Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional technique is employed where the user manually instructs and positions devices for data transmission, then the user has control over the transmission process, but the user's operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The communication apparatus automatically determines and selects the appropriate transmission application based on the communication partner's device information and the type of data to be transmitted. The system performs self-service by autonomously choosing the transmission method without requiring user intervention, thereby simplifying user operation and reducing the time needed for data transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically determining the communication partner's device information and pre-selecting the appropriate transmission application before the user initiates the transmission. This preliminary automation of application selection eliminates the need for users to manually choose transmission methods, thus improving ease of operation and reducing transmission time.
2Extent of automation
If the user manually selects and initiates the transmission application, then the transmission method can be precisely controlled, but the process becomes complex and requires multiple user steps
Solution Approach 1:
The communication apparatus performs self-service by automatically determining the appropriate transmission application based on device information and data type. This automation increases the extent of automation in the system while managing complexity through intelligent algorithms that automatically select transmission methods without requiring complex user configurations or manual intervention.
3Productivity
If multiple transmission applications are available for different data types, then the data transmission can be optimized for specific purposes, but the user faces difficulty in selecting the correct application
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically determining the correct transmission application based on the communication partner's device information and the type of data to be transmitted. This automation maintains high data transmission efficiency by selecting the most appropriate application for each specific case while eliminating the burden of manual application selection for the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from the communication partner's device information and the characteristics of the data to be transmitted to automatically determine the appropriate transmission application. This feedback mechanism ensures that the most efficient transmission method is selected for each specific scenario, maintaining high productivity while simplifying user operation.
