Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual data backup and transfer processes are used in conventional medical instruments, then data can be stored and transferred, but the process is time-consuming and laborious for medical practitioners
Solution Approach 1:
The storage device automatically performs data backup and transfer operations without requiring manual intervention from medical practitioners. The system self-manages data storage in the storage module and automatic transmission via the wireless transmission module, eliminating the need for practitioners to manually backup and transfer data between devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations (physically moving storage media, manual data copying) with automated electronic and wireless transmission systems. The processing control module orchestrates automatic data retrieval from the storage module and wireless transmission to external devices, substituting manual processes with automated control.
2Productivity
If manual data interpretation is performed by medical practitioners, then patient information can be obtained, but the process generates considerable psychological burden and cannot cope with sudden increase in patients
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically transmits medical data to external devices where it can be processed and analyzed. This self-service mechanism reduces the need for manual data interpretation by practitioners, as data is automatically available on external devices for processing, thereby reducing workload and psychological burden.
Solution Approach 2:
The wireless transmission module acts as an intermediary that automatically bridges the medical instrument and external devices. This intermediary system handles data transmission automatically, allowing external systems to process data without requiring direct manual intervention from practitioners, thus increasing patient processing capacity.
3Reliability
If data is stored in external storage devices before transfer, then data can be backed up, but the process requires additional manual steps and time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the storage function and wireless transmission function into a single integrated storage device. The storage module stores data locally within the medical instrument, and the processing control module automatically coordinates with the wireless transmission module to transfer data when needed. This merging eliminates the need for separate external storage devices and manual transfer steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated storage device automatically manages data backup and transmission without requiring manual intervention. The processing control module monitors data availability and automatically initiates wireless transmission when external devices are available, reducing the number of manual steps while maintaining reliable data backup capability.
