Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If vibration is imparted to the device to increase sense of realism, then user experience is improved, but posture detection accuracy deteriorates because the detected posture may be affected by the vibration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates vibration detection from posture detection by using different sensors (acceleration sensor for vibration, posture sensor for posture). This segmentation allows independent processing of vibration signals and posture signals, preventing vibration noise from affecting posture detection accuracy while still providing haptic feedback to users.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing step where vibration detection results are used to correct or compensate for posture detection data. The vibration detection acts as a mediator that identifies when vibration occurs and adjusts the posture detection accordingly, maintaining accuracy despite vibration interference.
2Ease of operation
If gesture-based control is implemented for intuitive operation, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability of function execution deteriorates due to vibration interference with detection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where vibration detection results are fed back into the gesture recognition system. When vibration is detected, the system adjusts its interpretation of posture changes, distinguishing between intentional gestures and vibration-induced movements. This feedback loop ensures that functions are executed reliably even during vibration periods.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary vibration detection and characterization before processing gesture commands. By detecting and analyzing vibration patterns in advance, the system can preemptively adjust its gesture recognition thresholds or ignore detections that coincide with vibration events, ensuring reliable function execution.
