Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If computerized cognitive training programs are delivered with fixed difficulty levels, then the system is simple to implement, but the efficiency and efficacy of training is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic difficulty adjustment where the system automatically modifies task difficulty levels based on real-time user performance data. The difficulty parameter is no longer fixed but dynamically adapts to individual user capabilities, optimizing training efficiency while managing system complexity through algorithmic automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the difficulty parameter dynamically based on user performance metrics. By continuously monitoring and adjusting the difficulty parameter according to user responses, the system optimizes training efficacy without requiring manual intervention, thus improving productivity while controlling complexity through automated parameter modification

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If personalized training regimens are implemented, then training efficacy is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining efficacyVSAvoidpersonalization system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service personalization by automatically analyzing user performance data and adjusting training parameters without external intervention. The algorithm independently evaluates user responses and modifies the training regimen accordingly, improving efficacy while minimizing the complexity burden on users and administrators

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements continuous feedback loops where user performance data is collected, analyzed, and used to adjust training parameters in real-time. This feedback mechanism enables automatic personalization that improves training efficacy while managing system complexity through structured data processing and algorithmic decision-making

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If adaptive difficulty adjustment is applied to each task, then training efficiency is optimized, but the computational processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining efficiencyVSAvoidcomputational energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies adaptive difficulty adjustment selectively rather than uniformly to all tasks. By implementing partial adaptation based on user performance patterns and task relevance, the system optimizes training efficiency for critical learning moments while reducing unnecessary computational processing for less impactful tasks, thus managing energy consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
