Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing technologies for drafting circuit diagrams face inefficiencies and labor-intensive verification processes, especially when dealing with large and complex circuit designs, as they require manual checking and rechecking of connections, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Innovation Solution
A circuit diagram drafting system equipped with a line marker managing unit that allows for the selection and application of line markers based on predetermined set units, enabling efficient verification by highlighting connections and allowing for easy navigation between circuit components, reducing the need for manual verification and reverification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If automatic connection path extraction is performed in gigantic circuits, then verification completeness is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the gigantic circuit into multiple sheets or pages, allowing verification to be performed on smaller manageable segments rather than the entire circuit at once. This segmentation enables the verification process to be broken down into smaller tasks that can be processed more efficiently.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary organization of connection information by creating a structured representation of connections before verification. Connection paths are pre-identified and organized, so that during verification, the system only needs to check against this pre-organized data rather than searching through the entire circuit diagram from scratch.
2Reliability
If manual verification by coloring connections is performed repeatedly during design rework, then connection accuracy is maintained, but labor time and effort increase extremely
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a digital representation or model of the connection verification state that can be copied and reused during design rework. Instead of manually coloring connections each time, the system maintains a digital record of verified connections that can be automatically applied or referenced when the design is modified.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements an automated feedback mechanism that tracks verification results and compares them against the current circuit design state. When design rework occurs, the system automatically feedbacks the verification status and updates connection accuracy checks without requiring manual intervention.
3Measurement precision
If detailed connection verification is performed on huge circuit diagrams, then verification thoroughness is improved, but operator fatigue and error rate increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual verification process with an automated computer-based system. The computer automatically performs connection verification by comparing the circuit diagram against design rules and connection standards, eliminating the need for operators to manually trace and verify connections.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses color-coded visual indicators to represent different verification states of connections. Verified connections are highlighted with specific colors or markings, allowing operators to quickly assess verification status without having to perform detailed manual checks, thereby reducing fatigue while maintaining thoroughness.
