Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple wearable devices are used to detect different physiological parameters, then measurement capability is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement capabilityVSAvoidoperation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The wearable device integrates multiple detection functions into a single device. Different touch positions on the device surface correspond to different execution modules (first detector, second detector), enabling the same device to measure multiple physiological parameters such as pulse rate and blood pressure through unified operation interface.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The device surface is divided into multiple touch sensing areas with distinct touch positions. Each touch position or combination of positions corresponds to specific execution modules, allowing the system to selectively activate different detection functions based on user input patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple wearable devices are used to detect different physiological parameters, then measurement capability is improved, but device complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement capabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple detection functions are merged into a single wearable device. The device incorporates both a first detector and a second detector within the same device body, with a unified control interface that manages both detection modules through different touch positions, eliminating the need for separate devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The single wearable device is designed to perform multiple measurement functions. By integrating different execution modules (first detector for pulse rate, second detector for blood pressure) into one device with a common touch sensing interface, the system achieves multi-functionality without proportionally increasing overall device complexity.

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

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses a control method of a wearable device execution module and a wearable device. The control method includes detecting at least one touch position and determining a set consisting of the detected at least one touch position as a current touch position set, the at least one touch position being a position at a predetermined touch sensing area; determining an execution module corresponding to the current touch position set as a current execution module based on a correspondence between predetermined touch position sets and execution modules and generating a control command; and transmitting the control command to the current execution module so that the current execution module executes the control command.
