Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a general control system is used to control multiple lamp mirrors, then synchronous control capability is achieved, but control flexibility is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol flexibilityVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Each lamp mirror is equipped with both control and controlled functions simultaneously. Any lamp mirror can act as a general control to issue commands, and any lamp mirror can act as a controlled object to receive commands. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for dedicated control units while maintaining synchronous control capability across all mirrors.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the control function and the controlled object function into a single integrated system where lamp mirrors serve dual purposes. Instead of separating control units from controlled mirrors, the system allows any mirror to perform both roles, simplifying the overall control architecture while preserving flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Productivity

If individual control of each lamp mirror is implemented, then control flexibility is maintained, but operational efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol efficiencyVSAvoidoperational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables any lamp mirror to function as a control unit, allowing users to initiate synchronous control operations from any mirror location. This universal control capability improves operational efficiency by eliminating the need to access a specific central control point, while the wireless communication mechanism maintains simplicity in execution.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where control instructions issued by any lamp mirror are transmitted wirelessly to other mirrors in the group, ensuring synchronized execution. The feedback loop confirms that all mirrors receive and execute the control instruction simultaneously, improving both efficiency and reliability without adding operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
