VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple independent control mechanisms are provided for each movement mechanism, then precise control of each mechanism is achieved, but the control process becomes too complicated and operation difficulty significantly increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol precisionVSAvoidoperation difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a single wearable device that integrates multiple sensing functions (circumferential posture sensing and pitching posture sensing) to control multiple movement mechanisms. The wearable device serves as a universal controller that can detect various body postures and translate them into corresponding control signals for different mechanisms, eliminating the need for multiple independent control devices.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical control systems (buttons, switches, or interface modules) with a posture sensing system based on gyroscopic sensors. The mechanical interaction between user and control mechanisms is substituted by detecting body posture through gyroscopes and converting posture changes into control signals, thereby simplifying the control process while maintaining precise control capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If multiple independent control mechanisms are arranged on the control part, then each movement mechanism can be precisely operated, but the control part becomes complex and convenience of use is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol precisionVSAvoidcontrol part complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple control functions into a single wearable device. The circumferential posture sensing mechanism and pitching posture sensing mechanism are integrated into one wearable unit that wears on the user's body. This consolidation reduces the control part from multiple separate mechanisms to a unified system, simplifying the overall device structure while preserving the ability to precisely control each movement mechanism through different posture detections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the control system into distinct functional modules: the wearable device containing gyroscopic sensors for posture detection, the main control mechanism for signal processing, and the execution mechanisms for movement. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function independently, making the overall system manageable despite its complexity. The wearable device itself is divided into circumferential posture sensing and pitching posture sensing components, each handling specific detection tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
