Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the cloud terminal device is equipped with a powerful GPU to support independent display on multiple monitors, then the display capability is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent display on multiple monitorsVSAvoidconfiguration of cloud terminal device
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

An information processing apparatus is introduced as an intermediary component between the cloud terminal device and the monitors. This apparatus handles the complex signal processing and conversion required for multi-monitor independent display, allowing the cloud terminal device to maintain a simple configuration while still achieving the desired display capability through the intermediary's processing power

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The display processing function is segmented from the cloud terminal device and assigned to a separate information processing apparatus. This segmentation allows the cloud terminal device to remain simple and cost-effective, while the specialized processing apparatus handles the complex multi-monitor display requirements independently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the cloud terminal device is equipped with a powerful GPU to support independent display on multiple monitors, then the display capability is improved, but the cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent display on multiple monitorsVSAvoidcosts of cloud terminal device
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The information processing apparatus serves as a cost-effective intermediary that provides the necessary processing power for multi-monitor display without requiring the cloud terminal device itself to be expensive. This separates the high-cost processing function from the terminal device, reducing overall system cost

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The information processing apparatus can be implemented as a more affordable, potentially disposable or easily replaceable component rather than building expensive capabilities into the main cloud terminal device. This allows cost optimization by using simpler, cheaper processing equipment for the specific display function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)
