Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If conventional PC battery control is applied to television receiver apparatus, then the television can operate with battery power, but the electric power demand cannot be reduced greatly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic switching between AC adapter power and battery power based on operational state. The power supply controller automatically selects the appropriate power source, transitioning from static power supply configuration to dynamic adaptive power management, thereby significantly reducing electric power demand during battery operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters by adjusting power consumption levels according to the selected power source. When battery power is used, the television receiver apparatus modifies its operating parameters to optimize energy efficiency, transforming it from a general-purpose device to a power-efficient display device.
2Use of energy by stationary object
If the television receiver apparatus operates with battery power during peak demand periods, then electric power demand is reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply controller is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a power source selector and as a power management unit. This universal component handles both AC adapter charging operations and battery power distribution, reducing the need for separate dedicated circuits and thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service through automatic power source detection and selection. The power supply controller autonomously determines whether to use AC adapter power or battery power without requiring complex user intervention or additional control systems, thereby managing complexity while achieving power reduction goals.
