Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If wearable devices are used to transmit biometric data and environmental information in real-time, then the ability to respond in emergency situations is improved, but the device complexity and power consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemergency response capabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into separate functional modules: a wearable device for data collection, an LTE communication module for transmission, and a remote monitoring system for analysis. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, improving overall reliability without requiring a single complex device to handle all functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The wearable device integrates multiple sensors (biometric sensors, environmental sensors) and communication capabilities into a single platform that can serve both emergency monitoring and general health tracking purposes, spreading the development cost and complexity across multiple use cases.

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

2Loss of information

If real-time image capture and transmission is implemented, then information accuracy is improved, but power consumption and data loss increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accuracyVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of continuous image capture and transmission, the system uses periodic triggering based on emergency detection. When biometric or environmental thresholds are exceeded, the system activates image capture and transmission only at those critical moments, maintaining information accuracy when needed while minimizing overall power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The wearable device autonomously monitors biometric and environmental data, automatically triggering image capture and transmission when predetermined emergency conditions are met, without requiring continuous external control or manual activation, thus reducing power consumption while maintaining readiness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If LTE communication module is directly connected to external devices, then communication reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The LTE communication module is integrated directly into the wearable device, merging the communication function with the data collection unit. This eliminates the need for separate communication hardware and intermediate transmission devices, improving communication reliability while actually reducing overall system complexity through consolidation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
