Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple equivalent circuit candidates are collected and evaluated, then processing optimization is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing optimizationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the circuit selection process into distinct functional units: an equivalent circuit preparation unit that collects candidate circuits, and a function chain creation unit that evaluates and selects optimal circuits. This segmentation allows complex optimization to be broken down into manageable stages, improving processing optimization while controlling device complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The equivalent circuit preparation unit performs preliminary actions by collecting and preparing multiple candidate circuit configurations before the actual function chain creation. This preliminary preparation enables the system to have optimization options ready in advance, improving processing optimization without requiring complex real-time decision-making that would increase device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Speed

If calculation resources are optimized for specific tasks, then processing speed is improved, but adaptability to varying resource constraints deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The function chain creation unit dynamically selects and configures circuits from the prepared candidate pool based on current resource constraints and performance requirements. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to optimize processing speed for specific tasks while simultaneously adapting to varying resource constraints by reconfiguring the function chain according to available resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters such as circuit selection, connection topology, and resource allocation based on varying constraints. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system achieves optimized processing speed under specific conditions while maintaining adaptability to different resource environments through parameter reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
