Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional location-based services provide services based on current location only, then the service delivery is simple and straightforward, but the services cannot meet the growing demand for individual and customized location-based services

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice customization capabilityVSAvoidservice processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments location information into multiple dimensions including current location, historical location, and future location. This segmentation enables the system to provide customized services by selecting and combining different location dimensions based on specific service requirements, thereby improving service adaptability without overwhelming complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic service processing rules that can adaptively select and combine different location information types (current, historical, future) based on service scenarios. This dynamic approach allows the system to flexibly respond to diverse service demands while maintaining a unified processing framework

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If location-based services use only current location information, then the processing is simple and fast, but the services lack personalization and adaptability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice personalizationVSAvoidservice processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary processing of location information by pre-categorizing it into current, historical, and future location data. This preliminary organization enables faster retrieval and combination of relevant location information during service delivery, reducing processing time while supporting personalized services

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of location information processing by introducing multiple location dimensions (current, historical, future) and their combinations. This parameter expansion allows the system to provide personalized services with enriched location context while maintaining efficient processing through structured data organization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
