Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If state information of each user is detected and displayed individually, then user-specific information is provided, but information integration and comprehensive utilization are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges individual user state information into aggregated group state information. The state integration unit combines detection results from multiple users into consolidated data representing group states (e.g., congestion levels, emotional trends), enabling comprehensive information utilization while maintaining manageable system complexity through hierarchical data organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The state integration unit serves as an intermediary between individual user state detection and comprehensive information provision. It processes raw individual state data, performs aggregation and analysis, and generates integrated group state information that can be effectively utilized, thus resolving the contradiction between information completeness and system complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If only individual user state information is provided, then personalization is achieved, but useful information for broader user support is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from one-dimensional individual user state information to two-dimensional integrated information that combines individual states with group-level patterns. By adding the dimension of group aggregation, the system provides versatile information that supports both individual user needs and broader behavioral support, enabling applications like crowd management and trend analysis alongside personalization.
3Quantity of substance
If sensing data from multiple users is collected, then comprehensive data is obtained, but effective integration and utilization is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms raw sensing data parameters into meaningful state parameters through the state integration unit. It changes the parameter representation from individual-level raw data to group-level aggregated states (e.g., converting individual positions to congestion levels, individual emotions to overall mood trends), thereby enabling efficient utilization of large quantities of sensing data without being overwhelmed by data volume.
