Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple diverse displays are provided in vehicles to enhance functionality and information presentation, then the amount of information and display capabilities are improved, but the complexity of managing and manipulating the displays increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal control mechanism where a single display control device can manage multiple diverse displays (instrument cluster, CID, HUD, etc.) through unified protocols. The processor executes common control logic that adapts to different display types, enabling centralized management while maintaining compatibility across various display technologies and formats.
Solution Approach 2:
The display control device serves as an intermediary between the vehicle's control systems and multiple displays. It receives control signals, processes them through a unified interface, and translates them into display-specific commands, thereby simplifying the management complexity by introducing a mediating control layer.
2Loss of information
If multiple displays are provided to provide comprehensive information, then information completeness is improved, but the ease of operation for users deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the control interfaces of multiple displays into a unified control system. By combining screen sharing, mirroring, and coordinated control capabilities, users can manage all displays through a single interaction paradigm rather than separately controlling each display, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts display content and control behavior based on user interactions. When a user manipulates one display, the control device dynamically coordinates related displays (e.g., showing related information on adjacent displays or enabling screen sharing), making the system adaptive to user needs and reducing operational complexity.
3Ease of operation
If screen sharing and mirroring features are added to improve user interface, then user experience is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display control device pre-configures screen sharing and mirroring capabilities as standard functions. By establishing default behaviors and pre-programmed control logic for these features, the system reduces the complexity of implementing such features while maintaining high user experience quality, as the control mechanisms are prepared in advance rather than requiring complex real-time decision-making.
