Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If content fingerprint information is used to provide customized services, then user convenience and service personalization are improved, but device complexity and system requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that handles complex fingerprint generation and content identification tasks. The server receives images from user terminals, generates fingerprints, identifies content, and provides customized services, thereby reducing the complexity burden on user devices while maintaining high personalization levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system divides functionality into separate modules: image acquisition at user terminals, fingerprint generation on servers, content identification through fingerprint matching, and customized service delivery. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and reduces overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If accurate content identification through fingerprint information is implemented, then service personalization and revenue generation are improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent identification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-generates and stores fingerprint information for content items before users request customized services. This preliminary action allows for rapid matching and identification when users interact with content, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a digital copy of content fingerprints that can be rapidly compared and matched without reprocessing the original content. This copying approach enables fast, accurate identification by working with pre-extracted feature data rather than analyzing full content repeatedly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If customized services based on content fingerprints are provided, then user engagement and revenue opportunities are improved, but data processing requirements and information management complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverevenue generation efficiencyVSAvoidinformation management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential fingerprint features from content images and stores these condensed representations rather than the full original data. This extraction reduces information management complexity while preserving the necessary data for accurate content identification and customized service delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where user interactions and service responses are continuously monitored and used to refine future fingerprint generation and matching algorithms. This feedback loop optimizes information processing efficiency and improves revenue generation by adapting to user preferences over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
