Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If cloud solutions are customized to specific organizational performance indicators and industry verticals, then solution relevance and effectiveness are improved, but system complexity and curation difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesolution customizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments cloud services into discrete curatable units with specific functionalities and performance metrics. Each cloud service is broken down into manageable components that can be independently evaluated, selected, and customized based on organizational needs, thereby reducing the complexity of managing customized solutions while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a solution engine as an intermediary system that automatically curates cloud services based on organizational performance indicators. This intermediary translates high-level organizational goals into specific cloud service selections, eliminating the need for manual customization while maintaining solution relevance and effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If cloud services are curated and translated into organizational language, then ease of operation is improved, but processing complexity and data requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveaccessibilityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a self-service system where the solution engine automatically curates cloud services and translates them into organizational language without requiring manual intervention. The system autonomously processes performance indicators, evaluates cloud services, and generates customized solutions, thereby maintaining ease of operation while managing processing complexity through automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms cloud service parameters into organizational performance metrics through automated translation. By changing the representation parameters from technical cloud service specifications to business-relevant performance indicators, the system improves accessibility while the underlying processing complexity is managed through standardized transformation algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If fitness metrics and historical data are used to evaluate cloud services, then solution quality and reliability are improved, but data processing requirements and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesolution qualityVSAvoidevaluation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary evaluation of cloud services by pre-calculating fitness metrics and storing historical performance data. Cloud services are pre-assessed and categorized based on their potential to meet organizational performance indicators, so that when a specific organizational need arises, the solution engine can quickly retrieve and match pre-evaluated services without performing time-consuming real-time analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where historical data from deployed cloud services is continuously collected and used to refine fitness metric calculations. This feedback loop improves solution quality over time by learning from actual performance data, while the system manages evaluation time by using accumulated historical insights to reduce the need for extensive real-time analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
