Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If voice feedback is used for interactive feedback during information input, then user interaction convenience is improved, but information security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces vibration feedback as an intermediary mechanism between user input and information output. Instead of directly providing voice feedback that could compromise security, the system uses vibration motors to generate tactile signals that convey input status and guide users, thereby maintaining security while preserving interaction convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces acoustic feedback (voice) with mechanical feedback (vibration). The vibration motor generates tactile sensations through mechanical oscillation, substituting the acoustic channel with a mechanical one that does not expose sensitive information while still providing interactive guidance.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If vibration feedback is used for information input, then information security is improved, but feedback accuracy may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the vibration feedback into distinct patterns corresponding to different control elements (anchor elements vs. non-anchor elements). Each element type receives customized vibration patterns, allowing users to distinguish between different input targets and maintain high feedback accuracy through pattern recognition.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different vibration characteristics to different regions or types of control elements. Anchor elements receive one type of vibration pattern while non-anchor elements receive another, creating local quality differences that enhance user ability to identify and differentiate between elements, thereby maintaining feedback accuracy.
