Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If exposure parameters for multiple sub-medical images are set and adjusted separately through traditional interfaces, then each parameter can be individually configured, but the operational complexity increases and imaging efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple exposure parameter settings into a unified graphical user interface that simultaneously displays and allows adjustment of parameters for all sub-medical images. This merging of previously separate configuration tasks into a single integrated interface reduces operational steps and improves imaging efficiency without sacrificing individual parameter controllability
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional parameter configuration interfaces are used for multiple sub-medical images, then parameter adjustment is possible, but the number of operations and steps increases
Solution Approach 1:
The graphical user interface is designed as a universal configuration system that can simultaneously handle exposure parameters for multiple sub-medical images through a single unified interface. This multi-functional interface replaces multiple separate configuration procedures, maintaining full parameter adaptability while significantly reducing operational complexity
3Measurement precision
If exposure parameters for multiple sub-medical images are configured through sequential interfaces, then each parameter can be precisely adjusted, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary organization of exposure parameters for all sub-medical images in a single unified display, allowing operators to configure all parameters simultaneously rather than sequentially. This preliminary presentation of all parameters in one interface eliminates the time loss associated with navigating through multiple separate configuration interfaces while maintaining precise adjustment capabilities
