Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual configuration optimization is used for gaming systems, then users can customize settings, but the complexity and time required for optimization increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegaming performance optimizationVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically characterizes game spaces and optimizes hardware, software, and network configurations without requiring manual user intervention. The cloud-based service performs self-service optimization by evaluating gaming performance capabilities and autonomously determining optimal configurations, thereby resolving the contradiction between achieving reliable gaming performance optimization and avoiding configuration complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

A cloud-based intermediary service is introduced between the user and the gaming system configuration. This intermediary automatically evaluates game space characteristics, analyzes gaming performance capabilities, and determines optimal configurations, thereby eliminating the need for users to directly engage with complex configuration parameters while ensuring reliable gaming performance optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If comprehensive hardware and software evaluation is performed, then gaming performance is optimized, but the time and computational resources required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegaming performance capabilityVSAvoidevaluation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary characterization of game spaces by evaluating hardware, software, and network configurations before actual gaming sessions. By conducting this evaluation in advance and storing the results, the system avoids repeated comprehensive evaluations, thereby reducing evaluation time while maintaining reliable gaming performance capability assessment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The cloud-based service creates a virtual representation or model of the game space by copying and analyzing configuration data. This virtual model allows for rapid evaluation and optimization without requiring physical manipulation or extensive testing of the actual hardware and software, thereby reducing evaluation time while preserving gaming performance capability accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Game spaces are configured for best computer functioning. A game space is defined by hardware, software, and network(s). Each game space in a home or business is characterized for gaming performance capabilities. Individual devices, peripherals (such wireless gaming controllers, steering wheels, and joysticks), and even networks are also characterized for gaming performance capabilities. Cloud-based services then determine hardware, software, and network configurations that, when combined as a best game space, yield the best computer functioning for computer gaming. The cloud-based services may even auto-install or auto-execute the configurations that yield the best computer functioning for computer gaming. Once the game spaces are characterized and configured, gaming content may be recommended that exploits the best computer functioning.
