Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the wearable device uses a fixed working mode, then the device structure is simple, but the device cannot adapt to different wearing positions and user interaction habits
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic working modes that automatically adjust based on detected wearing position. The device transitions between different operational states (first working mode for first wearing position, second working mode for second wearing position) based on real-time sensing data, making the system adaptive without requiring complex manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The device autonomously determines its wearing position using sensing units and automatically selects the appropriate working mode without user intervention. The system self-adjusts its operational parameters based on detected characteristic parameters, eliminating the need for manual mode switching while maintaining simplicity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the wearable device detects characteristic parameters to determine wearing position, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing unit serves multiple functions: it detects characteristic parameters for wearing position determination, and the same detected data basis is used for both position recognition and working mode selection. This multi-functional approach reduces overall system complexity while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The device continuously monitors characteristic parameters through the sensing unit and uses this feedback to automatically adjust the working mode. The closed-loop feedback mechanism enables real-time adaptation to wearing position changes without requiring complex open-loop control systems.
3Ease of operation
If the device operates in a mode matching the current wearing position, then user interaction convenience improves, but the system requires continuous monitoring and adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The device automatically monitors its own wearing position and self-adjusts the working mode without requiring user action. The system performs continuous monitoring and automatic switching independently, providing convenient user interaction while maintaining reasonable automation levels through autonomous operation.

AI summary
An information processing method and an electronic device are provided. The method includes: detecting a characteristic parameter of an electronic device by a sensing unit of the electronic device; determining wearing position data of the electronic device based on the characteristic parameter, where the wearing position data indicates a positional relation between the electronic device and a wearer when a fixed relation between the electronic device and at least a part of body of the wearer is maintained by a fixing element of the electronic device; and controlling the electronic device to operate in a working mode matching with the wearing position data.
