Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If tablet terminals are made slimmer, then portability is improved, but stability in bag is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the tablet terminal with a personal organizer by providing a ring insertion part that attaches to a ring in the personal organizer. This merging allows the slim tablet to be securely held in the bag alongside documents, preventing it from popping up or getting lost while maintaining its slim profile.
2Length of moving object
If tablet terminals are made slimmer, then portability is improved, but ease of finding is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the tablet terminal with the personal organizer through the ring insertion mechanism, the tablet becomes an integrated part of the organizer structure. This makes it easily locatable among documents since it is attached to the ring that is part of the organizer's fixed structure.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If protective film and back surface cover are used, then protection is improved, but device complexity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the protective back surface cover with the terminal holding part into a single integrated component. This provides protection for both the tablet's back surface and its sides while maintaining simplicity by eliminating the need for separate protective films and covers.
