Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If specific communication software and camera drivers are installed to enable audio-visual communication, then the video conference function can be achieved, but the device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to installation requirements and compatibility limitations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudio-visual communication functionVSAvoiddriver installation and compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a wireless transmission device as an intermediary between the camera and the receiving device. This mediator handles the complex driver communication and data format conversion, allowing the camera to connect wirelessly without requiring specific drivers on the receiving end. The intermediary device assumes the role of the complex software/driver layer, simplifying the connection process while maintaining reliable audio-visual communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The wireless transmission device is designed with universal compatibility, supporting multiple operating systems and hardware platforms through a standardized USB interface. The device can work with various camera types and receiving devices without requiring device-specific drivers or software installations, achieving broad universality that resolves the compatibility and ease of operation issues.

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

2Ease of operation

If wireless connection is used to connect camera to transmission device, then the ease of operation improves by eliminating physical connection requirements, but the reliability may deteriorate due to wireless transmission stability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless connection convenienceVSAvoiddata transmission stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical USB physical connection between camera and receiving device with a wireless connection system. The wireless transmission device acts as a bridge, receiving data wirelessly from the camera and transmitting it via USB to the receiving device. This substitution maintains connection stability while significantly improving ease of operation by eliminating the need for physical plugging and unplugging of cables.

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