Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional learning approaches are used, then users can solve multiple problems and search for problems to learn concepts, but the learning efficiency decreases due to repetitive learning and inability to identify weak concepts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelearning efficiencyVSAvoidtime spent on repetitive learning
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors user performance on problems and uses this feedback to dynamically update the remedial problem set. When users improve their understanding level for a concept, the system automatically removes related problems from the remedial set, preventing repetitive learning and optimizing time investment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically determines which problems should be included in the remedial problem set based on user performance data and understanding level information, without requiring manual selection or intervention. This self-adjusting mechanism ensures optimal learning pathways are identified and provided automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If users manually search for problems to learn weak concepts, then they can address their weaknesses, but the process is inefficient and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of identifying weak conceptsVSAvoidtime to identify and address weak concepts
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically identifies users' weak concepts by analyzing their problem-solving performance and updates the remedial problem set accordingly. This eliminates the need for users to manually search for or identify their weak areas, significantly reducing the time and effort required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual process of identifying weak concepts through self-reflection or trial-and-error is replaced by an automated system that uses computational algorithms to analyze performance data and determine concept weakness, substituting mechanical user effort with automated intelligent processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed remedial problem set is provided, then users can practice problems, but the system cannot adapt to changes in user understanding level

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to user understanding levelVSAvoidcomplexity of updating problem set
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The remedial problem set transitions from a static fixed collection to a dynamic structure that automatically adapts to user progress. The system continuously monitors understanding level changes and adjusts the problem set in real-time, ensuring it remains optimized for the user's current learning needs without requiring manual reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates continuous feedback loops where user performance data is collected, analyzed, and used to automatically update the remedial problem set. This feedback mechanism enables the system to adapt to changing understanding levels while maintaining a manageable complexity through automated decision-making algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A method for determining remedial problems provided to a user is provided. The method includes the steps of: determining, with reference to information on the user's understanding level for at least one concept, problems included in a remedial problem set for improving the user's understanding level; and updating the problems included in the remedial problem set in response to a change in the user's understanding level for the at least one concept.
