Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If voice control interaction mode is used, then the voice device can be operated remotely, but it is not suitable for intensive operation scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote operation capabilityVSAvoidintensive operation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges voice control and touch control interaction modes into a unified system. The voice device can receive and process both voice instructions and touch screen operations, allowing users to switch between remote voice control and intensive touch-based operations depending on the scenario, thus resolving the contradiction between remote operation capability and intensive operation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The interaction mode of the voice device is made dynamic and adaptable. The system can flexibly switch between voice control mode (suitable for remote operations) and touch control mode (suitable for intensive operations) based on the operational context and user needs, thereby achieving both remote operation capability and intensive operation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If touch control interaction mode is used, then intensive operations can be performed, but it is not suitable for remote operation scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintensive operation efficiencyVSAvoidremote operation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple interaction modes (touch control and voice control) into a single voice device system. This allows the device to support both intensive local touch operations and remote voice-based operations, eliminating the need to choose between the two modes and resolving the contradiction between intensive operation efficiency and remote operation capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If existing interaction modes are used, then the voice device can function with basic controls, but user experience is adversely affected and innovation is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction mode flexibilityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The voice device is designed with multi-functional interaction capabilities, supporting both voice control and touch control modes. This universal design allows the device to adapt to various usage scenarios and user preferences, enhancing user experience and providing a foundation for future innovations in interaction technologies

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