Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the software system provides comprehensive features and functionalities, then the system capability and feature completeness are improved, but the learning curve becomes steeper and user complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem capabilityVSAvoidlearning curve
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex software system into reusable templates that encapsulate specific functionalities. Each template represents a modular unit containing predefined configurations, settings, and components. Users can select and deploy individual templates rather than configuring entire systems, thereby reducing learning complexity while maintaining comprehensive system capability through template combinations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring templates with default settings, best practices, and optimized configurations. Templates are prepared in advance with common workflows and parameters already established, allowing users to deploy functional systems immediately without extensive learning or configuration, thus reducing the learning curve while preserving full system capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the software system provides comprehensive features and functionalities, then the system capability is improved, but the time required for users to derive value increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem capabilityVSAvoidtime to derive value
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Templates are pre-configured with optimal settings, workflows, and configurations before deployment. Common operational patterns and best practices are embedded within templates, enabling users to immediately utilize full system capabilities without spending time on configuration, learning, or setup, thus eliminating time loss while maintaining comprehensive functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses templates as reusable copies of proven configurations and workflows. Instead of creating systems from scratch or learning complex configurations, users can copy and deploy pre-validated templates that encapsulate comprehensive features, immediately deriving value from the full system capability without time investment in setup or learning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If the software system provides comprehensive features, then the system capability is improved, but users may avoid using the system due to complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem capabilityVSAvoiduser adoption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system is segmented into discrete, selectable templates that represent specific functionalities or workflows. Users interact with individual templates rather than the entire complex system at once, making the interface more approachable and easier to understand. Each template is self-contained and purpose-specific, reducing cognitive load and improving ease of operation while maintaining comprehensive system capability through template assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Templates are designed to be self-explanatory and self-configuring, with intuitive interfaces and automatic setup capabilities. Users can deploy templates with minimal input, and the templates automatically configure their internal parameters and workflows. This self-service approach eliminates the need for extensive training or complex user interactions, improving adoption while preserving full system capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The system provides multiple templates associated with a software system and multiple primitives associated with the software system to an artificial intelligence, where a template among the multiple templates includes a subset of the multiple primitives. The system provides an instruction to the artificial intelligence to generate an output template, where the instruction includes an attribute associated with a user of the software system. The system obtains from the artificial intelligence the output template including at least two primitives among the multiple primitives, where the at least two primitives are selected based on the attribute associated with the user of the software system.
