Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If players are allowed to customize game rules and select alternative payout combinations, then player engagement and satisfaction are enhanced, but device complexity increases due to the need for systems to manage and track multiple customized rule sets

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayer engagementVSAvoidrule management system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The gaming system is divided into modular components: a rule configuration module that manages customized rules, a game execution module that applies selected rules, and a payout calculation module that processes results. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple customized rule sets without overwhelming complexity, as each module independently manages its specific function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from static preset rules to dynamic customizable rules. Players can select from multiple rule configurations and payout combinations, and the system adaptively applies the chosen rules during gameplay. This dynamic rule selection capability enhances player engagement while the underlying system maintains organized management of these variable parameters through structured data storage and retrieval mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If multiple customized rules and payout combinations are implemented, then player control and personalization are improved, but processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayer controlVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

All customized rules and payout combinations are pre-configured and stored in the system's memory before gameplay begins. When a player selects a customized rule set, the system retrieves the pre-calculated parameters and immediately applies them during gameplay. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for complex real-time calculations, maintaining processing speed while enabling extensive player control options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses standardized data structures and templates to represent customized rules and payout combinations. Instead of creating entirely new processing logic for each rule variation, the system creates copies of base rule templates with modified parameters. This approach allows multiple customized rules to be managed through efficient data copying and substitution rather than complex individual processing, preserving processing speed while enabling player personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
