Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional vehicle brackets are used to fix mobile terminals, then the basic fixing function is achieved, but the functionality cannot meet the increasing demands of users

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The vehicle bracket is transformed from a simple fixing device to a multi-functional system that combines magnetic detection, distance sensing, wireless communication, and screen delivery capabilities. The bracket body integrates multiple sensors (magnetic field sensor, distance sensor) and communication modules to detect mobile terminals, determine their states, and perform screen delivery, making the bracket adaptable to various user needs while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If magnetic field sensors and distance sensors are added to detect mobile terminals, then the detection capability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection capabilityVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple detection functions are merged into a single integrated system. The magnetic field sensor and distance sensor are both integrated into the vehicle bracket to detect mobile terminals simultaneously. The processor combines the detection results from both sensors to comprehensively determine the state of the mobile terminal (whether it is being carried or fixed), achieving high detection precision while avoiding the complexity of separate independent detection systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of operation

If screen delivery is performed between vehicle bracket and mobile terminal, then the user experience is improved, but the energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses magnetic field sensors and distance sensors to continuously monitor the state of the mobile terminal and provides feedback to the processor. Based on this feedback (whether the terminal is being carried or fixed), the system intelligently controls screen delivery operations. Screen delivery is performed only when appropriate conditions are met, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining good user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
