Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional advertisement devices are used, then the device structure is simple, but the ability to dynamically communicate messages through light patterns is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The advertisement device is segmented into multiple independent light emitters arranged in arrays, with each emitter capable of being controlled individually. This segmentation allows the system to form various light patterns and communicate different messages by activating specific emitters, thereby enhancing adaptability while managing complexity through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from static advertisement displays to dynamic light pattern generation. Controllers enable the light emitters to change states dynamically, creating moving patterns and sequences that convey messages over time. This dynamic capability significantly improves message communication versatility without requiring complete structural redesign
2Loss of information
If multiple light emitters and controllers are added to enable dynamic message display, then the message communication capability is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controllers are designed with multi-functionality, capable of managing multiple light emitter groups through standardized protocols. Each controller can execute various display patterns, sequences, and messaging functions, reducing the need for specialized components for each function. This universality minimizes overall system complexity while maximizing information conveyance capability
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces intermediary control mechanisms that mediate between the power source, controllers, and light emitters. These intermediaries standardize connections and control signals, making the system more manageable and easier to program. The intermediary layer abstracts the complexity, allowing simple programming of complex light patterns and messages
3Adaptability or versatility
If light emitters are arranged in multiple sets with controllers, then the ability to display selected phrases is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light emitter arrays are segmented into modular sets that can be manufactured independently and then assembled. Each module contains a standardized number of emitters and associated control circuitry, allowing for streamlined manufacturing processes. This modular segmentation maintains phrase display versatility while significantly improving ease of manufacture through standardized production units
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses homogeneous light emitter components with standardized specifications and mounting requirements. This homogeneity allows for simplified manufacturing processes, as all emitters can be produced using the same fabrication methods and assembled using uniform procedures. The standardized approach maintains the ability to display various phrases while reducing manufacturing complexity
