Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If smartwatches are designed with basic display and calculation functions, then they can perform essential timekeeping and mathematical tasks, but they require connection with smartphone or Internet-connected device to fully function and access digital content
Solution Approach 1:
The smartwatch is designed with multiple integrated functions including display component for visual output, audio component for sound output, and wireless communication component for network connectivity, enabling it to independently access and play digital content without requiring a smartphone connection
2Adaptability or versatility
If smartwatches are designed with audio and video capability, then they can function as portable media players, but they require pairing with smartphone to access Internet content
Solution Approach 1:
The smartwatch integrates audio component with speaker and microphone, display component for visual output, and wireless communication component for network connectivity, creating a standalone portable media player that can independently access and play audio and video content from Internet sources without requiring smartphone pairing
Solution Approach 2:
The smartwatch is designed to independently connect to the Internet through its wireless communication component and autonomously access and play digital content, eliminating the need for users to pair it with another device for basic media playback functionality
3Adaptability or versatility
If smartwatches provide Internet access and mobile Apps capability, then they can function as alternative to telephone, but they require connection with smartphone or Internet-connected device
Solution Approach 1:
The smartwatch integrates wireless communication component for Internet connectivity, display component for user interface, and audio component for communication, enabling it to independently function as a communication device with Internet access, mobile Apps capability, and alternative telephone functionality without requiring smartphone connection
