Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If AI features are added to electronic devices through traditional update processes, then AI functionality is improved, but device complexity and update difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAI feature capabilityVSAvoidupdate process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the AI processing functionality from the electronic device itself and relocates it to a separate AI terminal. The AI terminal performs AI processing on data from the electronic device and sends back control commands, allowing the electronic device to gain AI features without containing the complex AI processing hardware. This separation resolves the contradiction by providing AI capability while keeping the electronic device simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If hardware updates are performed to add new AI features, then AI functionality is improved, but economic waste occurs as users must purchase new devices

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAI feature expansionVSAvoideconomic waste
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The AI terminal serves multiple electronic devices simultaneously and can provide different AI features to different devices based on their capabilities. Instead of requiring separate AI processing hardware in each electronic device, a single AI terminal can serve as a universal AI engine for multiple devices, allowing feature expansion without additional hardware purchases by users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If AI processing is integrated into electronic devices, then AI features are provided, but manufacturing cost and device price increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAI feature provisionVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the expensive AI processing components from the electronic device and places them in a separate AI terminal. This allows the electronic device to be manufactured without costly AI hardware, reducing manufacturing costs and device prices, while still providing AI features through the external terminal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
