Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If information is displayed on a control panel, then working parameters can be monitored, but the small panel size makes information indistinct and diverts operator attention

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation display clarityVSAvoidoperator attention focus
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions the display from a two-dimensional control panel to a three-dimensional windshield surface, utilizing the windshield as a display medium. This dimensional change allows information to be presented in the operator's direct line of sight without requiring attention diversion, thereby maintaining both information clarity and operational focus simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an auxiliary display system as an intermediary between the control system and the operator. This intermediary uses the windshield as a transmission medium to convey working parameter information directly to the operator's field of view, eliminating the need for the operator to shift attention to a separate control panel

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If detailed parameter information is displayed, then monitoring accuracy improves, but display complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter monitoring accuracyVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display area on the windshield into multiple regions, with each region dedicated to displaying specific working parameters. This segmentation allows detailed information to be organized and presented clearly without creating an overly complex unified display, maintaining monitoring accuracy while managing display complexity through structured spatial division

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different display characteristics to different regions of the windshield, optimizing the presentation of each parameter according to its importance and nature. This local quality approach ensures that critical parameters receive appropriate visual emphasis while maintaining overall display manageability, balancing monitoring precision with system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
