Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If the touchscreen screen size is increased to provide visual enjoyment, then the display area is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to inconvenient interaction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen areaVSAvoidoperational convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the user interface layout changeable and adaptable based on touch operation characteristics. The system dynamically adjusts element positions, sizes, and distributions according to user touch patterns, transforming from a static layout to a dynamic one that evolves with user behavior, thereby improving operational convenience on large screens

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service by automatically analyzing touch operation data and autonomously adjusting the interface layout without requiring manual user configuration. The touchscreen apparatus itself serves the user by adapting the interface to their habits, eliminating the need for users to manually reposition elements on a large screen

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Device complexity

If the touchscreen only determines position and pressure information, then the device complexity is kept low, but the adaptability to user habits deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing complexityVSAvoidadaptability to user habits
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring touch operation characteristics (position, pressure, duration, frequency) and using this information to adjust the interface layout. The system creates a closed-loop feedback mechanism where user interactions are analyzed and fed back into the system to automatically optimize the interface, enhancing adaptability while maintaining reasonable processing complexity through efficient data utilization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If the touchscreen interface does not adapt to user habits, then the ease of operation is maintained at basic levels, but the intelligent level deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebasic operation easeVSAvoidintelligent level
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies preliminary action by pre-analyzing touch operation patterns and proactively adjusting the interface layout before users encounter operational difficulties. By predicting user needs based on historical touch data and preemptively optimizing element positions and sizes, the system enhances both ease of operation and intelligent level without requiring complex real-time processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
