Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If short distance radio communication units are added to enable dynamic identification of operation instruments, then adaptability and customization capability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The short distance radio communication unit serves multiple functions: it identifies the operation instrument type, stores identification information, and enables customized game processing. This multi-functional approach improves adaptability without proportionally increasing system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces physical mechanical identification mechanisms (such as contact-based detection) with wireless radio communication. This substitution enables non-contact identification of operation instruments, improving adaptability while reducing mechanical complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If information storage and radio communication capabilities are integrated into the operation instrument, then customization capability is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the storage unit and radio communication unit into an integrated module within the operation instrument. This merging approach enables customized game processing while simplifying the overall manufacturing process compared to separate integrated components.
Solution Approach 2:
The operation instrument with integrated storage and communication capabilities is designed as a relatively simple, potentially disposable accessory. This approach allows for customization without requiring complex, expensive, or difficult-to-manufacture components.
