Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a wearable device is used to recognize product images and provide payment information, then user convenience and speed are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses an intermediary system consisting of a product information providing device and a server to handle the complex tasks of image recognition, product information retrieval, and payment processing. The wearable device itself remains simple, only needing to capture images and transmit data, while the intermediary systems perform the computationally intensive functions, thus resolving the contradiction between user convenience and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is segmented into multiple independent components: the wearable device for image capture, the product information providing device for image recognition and information retrieval, and the server for payment processing. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, with the wearable device remaining simple while the backend systems handle the complexity of information processing and payment operations.
2Productivity
If real-time product recognition is implemented, then service speed is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-storing product information and payment data in databases before they are needed. When a product image is captured, the system quickly matches it against pre-indexed data, enabling real-time recognition and information delivery without requiring extensive computational processing at the moment of capture, thus reducing processing time while maintaining high service speed.
3Measurement precision
If multiple sensors are installed in the wearable device, then measurement capability is improved, but device size and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable device utilizes a camera module that serves multiple functions: capturing product images for recognition, detecting motion through image sequence analysis, and potentially serving as a lighting source for product display. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated sensors, thereby maintaining measurement capability while minimizing device size and power consumption.
