Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional cash-out methods are used, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but player engagement and entertainment value are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecash-out method simplicityVSAvoidcash-out option variety

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The cash-out system is segmented into multiple independent components: traditional cash-out, auction cash-out, bonus game cash-out, and time-deferred cash-out. Each component operates independently with its own rules and mechanisms, allowing players to choose different cash-out strategies based on their preferences and game state, thereby increasing versatility while maintaining operational simplicity through modular design

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The cash-out system is designed to perform multiple functions within a unified framework. It can handle immediate cash-out, auction-based cash-out, time-deferred cash-out, and cash-out during bonus games. The system universally supports various asset types (credits, virtual goods, prizes) and can adapt to different game contexts, making it highly versatile while maintaining a consistent user interface and操作流程

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If advanced cash-out methods with multiple options are implemented, then player engagement and entertainment value are enhanced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecash-out option varietyVSAvoidcash-out system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary auction mechanism and automated time-deferred cash-out management that mediates between the player and the complex underlying systems. The auction system acts as an intermediary layer that handles bidding, pricing, and transaction coordination, while time-deferred cash-out uses automated agents to manage future cash-out decisions, reducing the perceived complexity for players while enabling sophisticated cash-out strategies

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service mechanisms where players can autonomously configure their cash-out preferences, set time-deferred cash-out parameters, and participate in auctions without requiring complex manual intervention. The automated time-deferred cash-out system self-manages the cash-out process according to pre-set conditions, and the auction system automatically matches buyers and sellers, reducing operational complexity for players while providing advanced functionality

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If time-deferred cash-out with interest accrual is offered, then operator profitability increases through retained funds, but player access to immediate liquidity is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveoperator profitabilityVSAvoidcash-out delay

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The time-deferred cash-out system is designed to be dynamic rather than static. Players can adjust the deferral period, withdraw funds before the deferral period expires to stop interest accrual, or modify cash-out conditions based on changing needs. The system dynamically calculates accrued interest based on the actual deferral period and provides real-time information about available options, allowing players to optimize between immediate liquidity and interest earnings

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system allows players to change key parameters of the time-deferred cash-out arrangement. Players can modify the deferral period length, adjust withdrawal thresholds, change interest rate preferences, and update cash-out conditions. The system dynamically recalculates terms based on these parameter changes and provides updated projections of potential earnings, enabling flexible optimization of the trade-off between liquidity and profitability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes
