Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If selection from a fixed list is used for visual control replacement, then the operation process is simple, but the customization range is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation processVSAvoidcustomization range
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically captures the current scene through the camera and performs intelligent matching to replace visual controls without requiring manual selection from a fixed list. This self-service mechanism expands customization range while keeping the operation simple for the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical selection process (manually choosing from a fixed list) with an intelligent image recognition and matching system. The camera captures the scene, and the system automatically matches and replaces visual controls, substituting manual mechanical operation with automated intelligent processing.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If intelligent matching is implemented for visual control replacement, then the customization range is expanded, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization rangeVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal device utilizes existing multi-functional components (camera for scene capture, processor for image recognition and matching) to implement intelligent visual control replacement. By leveraging the universal capabilities of existing hardware and software, the system achieves expanded customization without proportionally increasing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Device complexity

If manual selection from fixed options is used, then the system complexity is low, but the user engagement and emotional resonance are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically captures the current scene and performs intelligent matching to replace visual controls, providing a self-service experience that enhances user engagement. The user simply needs to trigger the replacement, and the system handles the rest, creating emotional resonance through personalized, context-aware visual customization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
