Solution Overview

Problem

In the field of automobile repair, the process of finding a quote for a faulty automobile accessory is inefficient, requiring manual searches by repair personnel.

Innovation Solution

A quote display method and apparatus that utilizes an automobile repair terminal, a test server, a big data platform, and a quote server to automatically determine a target keyword for a faulty accessory, which is then used to retrieve accessory information and quote data from a quote server, facilitating quick display of replacement options.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual search method is used to find accessory quotes, then repair personnel can identify replacement options, but the process is inefficient and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequote search efficiencyVSAvoidtime required for manual quote search
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by automatically determining faulty accessories and generating replacement quotes without requiring manual intervention from repair personnel. The terminal device autonomously completes the entire quote search process, from parameter testing to displaying replacement options with pricing information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical search process with an automated electronic system. Instead of repair personnel manually searching for quotes, the system uses terminal devices, servers, and databases to automatically query, analyze, and display replacement accessory information with quotes, substituting human effort with automated computational processes.

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

2Productivity

If automated quote determination system is implemented, then quote search efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequote search efficiencyVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into distinct functional modules: terminal devices for parameter testing and quote display, servers for processing and analysis, and databases for storing accessory information. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, making the overall complex system manageable and maintainable through clear separation of concerns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces servers as intermediary components between terminal devices and accessory databases. The servers act as mediators that receive test parameters from terminals, query the databases, process the information, and return results to terminals. This intermediary layer simplifies the interaction between different system components and centralizes the complex processing logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
