Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If content is selected based on visitor's perceived interest and previous accesses, then visitor engagement is improved, but the system cannot adapt to varying connectivity conditions (device type, connection speed, time, day)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent selection adaptabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments connectivity information into distinct aspects (device type, connection speed, time of access, day of access) and processes each aspect separately through the connectivity analyzer to generate an access vector. This segmentation allows the system to handle complex connectivity variations without overwhelming complexity by breaking down the adaptation problem into manageable components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connectivity analyzer performs preliminary analysis of connectivity aspects before content selection occurs. By pre-processing connectivity information and creating an access vector that encapsulates connectivity characteristics, the system prepares adaptation data in advance, enabling faster and more efficient content selection that considers both visitor interest and connectivity conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If more shared content is served to increase revenue, then revenue is improved, but content relevance to specific connectivity conditions may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverevenue generationVSAvoidcontent relevance precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts content selection based on real-time connectivity conditions captured in the access vector. Rather than serving static content or uniformly increasing shared content volume, the connectivity-aware content selection adapts the type, format, and amount of content served to match current connectivity conditions, thereby maintaining relevance while optimizing revenue opportunities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes selection parameters based on connectivity aspects analyzed in the access vector. Different connectivity conditions (e.g., mobile vs. desktop, fast vs. slow connection, different times of day) trigger different content selection parameters, ensuring that content relevance is maintained across varying conditions while still serving multiple shared content items to maximize revenue.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If connectivity analysis is performed to improve content personalization, then content relevance is improved, but processing time and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent personalization precisionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The connectivity analyzer extracts only the essential connectivity aspects (device type, connection speed, time, day) needed for content personalization from the full set of available data. By taking out only the most relevant connectivity information and excluding unnecessary details, the system achieves effective personalization while minimizing processing time and computational overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial connectivity analysis by focusing on the four key aspects (device type, connection speed, time, day) rather than analyzing all possible visitor and connectivity parameters. This partial action approach provides sufficient personalization precision for effective content selection without the excessive processing time that would result from comprehensive analysis of all available data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
