing difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

Hollowed-out areas are pre-formed in each base plate layer before assembly. Circuit modules are designed with predetermined positions and mounting structures. The key module, display module, and other modules are prepared in advance with specific mounting requirements. This preliminary preparation significantly simplifies the final assembly process and improves manufacturing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The manufacturing process is segmented into independent steps for each layer and module. Each base plate can be processed separately, and circuit modules can be manufactured and tested independently before final assembly. This modular manufacturing approach enables parallel production and reduces overall manufacturing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
