Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Difficulty of detecting and measuring

If a wearable mobile terminal captures and processes machine-readable codes, then data extraction capability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata extraction capabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Difficulty of detecting and measuringVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the code processing functionality into separate modules: a camera module for capturing codes, a processing system for decoding, and a display system for showing results. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while maintaining overall system functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The wearable mobile terminal integrates multiple functions including code capture, data processing, and synchronized display across multiple devices. The system can simultaneously perform scanning, decoding, and distributed display operations, making the device versatile for various data extraction scenarios.

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

2Loss of information

If data is displayed on multiple connected devices simultaneously, then information availability is improved, but synchronization difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation availabilityVSAvoidsynchronization difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the processing system receives captured code data and automatically distributes it to connected display devices. The synchronized display is achieved through automated data push mechanisms that ensure all connected devices receive and display the same information simultaneously, eliminating manual synchronization efforts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple display devices into a unified information distribution system. The processing system acts as a central hub that merges data from the code capture and distributes it to multiple endpoints, creating a synchronized multi-device display experience while simplifying the overall synchronization process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
