Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a wireless controller is designed with basic control functions only, then the device structure remains simple, but the functionality is insufficient and cannot meet user needs

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wireless controller is designed to perform multiple functions: it can control the electric surfboard, display real-time video feeds from action cameras, show GPS positioning information and movement trajectories, and provide split-screen display capabilities. This multi-functional design allows a single device to replace what would otherwise require multiple separate devices, thereby improving versatility without proportionally increasing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines previously separate functions into a single integrated controller: the control unit, display screen, GPS receiver, and action camera mounting mechanism are merged into one device. This consolidation allows the controller to serve as both a control interface and an information display system, reducing the need for multiple separate components while enhancing overall functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If a wireless controller is equipped with multiple advanced features, then user convenience is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The controller integrates multiple user-facing features including a display screen for video and GPS information, an action camera mounting mechanism for first-person viewing, and split-screen capability for simultaneous control and monitoring. These multi-functional elements enhance user convenience by providing comprehensive information and control capabilities in a single device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The controller is designed with modular components that can be independently assembled and configured. The display screen, mounting mechanism, and control elements are structured as separate but integrated modules, allowing for easier manufacturing, maintenance, and potential customization while maintaining the overall complex functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
