Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a wearable patch system is used to detect multiple parameters, then measurement precision and adaptability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the detection function into separate specialized sensors (accelerometer for motion, temperature sensor for thermal data, humidity sensor for environmental conditions) rather than using a single complex multi-functional device. Each sensor segment handles a specific measurement task, improving precision while keeping individual components simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The wearable patch integrates multiple sensor types and communication capabilities (narrowband and ultrawideband frequencies) into a single universal interface device that can detect various parameters including motion, temperature, and humidity, eliminating the need for multiple separate devices.
2Ease of operation
If current interface devices are used, then ease of operation is maintained, but reliability deteriorates due to breaking or failure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical interface devices (joysticks, buttons) with a wearable patch system that uses sensors to detect user parameters. This eliminates mechanical wear and breaking while maintaining ease of operation through natural body parameter detection.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface device is implemented as a flexible wearable patch that conforms to the user's body, eliminating rigid mechanical structures that can break while maintaining comfort and ease of operation through flexible, durable materials.
3Device complexity
If current interface systems are used, then device complexity is kept simple, but adaptability deteriorates as they can only detect arm movements
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable patch integrates multiple sensor types (accelerometer, temperature sensor, humidity sensor) and communication capabilities (narrowband and ultrawideband frequencies) into a single universal interface device that can detect various parameters including motion, temperature, and humidity, eliminating the need for multiple separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts its detection capabilities by incorporating multiple sensor types that can detect different parameters (motion, temperature, humidity) based on user needs, allowing the interface to adjust to various activities and environments rather than being limited to static arm movement detection.
