Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If operation type data is collected and stored for each analysis apparatus, then comprehensive management of multiple apparatuses is achieved, but data management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive management capabilityVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments operation type data into distinct categories (measurement, error, maintenance, security, analysis, operation, report operation) and stores them separately in the operation type data storage part. This segmentation allows comprehensive management of multiple apparatuses while maintaining organized, manageable data structures that reduce complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If operation type data is stored on a data type by data type basis, then data retrieval efficiency is improved, but storage structure complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata retrieval efficiencyVSAvoidstorage structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The operation type data storage part stores data segmented by operation type (measurement, error, maintenance, etc.), enabling efficient retrieval through categorical organization. This segmentation approach improves productivity by allowing direct access to specific operation types while maintaining a structured storage framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The display control part provides universal access to operation type data across multiple analysis apparatuses through a unified interface. This multi-functionality allows the system to handle diverse data types from different apparatuses while presenting them through a common display mechanism, reducing the perceived complexity for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If centralized management of operation types is implemented, then management perspective versatility is enhanced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanagement perspective versatilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The management apparatus serves as an intermediary between multiple analysis apparatuses and users. It receives operation type data from various apparatuses, processes and organizes it, and presents it through the display control part. This intermediary role enables versatile management perspectives while shielding users from the underlying system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The management apparatus provides universal management capabilities across multiple analysis apparatuses through a single centralized system. It can manage different operation types (measurement, error, maintenance, etc.) from various apparatuses through unified functions, enhancing management versatility without requiring separate systems for each apparatus.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
