Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional plane display apparatus is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the user can only view one side of an object or landscape and cannot view from various angles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies spheroidality by implementing a spherical display interface that curves around the user, replacing the conventional flat plane display. This spherical structure enables 360-degree viewing capability, allowing users to view images from various angles simultaneously, thereby resolving the contradiction between viewing angle coverage and display structure complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional flat display to a three-dimensional spherical display interface. This dimensionality change enables the display to present images in a spherical coordinate system, allowing users to view content from multiple angles and directions, thus improving adaptability while accepting increased structural complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a spherical user interface is implemented to display 360-degree three-dimensional images, then the user can view images from various angles, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The spherical user interface implements 360-degree three-dimensional image display by curving the display surface into a sphere, enabling users to view content from any angle. This directly addresses the adaptability requirement while the patent manages the complexity through integrated sensor systems and coordinate transformation algorithms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates sensing devices that detect user actions and positions, providing feedback to dynamically adjust the displayed image content. This feedback mechanism allows the system to adapt to user interactions in real-time, enhancing the three-dimensional display capability while managing complexity through intelligent control rather than purely structural solutions.
3Ease of operation
If sensing devices are added to detect user actions and output corresponding image content, then the user experience becomes dynamic and interactive, but the device complexity and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing devices automatically detect user actions and the system autonomously generates and outputs corresponding image content without requiring manual intervention. This self-service approach improves ease of operation by making the system responsive to user gestures and movements, while energy consumption is managed through event-driven processing that activates only when user actions are detected.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs periodic sensing and processing cycles, where the sensing devices continuously monitor user actions and the controller periodically updates the displayed content based on detected changes. This periodic operation mode balances interactive responsiveness with energy efficiency by avoiding continuous high-power operation and instead activating processing only when necessary.
