Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual verification of circuit schematics is performed, then error detection capability is maintained, but verification time and labor cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical verification processes with an automated computer-based system. The system extracts schematic data, compares it against reference designs, and automatically generates verification reports, eliminating the need for manual checking while maintaining comprehensive error detection capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The verification system performs self-service by automatically extracting, processing, and analyzing schematic information without requiring human intervention. The system independently compares extracted data against reference components and generates its own verification conclusions, significantly reducing verification time while maintaining reliability.
2Productivity
If automated schematic verification is implemented, then verification speed increases, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts key verification functions from complex manual processes and implements them as independent automated modules. The system extracts schematic data, reference design data, and verification logic into separate processing units that can operate independently, increasing verification speed while keeping individual module complexity manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The verification system is designed as a universal platform that can handle multiple verification tasks through a single integrated architecture. The same system extracts data, compares against references, generates reports, and can be applied to different circuit designs, reducing overall system complexity despite high productivity.
3Manufacturing precision
If comprehensive component comparison is performed, then manufacturing precision is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary extraction and organization of schematic data before the actual verification comparison. By pre-processing and structuring the data in advance, the system prepares all necessary information for rapid comparison against reference designs, improving manufacturing precision while reducing actual verification processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of data processing by extracting and organizing schematic information into standardized formats that enable rapid comparison. The system transforms raw schematic data into structured comparison records, allowing comprehensive component verification to be performed quickly through efficient data processing and comparison algorithms.
Data Source
AI summary
A system includes one or more data processors and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions which, when executed on the one or more data processors, cause the one or more data processors to perform operations. The operations include receiving a design schematic, extracting keywords from the design schematic, and sorting the design schematic by the extracted keywords. The operations further include extracting a part number of a component from the sorted design schematic, comparing the component associated with the part number with a reference component associated with the part number, and displaying a result of the comparison indicating whether the component and the reference component match.
