Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a wearable device with camera is used for hands-free operation, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides functionality between the wearable device (camera capture, sound output) and the mobile terminal (display, control interface). The wearable device handles image capture and basic audio functions, while the mobile terminal provides the comprehensive control screen and display, allowing hands-free operation without concentrating all functions in one device.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile terminal acts as an intermediary between the wearable device and the user. It receives image data and control commands wirelessly, processes them through the control screen interface, and provides comprehensive control capabilities, thereby simplifying the user interaction while managing the complexity of the integrated system.
2Reliability
If real-time image display and recording is implemented, then safety monitoring capability is improved, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable device performs partial functions (image capture and basic processing) while the mobile terminal handles more intensive tasks (display rendering, complex processing). This distribution allows real-time safety monitoring without requiring the wearable device to consume excessive energy for all processing operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements real-time feedback through the control screen displaying current images and status information. This allows users to monitor their surroundings continuously while the system manages energy consumption by only processing and displaying critical safety-related information rather than constant high-resolution video streaming.
3Ease of operation
If integrated control screen is displayed on mobile terminal, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal's control screen serves multiple functions: displaying real-time images from the wearable device, providing camera controls, showing sound control options, and presenting navigation information. This multi-functional interface simplifies user interaction despite the underlying software integration complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile terminal creates a software-based control interface that replicates camera and sound control functions traditionally found on physical devices. This virtual control screen provides comprehensive functionality without requiring additional physical buttons or controls on the wearable device, managing complexity through software abstraction.
