Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional search functions are used in mainframe systems, then the search operation is simple to implement, but the search cannot provide context for queried keywords and is tedious and complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch operation simplicityVSAvoidcontext information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an AI-based model as an intermediary between the user's keyword query and the dataset. This intermediary automatically identifies relevant steps and paragraphs, extracts context information, and presents it in a structured format, thereby bridging the gap between simple search operations and comprehensive context provision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical search functions with an AI-based automated system. The AI model processes queries, identifies relevant data, extracts context, and formats results automatically, eliminating the need for manual, tedious search operations while providing comprehensive context information.

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

2Reliability

If AI-based model is used to identify and tag relevant steps and paragraphs, then search reliability and context provision are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the search process into distinct phases: query reception, AI-based identification of relevant steps and paragraphs, tagging with identifiers, verification, and display. This segmentation allows the complex AI-based system to handle complexity systematically while maintaining high reliability through structured processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The AI-based model performs self-service by automatically identifying relevant data, extracting context information, and formatting results without requiring manual intervention. This automation maintains high reliability while managing system complexity through intelligent self-processing capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If comprehensive context is extracted for each keyword, then problem resolution is expedited, but processing time and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproblem resolution speedVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by using AI-based identification to extract only the necessary context information related to queried keywords, rather than processing the entire dataset. This selective extraction expedites problem resolution by focusing resources on relevant information while minimizing unnecessary processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing and indexing the dataset to enable faster AI-based identification during actual search operations. This preparation allows rapid extraction of relevant context information when queries are received, reducing processing time while maintaining comprehensive problem resolution capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
