Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If professional modeling software and equipment are used for 3D data generation, then scanning accuracy and data quality are improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple sensing modalities (infrared, visible light, ultrasonic sensors) into a single integrated smart glasses system, merging the functions of multiple professional devices into one portable unit that can capture 3D spatial information through fusion of different sensor data streams
Solution Approach 2:
The smart glasses are designed as a multi-functional device that simultaneously performs object recognition, 3D scanning, and wireless data transmission, replacing the need for separate professional modeling software, scanning equipment, and communication devices
2Manufacturing precision
If professional modeling software is required for 3D printing data generation, then data accuracy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic object recognition and 3D data generation without requiring manual intervention or professional software operation, with the smart glasses autonomously capturing spatial information and the processor automatically converting it into 3D printing data
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex mechanical and software-based modeling systems with an optical and sensor-based automated recognition system that captures 3D data directly through infrared, visible light, and ultrasonic sensing without requiring manual modeling operations
3Measurement precision
If conventional 3D scanning equipment is used, then scanning precision is improved, but ease of manufacture and accessibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the 3D scanning function into multiple independent sensing components (infrared sensor, visible light sensor, ultrasonic sensor) that can be manufactured separately and then integrated into the smart glasses, making the system easier to manufacture while maintaining precision through sensor fusion
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from traditional single-modality scanning to multi-dimensional sensing by combining infrared, visible light, and ultrasonic dimensions, achieving enhanced scanning precision through spatial and spectral dimensionality while using consumer-grade components
