Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing photodetectors require direct human interaction, which increases the risk of bacteria and virus transmission and can be inconvenient when located in hard-to-reach places.
Innovation Solution
A photodetector with a processor, signal transceiver, and controller that allows wireless control via an external device, enabling remote operation and reducing the risk of contamination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If direct touch operation is used, then ease of operation is improved, but risk of bacterial and viral transmission increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces wireless communication technology as an intermediary between the user and the photodetector. The external device communicates with the photodetector through wireless signals, eliminating the need for direct physical contact. This mediator approach allows users to operate the photodetector remotely, maintaining ease of operation while preventing bacterial and viral transmission through touch.
2Adaptability or versatility
If photodetector is disposed in hard-to-reach places, then device placement flexibility is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical touch-based operation system with a wireless communication system. Instead of requiring physical contact with buttons or interfaces on the photodetector, users can operate it remotely through wireless commands from external devices. This substitution enables the photodetector to be placed in hard-to-reach locations while maintaining ease of operation through remote control capabilities.
