Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the wireless sensor is installed without auxiliary devices, then the installation process becomes simpler, but the user cannot intuitively determine the installation orientation accuracy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a computing device as an intermediary between the wireless sensor and the user. This device receives orientation data from the sensor and presents it through a display interface with graphical elements, enabling the user to accurately assess installation orientation without needing physical auxiliary tools during installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces physical auxiliary installation tools with an electronic system consisting of an orientation detection assembly in the wireless sensor and a computing device with display interface. This substitution eliminates the need for mechanical level tools while providing precise orientation feedback through digital presentation.
2Device complexity
If the user relies on naked eye observation, then no additional devices are needed, but minor installation orientation deviations cannot be detected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical auxiliary installation tools with an electronic system consisting of an orientation detection assembly in the wireless sensor and a computing device with display interface. This substitution eliminates the need for mechanical level tools while providing precise orientation feedback through digital presentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the installation scene through graphical elements displayed on the computing device screen. This digital representation mirrors the actual sensor orientation, allowing users to visualize and assess installation accuracy without physical measurement tools.
3Manufacturing precision
If real-time orientation feedback is provided, then installation accuracy improves, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the computing device perform multiple functions: it serves as the display interface for orientation feedback, the processing unit for analyzing sensor data, and the communication hub between the sensor and user. This multi-functionality avoids adding dedicated complex feedback hardware, thereby limiting system complexity growth.

AI summary
A method for assisting in the installation of wireless sensors. The method is performed by a computing device and may include presenting, on a display interface of the computing device, a graphical element of the wireless sensor. An orientation of the graphical element in a displayed scene on the display interface is consistent with an installation orientation of the wireless sensor in an actual scene. The method may include presenting, on the display interface, an indication of an installation status of the wireless sensor. The installation status includes the installation orientation being correct or incorrect. The method may include presenting, on the display interface, a second indication of an adjustment suggestion for the installation orientation of the wireless sensor while the indication indicates that the installation orientation is incorrect. The adjustment suggestion includes an orientation adjustment direction and an orientation adjustment angle for the wireless sensor.
