Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the touch sensing circuit continuously monitors all driving device pads to detect touch inputs from multiple touch panels, then the touch detection capability is improved, but the power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch detection capabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The touch sensing circuit dynamically adjusts its operational state by selectively turning on or off specific sensing circuits based on which touch panel is currently being driven. This dynamic switching allows the system to maintain touch detection capability while minimizing power consumption by activating only the necessary sensing circuits at any given time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs periodic action by alternating between driving the first touch panel and the second touch panel in separate time periods. During each period, only the corresponding sensing circuit is activated, creating a time-division multiplexed operation that reduces overall power consumption while maintaining continuous touch detection coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Speed

If the touch sensing circuit processes signals from all touch panels simultaneously, then the touch response speed is improved, but the noise interference increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch response speedVSAvoidnoise interference
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The touch sensing function is segmented into separate sensing circuits, with each sensing circuit dedicated to a specific touch panel. This segmentation allows signals from different touch panels to be processed independently, preventing noise interference between channels while maintaining fast response times for each individual panel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses time-division multiplexing to process signals from different touch panels in alternating periods rather than simultaneously. This periodic action eliminates signal interference and noise between panels while maintaining fast touch response by ensuring that each panel receives dedicated processing attention in its assigned time slot.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
