Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If the advertisement slot is allotted to auction player based on bid price, then the advertisement platform can generate revenue, but the profits of the advertiser and the advertisement auction player cannot be effectively improved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertiser profitVSAvoidadvertisement allocation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by tracking consumer behavior data (clicks, purchases, time spent) and using this information to continuously optimize advertisement slot allocation. The feedback loop allows the system to learn from past performance and adjust allocations to maximize advertiser profits while maintaining platform revenue.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the allocation parameters from simple bid price to a composite metric that includes expected conversion rate, consumer interest level, and historical performance data. This parameter transformation enables the system to evaluate advertisement value more comprehensively and allocate slots to maximize overall profit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If the checkout process requires creating an account and involves multiple steps, then the platform can verify user identity and ensure transaction security, but consumers tend to not complete the checkout leading to poor return on investment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction securityVSAvoidcheckout process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The checkout process is segmented into optional stages: users can complete immediate purchase with one-click checkout using stored payment information, or proceed to account creation only if they wish to save their details for future transactions. This segmentation allows users to choose the level of engagement that suits their needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service checkout where users can complete transactions without manual intervention by leveraging pre-stored payment and shipping information. The one-click checkout feature allows users to automatically complete purchases by simply clicking a button, eliminating the need for manual form filling and account verification steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Quantity of substance

If more advertisement slots are allocated to increase visibility, then more consumers can be reached, but the checkout friction increases and leads to abandoned transactions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement exposureVSAvoidtransaction completion rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-storing user payment information, shipping addresses, and purchase preferences during account setup. This preliminary data collection enables one-click checkout functionality, allowing users to complete transactions instantly without going through lengthy checkout processes, thus maintaining high transaction completion rates even with increased advertisement exposure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
