Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for generating vibration description files for linear motors require high technical expertise and are inefficient, making it difficult to customize vibration effects for various service scenarios, which limits the expansion of vibration functions and user experience in electronic devices.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that present a user interface to display and adjust waveforms, allowing users to generate vibration description files through interaction with pre-configured waveforms or external sources, reducing the need for programming and enabling efficient customization of vibration parameters, including amplitude, frequency, and time, while preventing parameter adjustments that could damage the motor.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a technician writes code to form a vibration description file, then the vibration description file can be generated, but the process requires high technical expertise and has low efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration description file generationVSAvoidtechnical threshold
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a waveform display interface as an intermediary between the user and the vibration description file generation process. Instead of requiring users to write code directly, the system provides a visual waveform editor where users can adjust vibration parameters through graphical manipulation. This intermediary interface translates user-friendly operations into the technical vibration description files needed by the linear motor controller, thereby resolving the contradiction between reliability of file generation and ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical/cognitive process of writing and debugging code with a visual graphical user interface system. Users interact with waveforms through visual display and graphical adjustments rather than textual programming. This substitution eliminates the need for technical expertise in coding while maintaining the ability to generate accurate vibration description files, thus improving ease of operation without sacrificing reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If a technician writes code to form a vibration description file, then the vibration description file can be generated, but the process is time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration description file generationVSAvoidgeneration efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by providing pre-configured waveform templates and presets that users can select directly without manual adjustment. The system prepares common vibration patterns in advance, allowing users to quickly generate vibration description files by simply selecting from available options. This eliminates the time-consuming process of writing code from scratch while maintaining the ability to customize when needed, thereby significantly improving generation efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables users to copy and reuse existing vibration waveforms for different applications. Once a vibration pattern is created or selected, it can be replicated and modified for various service scenarios without recreating it each time. This copying capability dramatically increases productivity by allowing rapid generation of vibration description files across multiple uses while maintaining reliable and consistent vibration patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If users can freely adjust waveform parameters, then customization capability is improved, but the risk of motor damage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration customizationVSAvoidmotor damage risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms that monitor adjusted waveform parameters in real-time and provide information to the user about potential motor damage risks. The system analyzes the parameters users set and gives feedback warnings when adjustments exceed safe thresholds. This feedback loop allows users to maintain high customization capability while preventing harmful parameter combinations that could damage the linear motor, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by pre-establishing safety constraints and validation rules for waveform parameters before they can be applied to the linear motor. The system proactively prevents harmful parameter settings by checking adjustments against known safe operating ranges and blocking or warning about potentially damaging configurations. This preliminary protective action enables full customization within safe boundaries while preventing motor damage before it can occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action
