Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple light sources with different brightness rates are used to create dynamic light effects, then user experience is enhanced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight effect varietyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the lighting system into multiple independent light sources (first light source and second light source), each controlled separately with different brightness adjustment rates. This segmentation allows the system to create diverse light effects by coordinating different light sources, resolving the contradiction between effect variety and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic brightness control where the first light source increases brightness at a first rate while the second light source increases at a second rate (different from the first). This dynamic, differentiated control creates evolving light effects that adapt to user interaction, enhancing versatility while managing complexity through programmed control logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of information

If dynamic brightness control with multiple rates is implemented, then visual feedback quality improves, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual feedback qualityVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs periodic brightness adjustment cycles with different rates for different light sources. By alternating between different brightness increase rates and using preset brightness levels, the system provides rich visual feedback information while managing energy consumption through structured, periodic control rather than continuous maximum output.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the brightness parameter at different rates for different light sources based on control signals. This parameter differentiation allows the system to convey multiple states and transitions through light, improving visual feedback quality while optimizing energy use by not all light sources operating at maximum intensity simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An electronic vaporization device includes a vaporizable material storage device and an electronic vaporization device body. The electronic vaporization device body includes a first light source, and a second light source. In response to a control signal indicating that a user is starting to use, the electronic vaporization device enters a start stage, and performs the following operations in the start stage: controlling the first light source to increase the brightness from first preset brightness at a first rate at a first time point, and the second light source to increase the brightness from the first preset brightness at a second rate at a second time point, where the first time point is earlier than the second time point, and the first rate is less than the second rate.
