Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If complex computation and correction processes are used to generate touch coordinate data, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining code patterns with cutouts at specific locations on the touch electrode before the touch input occurs. These code patterns encode location information in advance, so when a touch input is detected, the system can directly read the pre-encoded location data without performing complex computation or correction processes, thus resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by representing physical location information through code patterns that are copies or representations of actual positions. Instead of calculating coordinates from raw touch data, the system uses pre-coded pattern copies that directly represent location, eliminating the need for complex computation while maintaining accurate position detection
2Measurement precision
If complex computation and correction processes are used to generate touch coordinate data, then measurement precision is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
By pre-encoding location information into code patterns with cutouts before the touch input occurs, the system eliminates the need for power-intensive computation and correction processes during actual touch detection. The pre-prepared code patterns allow direct reading of location data, significantly reducing power consumption while maintaining measurement precision
3Ease of manufacture
If standard touch electrodes are used, then ease of manufacture is improved, but adaptability to various electronic devices is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent achieves universality by designing touch electrodes with code patterns that can be integrated into various electronic devices regardless of size or application. The code pattern structure serves multiple functions: it maintains the basic touch detection capability while simultaneously encoding location information, making the touch electrode adaptable to different electronic devices without requiring separate customization for each application
