Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual personnel planning methods are used, then flexibility in handling complex variables is maintained, but processing efficiency and accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical planning processes with an automated computer-based calculation system. The calculation engine automatically processes personnel data, applies payroll calculations, and generates planning results without manual intervention, dramatically improving processing efficiency while managing complexity through software automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service planning by allowing users to define their own calculation parameters, input data, and generate results through an interactive interface. The calculation engine autonomously processes the defined parameters and produces planning outcomes, reducing the need for expert manual analysis while maintaining flexibility.
2Speed
If automated calculation systems are implemented, then processing speed improves, but system complexity and difficulty of operation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The calculation engine is designed as a universal system that can handle multiple types of payroll calculations and planning scenarios through a single interface. Users can define different calculation types (e.g., salary projections, benefit costs, tax calculations) using the same underlying system, improving ease of operation while maintaining high processing speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary calculation engine that sits between the user interface and the complex calculation logic. This engine translates user-friendly input parameters into detailed calculation instructions, allowing fast automated processing while presenting a simple interface to users. The engine mediates between operational simplicity and computational complexity.
3Measurement precision
If detailed personnel data processing is performed, then planning accuracy improves, but data processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining calculation templates, payroll rules, and planning parameters before actual data processing begins. Users can set up calculation frameworks in advance, and when detailed personnel data is processed, the pre-configured system quickly applies the appropriate calculations, achieving both high accuracy and reduced processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the detailed personnel planning process into distinct calculation modules (e.g., base salary calculations, benefit computations, tax applications). Each module processes specific aspects of personnel data independently and efficiently. This segmentation allows the system to handle detailed data with high accuracy while minimizing overall processing time through parallel or sequential execution of specialized sub-routines.
